FiberTite® 36 Mil Membrane

Desription

36 mil FiberTite is a 30-oz sq. yd/nominal 36-mil (0.9 mm) thick

membrane and was used as the benchmark membrane for the

development of ASTM D 6754-15 Standard Specification for

Ketone Ethylene Ester (KEE) Based Sheet Roofing. In addition

to exceeding the ASTM minimum standards, 36 mil FiberTite

meets or exceeds the physical properties and performance

characteristics of most competitive 60-mil membranes.

Seaman Corporation is vertically integrated, which allows

complete control over the manufacturing process from the

selection of the yarns, to the engineering, knitting and weaving

of the base fabrics to the final coating process. Today, FiberTite

Roofing Membranes are the result of Seaman Corporation’s 60

years of applied fabric engineering and coating technology.

All FiberTite Roofing Membranes are constructed using

high tenacity/heavy weight yarns to create a base fabric

reinforcement to impart superior puncture, tensile and tear

resistance properties. The base polyester fabrics are primed with

a unique and proprietary adhesive coat that lays the foundation

to physically bond the KEE coatings to the “fiber” to maximize

seam strength and overall membrane performance.

36 mil FiberTite is coated face and back with Seaman

Corporation’s original “KEE” formulation to provide superior

hot air welding characteristics, extreme UV resistance, broad

chemical resistance and long-term flexibility and reparability

for the installed roofing membrane system. Additionally, 36 mil

FiberTite exhibits superior tear, puncture, fungus, algae and

flame resistance that make FiberTite Roofing Systems some of

the most sustainable roofing systems available.

36 mil FiberTite membrane is manufactured in conventional 74-

in and 100-in wide by 100-ft roll goods. 36 mil FiberTite is also

available in customized prefabricated roll widths and lengths

that incorporate integrated fastening tabs, sealing tabs and also

“no-tab” rolls of membrane up to 20-ft wide by 100-ft in length.

Field seaming of the membrane is accomplished by fusing the

thermoplastic membrane with conventional hot air welding

equipment.

Application

36 mil FiberTite Roofing Systems carry extensive FM Global
and Underwriters Laboratories approvals. 36 mil FiberTite
Roofing Systems can be installed by mechanically fastening the
membrane with FiberTite Magnum Fasteners and Stress Plates
or adhering the membrane in FTR 190e bonding adhesive to preapproved substrates. 36 mil FiberTite can also be installed in
typical ballast configurations using conventional stone or paver
ballast.

Systems.
