Bitumen roll sheet

Bitumen roll sheet, also known as bitumen membrane roll, bituminous roofing sheet, or bitumen waterproofing sheet, is a high-performance waterproofing material used in foundations, roofs, basements, and wet areas. Produced using a mixture of bitumen 60/70 or blown bitumen and polymer modifiers (APP or SBS), these sheets offer excellent durability, flexibility, and water resistance.

HS Code

  • HS Code: 68071000 – Roofing and waterproofing materials made of asphalt or bitumen, in rolls or sheets.

Types of Bitumen Roll Sheet

Bitumen membranes are available in multiple configurations depending on application needs:

Roll Sheet Production Process

Bitumen sheets are manufactured by combining the following raw materials:

  • Base: Bitumen 60/70 or Blown Bitumen

  • Reinforcements: Polyester, Tissue, Aluminum Foil (14–16 microns)

  • Backing: Plastic Film, Talcum Powder, or Gunny

The production line involves the following steps:

  1. Feeding base material (tissue, polyester, and aluminum) into the mixer.

  2. Applying primer or molten bitumen.

  3. Passing the product through rollers and cooling via an 11-meter water pool.

  4. Automatic rolling, cutting, and stacking via elevator.

Production Line Specifications

  • Length: 35 meters

  • Width: 1.6 meters

  • Height: 5 meters

  • Cooling Length: 11 meters

  • Elevator Capacity: 30 meters (continuous feed)

Key Features of BITUMEN ROLL SHEET:

  • Modular design with easy assembly using nuts and bolts.

  • High-quality motors, gearboxes, and bearings.

  • Polished industrial seamless pipe rollers with double flanges.

  • Automatic rolling, cutting, and drying (with fin fan system).

  • Optional boiler connection for heating.

Applications of Bitumen Roof Sheet

Bitumen roll sheets are ideal for:

  • Roof Waterproofing

  • Foundation Insulation

  • Tunnel and Bridge Deck Protection

  • Basement and Underground Structures

  • Wet Areas like Bathrooms & Kitchens

Advantages of Bitumen Waterproofing Sheets

  • Long shelf life (up to 10 years in storage)

  • Easy to apply using heat (torch-on)

  • Strong adhesion to concrete, metal, and wood

  • Superior resistance to UV, aging, and weathering

  • Replaces traditional asphalt and gunny waterproofing

Evolution from Traditional to Modern Waterproofing

Before the advent of roll sheets, buildings relied on gunny bags, hot asphalt, and manual labor for sealing. The introduction of Bitumen roll sheets has revolutionized waterproofing, offering faster application, consistent quality, and long-term protection.

A bituminous membrane is a waterproofing material made from bitumen combined with polymers such as APP (Atactic Polypropylene) or SBS (Styrene-Butadiene-Styrene). It is commonly used in roofs, basements, foundations, tunnels, and wet areas to prevent water penetration and protect structures from moisture damage.

APP membranes offer excellent UV and heat resistance, making them ideal for hot climates and exposed roofs. SBS membranes provide superior flexibility and elasticity, making them suitable for areas with temperature variations or structural movement. Both are durable, but the right choice depends on climate and application.

es, bituminous membranes can be installed on a variety of surfaces including concrete, metal, wood, and brick. The surface must be clean, dry, and primed before application to ensure strong adhesion. For complex or irregular surfaces, self-adhesive or torch-applied membranes offer flexible installation options.
