APP Modified Bitumen Membrane
APP Modified Bitumen Membrane
High-performance torch-on waterproofing plastomeric multi-purpose membranes guaranteeing years of use in cold climates.
Strong and versatile torch-on waterproofing plastomeric membranes ideal for medium complexity applications while ensuring good mechanical properties.
The APP membrane, short for Atactic Polypropylene Membrane, is a special waterproofing material that is manufactured from Bitumen. They comes in rolls. Each roll measures 10 meters by 1 meter and covers an area of 8.7 m². With proper workmanship, the APP membrane is a very efficient and durable waterproofing material used in most constructions. It is a common waterproofing material used on concrete flat roofs (which are still roofs) or roofs with low pitch. Apart from concrete roofs and low pitched roofs, other areas of application are concrete gutters, basements and retaining walls.
RABIT APP Modified Bitumen Membrane is a superior, high-performance waterproofing membrane, formulated with select bitumen, modified with APP for greater elasticity, flexibility, and further enhanced with a blend of Polypropylene (PP) for high heat resistance (up to 120 degrees), greater elongation and low temperature flexibility (up to –5 degrees). Hence, it is the cause of optimum adhesion and flexibility of modified bitumen.
The existence of different types of reinforcing layers, increase tenacity and dimensional stability against fatigue and rupture forces.
The main advantages of our APP membranes include:
- Enhanced bitumen performance by increasing UV resistance
- Increasing flexibility at low temps
- Improving flow resistance at high temps
- Excellent weathering
- Fire resistant properties
- Climate adaptability
RABIT APP Modified Bitumen Membrane has been certified by ISIRI with the national number of 3885–1 in “prefabricated waterproofing membranes with modified polymer plastic (BPP)” category and is granted for manufacturing and marketing of the product.

Benefits of APP Membrane
Some advantages of using the APP membrane is that it has enhanced bitumen performance which helps in UV resistance. It is not affected by rapid changes in temperature and is still efficient during extreme hot and cold temperatures. APP waterproofing membranes also provide superior tensile strength while maintaining critical flexibility – even in the coldest environments which make it hard to crack
Guaranteed by more than 15 years in the field, the high polymer contents dramatically improve durability maintaining the plasticity and superior heat resistance and flexibility at low temperatures, right price/quality ratio, ideal for a wide range.

MEMBRANE FAQ ???
Q. What is an APP modified bituminous membrane?
A. It is a multi-layer waterproofing membrane made of APP modified bitumen.
Q. How do you apply APP membranes?
A. APP membranes are laid by torch-on application. A flame contact causes melting on the surface of the membrane which is then pressed to the substrate with overlaps from adjoining membranes.
