Firestone is committed to advancing roofing technology, and has invested millions into innovating new roofing solutions. Our state-of-the-art technical center in Fishers, IN is the operations center for the chemists, engineers and technicians who develop and test the latest roofing advancements, including SBS (styrene-butadiene-styrene) Modified Bitumen and APP (atactic polypropylene) products.

Firestone SBS Modified Bitumen Roofing Systems use new technology to significantly strengthen and extend traditional asphalt roofing, resulting in stronger, better performing roofs.

Firestone APP Modified Bitumen Roofing Systems feature a granule surface that provides higher resistance to wear for a longer lasting, water-resistant roof.

Firestone Modified Bitumen Roofing Systems are available in a variety of installation methods to best suit your application, including heat welding, hot asphalt and cold-applied adhesive.

SUpERIoR coMpoUND FoRMULATIoN Setting us apart from conventional asphalt technology, Firestone has developed a proprietary blend of SBS polymers combined with select grades of refined asphalt for a durable, flexible and exceptionally strong product. Its elongation properties and cold temperature flexibility allow Firestone SBS Modified Bitumen Roofing Systems to resist thermal and structural movement—with flexibility even in temperatures below 0°F.

INNovATIvE REINFoRcEMENT TEchNoLogy At the core of Firestone SBS Modified Bitumen Roofing Systems is a high-quality single reinforcing fabric that embeds glass filaments in a non-woven polyester mat. This fabric provides superior resistance to punctures, while the filaments add dimensional stability and tear strength.

Firestone’s SBS and APP Cap Sheets are made with a glass reinforced polyester non woven mat, used in a variety of SBS & APP Membrane systems including:

• SBS flashing for traditional BUR systems

• SBS cap sheets and flashing for hybrid BUR systems

• SBS base sheets, cap sheets and flashings for 2-ply modified bitumen systems

An extensive line of modified bitumen products with proprietary blends of SBS rubber and asphalt allows designers to select the right combination of base and cap plies, achieving the optimal strength and flexibility for each roof.

I n t r o d u c t i o n t o M o d i f i e d B i t u m e n R o o f i n g

Our glass-reinforced polyester is not a laminated or dual-carrier mat—it’s a true single fabric produced in one integrated manufacturing process. And it can be applied with

any method, whether heat fusion, hot asphalt or a cold-applied adhesive.

One FaBric, One prOcess

Firestone glass-reinforced polyester resists low displacement strain from thermal stress and internal tension.

Continuous glass fibers provide strength and stability

Non-woven polyester provides flexibility and puncture resistance.

Firestone glass-reinforced polyester accomodates high displacement strain from structural movement and point loading.

Why cooL RooFS MATTER. Firestone’s modified bitumen membranes with UltraWhite granules provide greater light reflectivity and heat emissivity, which means the roof stays cooler, with lower building energy consumptions and reduced demand for electricity during peak periods. Reflective roofs using Firestone UltraWhite granules can also reduce the “heat island effect” that occurs when developed urban areas have significantly higher average temperatures than the rural areas surrounding them.
