Modified Bitumen

Modified Bitumen gives designers and installers an even broader array of options than BUR. MB may be installed by the torch-application method, “hot-mopped” like BUR, applied with “cold-process” adhesives or self-adhered. Modified Bitumen or "modbit" membranes consist of an asphalt and polymer blend, which allow the asphalt to take on characteristics of the polymer. There are several surfacing option for this system which include a factory applied mineral surface, a gravel surface laid in bitumen or a liquid applied coating that is typically reflective in nature.
