app bitumen waterproofing membrane

If you need a waterproofing solution that performs well under intense sunlight and high temperatures, then APP bitumen membrane is the product for you. At BaseKim, we supply premium-grade APP membranes that provide strong, reliable, and long-lasting protection for your structures.

As construction continues to evolve, so do waterproofing technologies. That’s why APP membranes remain popular across the Middle East, Africa, and Asia — especially in hot weather conditions. Moreover, their ease of installation and resistance to UV make them a top choice for contractors and engineers.

What Is APP Bitumen Membrane?

APP stands for Atactic Polypropylene, a type of plastic that is blended into bitumen. This modification significantly improves the membrane’s durability, heat resistance, and aging properties.

Because of the added plastic, the bitumen membrane becomes tough and resistant to cracking. In addition, it softens only at very high temperatures — which is ideal for areas with long, hot summers.

Most APP membranes are torch-applied, forming a seamless, watertight layer once installed. As a result, they are commonly used on flat roofs, basements, and underground foundations.

Key Features of APP Bitumen Membrane

Choosing an APP membrane offers several advantages:

  • High temperature resistance (up to 130°C softening point)

  • Excellent UV and aging resistance

  • Strong waterproofing barrier

  • Easy to install with torch application

  • Available in multiple thicknesses and finishes

  • Low maintenance after application

While SBS membranes are flexible, APP membranes are known for toughness and thermal stability. That’s why they are especially recommended for hot and arid climates.

Where You Can Use APP Membranes

Thanks to their high durability, APP bitumen membranes are used in a wide range of projects. For example:

  • Flat and sloped roofs

  • Concrete decks and podiums

  • Basements and retaining walls

  • Water tanks and canals

  • Parking areas and ramps

Because they are tough and weather-resistant, APP membranes offer a strong solution for both residential and industrial construction.

Additionally, the membrane provides strong adhesion to most surfaces, including concrete, metal, and insulation boards.
