CIKOseal APP
Bituminous Waterproofing Membrane
Description Characteristics
CIKOseal APP is a torch applied bituminous Bituminous compound
waterproofing membrane manufactured from  Single component system.
distilled bitumen modified with thermoplastic resins  Good high and low temperature resistance
(APP, IPP). The membrane is reinforced by anon-  Resistant to ultraviolet rays
woven polyester. The polyester gives the
 Absolute water tightness
membrane excellent mechanical properties allows
for high tensile, elongation and tear strength. Both  Good resistance to acids and alkalis
surfaces of the membrane are protected by a plastic Non-woven polyester
film easily torched.  Resistant to static loading
 Good tensile strength and elongation
 Tear and wear resistant
