APP 160 Cool is a torch-applied modified bitumen cap sheet used as the finish ply of a low-slope built-up roof assembly. APP (atactic polypropylene) modifiers give the asphalt a plastic character that softens predictably under a torch flame and flows into a bond with the ply sheet or base sheet below, so the membrane is installed in a continuous, fully sealed field.

The sheet carries a factory-applied granule surface on the weathering face. On a "cool" designation the granules are light in colour, which reflects a portion of the solar energy striking the roof rather than absorbing it as a black surface does. The granules also shield the bitumen from ultraviolet exposure and give the finished roof a walkable, abrasion-resistant top surface.

It is supplied in rolls, selvage edge along one side for lapping, and is installed over a compatible base or ply sheet on a suitably prepared deck.

Key Features

• APP modified bitumen cap sheet for torch application
• Granule-surfaced weathering face in a light, reflective "cool" colour
• Granules protect the bitumen from ultraviolet degradation
• Selvage edge for lapping adjacent sheets into a continuous membrane
• Softens and flows under torch heat to bond to the substrate ply
• Supplied by the roll, sold by the unit

Applications

• Finish ply on low-slope and flat commercial roofs
• Multi-ply modified bitumen roof assemblies over a base or ply sheet
• Reroofing over prepared existing built-up roof surfaces
• Porch, deck and garage roofs with minimal slope
• Roof areas where a reflective surface is preferred over black bitumen
