1. Product Overview

The Elastomeric/Plasticized Copper-Backed Root-Resistant APP Waterproof Membrane is a high-performance waterproofing material that incorporates copper-backed technology for root resistance and enhanced durability. The membrane is made from Atactic Polypropylene (APP) polymer, combined with elastomeric and plasticized properties, offering superior flexibility and resistance to cracking. The copper backing acts as an effective barrier against root penetration, making it ideal for green roofing systems, gardens, and landscapes. This membrane provides excellent waterproofing performance, weather resistance, and long-term durability, even in the most demanding environmental conditions.

2. Key Features

• Copper-Backed Root Resistance: The copper backing prevents root penetration, ensuring protection in green roof systems and landscapes.

• Superior Waterproofing: Provides reliable and effective waterproofing, protecting structures from water infiltration.

• Elastic and Flexible: The APP polymer provides flexibility, enabling the membrane to adapt to movements and prevent cracking.

• UV and Ozone Resistance: Exceptional resistance to UV rays and ozone, making it highly durable for outdoor applications.

• Chemical and Weather Resistance: The membrane is highly resistant to chemicals, oils, and extreme weather conditions, ensuring long-term durability.

• Easy Installation: The membrane can be easily installed using heat welding or adhesive methods.

• Environmentally Friendly: The material is environmentally friendly and recyclable, meeting sustainability standards.

3. Applications

• Green roofing systems and rooftop gardens.

• Landscape waterproofing and root barrier applications.

• Waterproofing for parks, green spaces, and urban developments.

• Protection for terraces and balconies with vegetation.

• Suitable for both new construction and renovation projects.

4. Installation Process

1. Surface Preparation: Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free from debris and contaminants.

2. Unroll the Membrane: Lay the elastomeric/plasticized copper-backed APP waterproof membrane on the prepared surface.

3. Adhesive or Mechanical Fastening: Apply adhesive or mechanical fasteners to secure the membrane depending on the project needs.

4. Seam Welding: Overlap the seams and heat weld them to create a strong, waterproof bond.

5. Final Inspection: Inspect the membrane to ensure there are no gaps, air pockets, or defects in the installation.
