1.1This specification covers prefabricated modified bituminous sheet materials reinforced with polyester fabric as the primary reinforcement, with or without granules, which use styrene butadiene styrene (SBS) thermoplastic elastomer as the primary modifier and are intended for use in the fabrication of multiple ply roofing and waterproofing membranes.
1.2Modified bituminous sheets reinforced with polyester fabric containing glass yarns are also covered by this specification (see Note 1).
Note 1:When used, glass yarns improve processing of polyester mats in the manufacture of the modified bitumen sheets and reduce distortions that may be introduced during production. Glass yarns are typically a small percentage of the reinforcement and do not contribute to the physical properties of the finished product so much as to make these products meet the requirements of Specification D6162/D6162M.
1.3This specification is intended as a material specification only. Issues regarding the suitability of the specific roof constructions or application techniques are beyond this scope.
1.4The specified tests and property limits used to characterize the sheet materials are intended to establish minimum properties. In-place roof system design criteria, such as fire resistance, field strength, impact/puncture resistance, material compatibility, uplift resistance, and others, are factors beyond the scope of this material specification.
1.5The values stated in either SI units or inch-pound units are to be regarded separately as standard. The values stated in each system may not be exact equivalents; therefore, each system shall be used independently of the other. Combining values from the two systems may result in nonconformance with the standard.
1.6This international standard was developed in accordance with internationally recognized principles on standardization established in the Decision on Principles for the Development of International Standards, Guides and Recommendations issued by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) Committee.
