ESHAPROOF APP -7 | Plastomeric bituminous membrane
APP plastomeric bituminous membranesDescription
ESHAPROOF is a polymer-modified bituminous membrane based on atactic polypropylene (APP), designed to provide reliable waterproofing and long-term protection in hot climatic conditions. With a softening point of ≥145°C and resistance to temperatures up to 120°C, it withstands intense sunlight without the bituminous mixture flowing, whilst maintaining its flexibility at -7°C. It is available in four reinforcement types with tensile strength ranging from 300 to 900 N/50 mm and in three coating families, with CE certification covering flat roofs, basements and bridge decks (EN 14695).
The ARGYNET View: Within ESHA’s APP trio, it is the balanced mid-range option — more cold-resistant than ESHADURO (-5°C) and more economical than ESHAGUM (-10°C). For typical Greek flat roofs exposed to intense sunlight but without extreme cold, it meets the requirement without incurring excessive costs.
Overview
Key Features
Resistance to weather and thermal conditions
- Very good resistance to ultraviolet (UV) radiation
- Increased resistance to ageing over time
- Softening point ≥145°C (EN 1427)
- Excellent resistance to high temperatures up to 120°C (EN 1110)
- Flexibility at low temperatures down to -7°C (EN 1109)
- Wide range of application and operating temperatures
- Good performance in corrosive environments: acids, inorganic salts, gases, pollution, ozone
Mechanical properties
- Tensile strength from 300/200 to 900/650 N/50 mm depending on the reinforcement (EN 12311-1)
- Elongation at break up to 45/55 per cent (Spun Bond SP)
- Tear strength up to 340/440 N (ASTM D4073-94)
- Resistance to static puncture up to class L3 (15–25 kg) (EN 12730)
- Resistance to dynamic puncture, class I3 (EN 12691)
- Dimensional stability from -0.1/+0.1% to -0.4/+0.3% (EN 1107-1)
Reinforcements — 4 options with different functions
- High-quality glass fibre mat — dimensional stability, the most cost-effective solution
- Non-woven polyester — balance of strength and cost for standard flat roofs
- Polyester fabric with embedded glass fibres — maximum stability during heat-sealing, prevents ‘banana-bending’
- Spunbond polyester (SP) — increased resistance to mechanical stress, cracking, puncture, shear and tensile forces
Coatings — 3 applications
- Mineral granules (green, white, brown-red) — protection of the waterproofing layer from solar radiation
- Thin polyethylene film — when the membrane is covered by tiles, concrete or gravel
- Woven polypropylene fabric — coated with acrylic waterproofing compounds (ESHACRYCOAT) or aluminium-asphalt (ESHALUMIN)
- Underlay: PE film or quartz sand
