APP modified bitumen felt has the potential to overcome such aspects and is being used. APP (Atactic Polypropylene) modified membranes with polyester reinforcement in different thickness were introduced some time ago, Special features of APP fibre glass reinforced membrane are: 8) Impermeabuny, 1) Resistance to ageing and weathering, ¢) Bonding with base, 4) High temperature stability, 16) Resisianes to impact and punature, and 9 Inthe formulation of this standard due weightage has been given to intemational coordination among the standards and practices prevailing indifferent countries in adciion to relating to the practices in te Tek inthis county. Jim thickness of 2 mm is suggested. And if more than ‘one layer is used for waterproofing a designated area, the minimum thickness can be mutually decided between the parties concemed, and this shall not be les than 1.5 mum for each ofthe layers.
