Introduction
Base mats are critical in the manufacturing process of waterproofing materials because they serve as the structure onto which high-performance membranes are mounted. As with any SBS/APP modified bitumen membrane or asphalt shingle, base mat selection will influence the water permeation, flexibility, and durability of the product.
1. What is a Base Mat?
A Base Mat serves as a reinforcing layer in waterproofing materials production. It is made of nonwoven polyester, fiberglass mesh, or a combination of both. These mats provide excellent adhesion as well as dimensional stability and mechanical strengths.
2. Types of Base Mats Commonly Used
-
Polyester Mat:
Strong tensile strength and good elongation properties. Ideal for SBS modified membranes that require flexibility. -
Fiberglass Mat:
Fire-resistant, low thermal shrinkage, and excellent dimensional stability. Common in APP modified membranes. -
Compound Base Mat (e.g., 7×7 or 8×8):
Combines polyester nonwoven and fiberglass mesh to balance strength and flexibility. Widely used in premium waterproofing materials.
3. Key Advantages
-
High Mechanical Strength:
Ensures the waterproof membrane remains intact even under stress. -
Stable Dimensional Properties:
Prevents deformation during high-temperature applications and aging. -
Strong Compatibility:
Excellent bonding with bitumen and other waterproofing compounds. -
Customizable Width and Weight:
Suitable for different production lines and performance requirements.
4. Applications in Waterproofing Materials
-
SBS/APP Modified Bitumen Membranes
-
Asphalt Shingles
-
Self-Adhesive Waterproof Membranes
-
Roofing Rolls and Underlays
These materials are widely applied in commercial roofing, tunnel insulation, basement protection, and bridge decks.
5. Why the Right Base Mat Matters
Using the right base mat effectively optimizes the final membrane’s durability, waterproofing capabilities, and weatherproof performance. This ensures that production defects are minimized while providing protection in harsh conditions for a long time.
