RUBEROID® SEBS
MODIFIED ASPHALT PLUS

Description
GAFMC RUBEROID® Modified Asphalt Plus is an SEBS Modified Asphalt that meets or exceeds requirements of ASTM D6152. RUBEROID Modified Asphalt Plus is used in the roofing industry as an elastomeric adhesive and waterproofing agent when mopping in - insulation, base sheets, interply sheets, cap sheets, and gravel. RUBEROID Modified Asphalt Plus is manufactured using heat and weather resistant SEBS polymer and formulated asphalts that provide greater elongation, elasticity, low temperature flexibility, and toughness, when compared to conventional oxidized roofing asphalt.

Advantages
RUBEROID Modified Asphalt Plus, when used with fiberglass or polyester sheets, produces a roofing system that greatly improves elongation, fatigue cracking resistance, tensile strength, low temperature flexibility, and puncture resistance, when compared to conventional Built-Up Roofing Systems using oxidized asphalt. RUBEROID Modified Asphalt Plus can be heated using a conventional roofing pump kettle and applied using standard handling and mopping techniques. For complete loading, handling and mopping instructions, contact the GAFMC Technical Service Hotline at 1-800-ROOF-411.

Uses
RUBEROID Modified Asphalt Plus is compatible with Built-Up Roofing and mop applied Modified Bitumen Systems.

Sizes
RUBEROID Modified Asphalt Plus is available in 60 lb. (27.2kg) (approx.) self release fiber kegs.

Application
RUBEROID Modified Asphalt Plus is designed to be used with GAFMC's GAFGLAS® products and systems as well as GAFMC's RUBEROID mop applied Modified Bitumen roofing materials.

WARNINGS
CAUTION: COMBUSTIBLE.
The container for GAFMC Roofing Asphalt is NOT intended for unprotected long-term storage. To assure asphalt usability and optimum storage duration, take the following precautions:

  • Protect containers from adverse weather conditions and prolonged exposure to sunlight.
  • Closed storage areas must have sufficient ventilation to avoid heat build-up
  • Store upright as asphalt will flow from tipped containers, the hotter the weather the quicker the flow
  • Store out of water. Do not stack cartons.
KEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN.
