DurabilityDerbigum has a high softening point ensuring stability of the membrane in the hottest weather, high tensile strength and excellent puncture resistance. Derbigum can be installed without any surfacing, regardless of the method of application due to the unique blend of polymers which make Derbigum resistant to UV degradation.

PerformanceDerbigum is a range of dual-reinforced, APP (Atactic Polypropylene) modified bitumen, high performance roofing and waterproofing membranes with a life expectancy of 30-35 years according to independent assessment. Enhanced performance properties include low temperature flexibility, excellent fire ratings, stronger reinforcement and ease of application.

DerbigumTwo Layer Torch-Applied Bituminous Overlay

Application1. Prepare the existing roofing system to receive the new waterproofing as

necessary. Ensure that the roof is clean and dry and free from dust and debris.

2. Prime the existing waterproofing and upstands with Alumasc Bitumen Primer and allow to fully dry.

3. Install Hi-Ten Universal underlay, fully bonded by torch application, with 100mm side and 150mm end laps.

4. Install Derbigum Black (or Mineral) Cap Sheet, fully bonded by torch application. Joints to be staggered with underlay.

5. Note: Pre-cut the lower corner of the end of each roll at 45º where it will be overlapped by the end lap of the next roll.

6. Seal side laps (100mm) end laps (150mm) with a shoe burner torch. All laps must be pressure rolled with a 15kg long handled roller. A small (approx 5-10mm) continuous bead of compound must always visible at the joint.

7. All detail work to be executed in two layers, the first layer being Hi-Ten Universal, followed by the cap sheet of Derbigum, both fully bonded by torching. At all upstands install a 100 x 100mm reinforcement strip of Derbigum Black into the angle. The main sheet area must overlap onto the reinforcing strip by the full 100mm. Install a final flashing piece of Derbigum, fully bonded to the upstand and overlapping onto the main horizontal sheet area by a minimum of 100mm.
