Asphalt/Bituminous: The most-widely used type of roofing chemical
Asphalt/Bituminous roll roofing or membrane is a roofing material commonly used for buildings. The material is based on the same materials used in asphalt shingles. The asphalt/bituminous is the most-widely used type of roofing chemical. Asphalt has a proven track record of performance, with wide choice in top-surfacing, good insulation, reduced permanent deformation, reduced flushing, improved texture and longevity properties. Competitive cost, low crack formation, and flexibility are the main characteristics of asphalt roofing which drives the demand for asphalt. Asphalt roofings are also a part of fire, wind and hail resistant roof systems.
Bituminous Roofing: The largest application of roofing chemicals
Bituminous roofs are generally considered for their rigidness and long life. Bituminous roofs have the capability to last through the duration of any housing structure. They can be used with conventional shingles, which makes them suitable for quick installation. Bituminous mixed with rubber can also be used in roofing systems. The main reason for using bituminous rubber is that, it has significantly improved engineering properties over conventional grade bitumen.
