Is your roofing company still installing built-up roofing (BUR)? Although this system has been around for over a hundred years and is a well-known trade, the roofing industry continues to innovate. Materials, techniques, regulations and so many other aspects of the trade are evolving to keep up with today’s technology and workforce. With that being said, BUR has remained relevant thanks in part to its inherent adaptability, but what more could we offer? Our polymer-modified product, ENDURAflex HT SEBS, is a prime example of how modern technologies have improved on a time-tested and trusted system.
Let’s discuss some of the many advantages that polymer modified asphalts bring to the equation.
Specifically, the “E” (Ethylene) molecule in SEBS is the key component that allows for superior UV resistance and overall thermal stability of the product. This UV resistance is the key to performance in extreme, hot environments with lots of sunshine. The thermal stability means that contractors can use the same equipment they always have. No expensive jacketed kettles to buy or maintain. Finally, this molecule also bonds with the Butylene component, giving the material its remarkable elasticity, ability to self-heal and resistance to hail damage. The material also exhibits outstanding low temperature flexibility and fracture resistance again reinforcing “greatly improved performance in the most extreme conditions.”
This exciting new product will be delivered in our 50-pound FastPack Box and packaged by the pallet with our heavy 6-mil heat shrink shrouds. This means that just like our regular oxidized asphalt, ENDURAflex HT will stand up to the rigors of your yard. These 50-pound parcels are easy to handle, easy to load into your kettles, are 100% recyclable, and will save your crews labor time which saves you money.
