SikaShield® HB79 Tex 4 mm

Hybrid bituminous membrane surfaced with texflamina and flexible at -25 °C

SikaShield® HB79 Tex 4 mm is an SBS and APAO modified bituminous roof waterproofing membrane with a thickness of 4 mm. The upper layer is APAO modified, which provides good heat resistance, the under layer is SBS modified, increasing the elongation and cold flexibility properties. It is reinforced with a dimensionally stable composite inlay of a fiberglass matt compressed between two layers of non-woven spunbond polyester fabric and is flexible at -25 °C. The top surface is coated with texflamina, a propylene non-woven fleece.

  • Combines the advantages of APAO and SBS bitumen
  • Easy to install by torching method
  • Highly flexible in cold temperatures
  • Fully bonded
  • High durability
  • High heat resistance
