MERCURY FC General Membrane

MERCURY membranes employ a compound consisting of distilled bitumen modified with high a content of thermoplastic elastomers of the styrene-butadiene-styrene family (SBS) and their excellent quality is mainly highlighted by two indicators: cold flexibility (-20° C) and elasticity.

These two parameters positively affect both resistance to thermal ageing and resistance to cracking of the waterproofing surface, increasing the service life of the roofing system. Thanks to their high resistance to cracking MERCURY membranes are suitable for any climatic zone and for roof systems subjected to significant strains. The excellent cold flexibility guarantees ease of application, an important feature in areas characterized by harsh climates

Since this compound can be damaged by exposure to UV, it’s suggested to either apply mineral-protected finish MERCURY – or other UV resistant membranes – as upper layer or to use MERCURY membranes under ballast (concrete or gravel-covered pavement).
