Available with PE film, sand, or mineral surface finishes, it is suitable for roofing, basement, underground, and other building waterproofing applications. Standard specifications and OEM/ODM options are available. Contact Great Ocean for technical data and quotation.
Product Introduction
Great Ocean JY-APP Modified Bitumen Waterproofing Membrane is a torch-applied waterproofing sheet made with atactic polypropylene (APP) modified bitumen and reinforced with polyester felt or glass-fiber felt.
APP modification improves the heat resistance of the bitumen compound, making the membrane suitable for roofing and other building waterproofing applications where good high-temperature performance is required.
PE film, sand and mineral surface finishes are available. Reinforcement and surface configurations can be selected according to project requirements.

Product Features
Good Heat Resistance
APP modification improves the heat resistance of the bitumen compound, helping the membrane maintain stable performance in warm and high-temperature environments.
Reinforced Structure
Polyester felt or glass-fiber felt reinforcement options are available for different waterproofing applications.
Multiple Surface Options
PE film, sand and mineral finishes are available to meet different installation and project requirements.
Verified Waterproofing Performance
A tested 3 mm APP Type I membrane achieved no water penetration at 0.3 MPa for 30 minutes.
Torch-Applied System
Designed for conventional torch application on properly prepared substrates.
Specification Flexibility
Different thicknesses, reinforcement types and surface finishes are available according to project requirements.
Third-Party Tested Performance
A JY-APP Type I waterproofing membrane with polyester reinforcement and PE film surface configuration (APP I / PY / PE-PE / 3 mm) was tested by the Shandong Institute for Product Quality Inspection according to GB 18243-2008.

APP vs SBS Modified Bitumen Membrane
APP and SBS are both modified-bitumen waterproofing membrane systems, but the modifiers give them different performance characteristics. Product selection should be based on project design, climate and required technical performance.
| Comparison | APP Modified Bitumen | SBS Modified Bitumen |
|---|---|---|
| Modifier | Atactic Polypropylene (APP) | Styrene-Butadiene-Styrene (SBS) |
| General Characteristic | Good high-temperature resistance | Good elasticity and low-temperature flexibility |
| Selection Consideration | Often selected where heat resistance is important | Often selected where lower-temperature flexibility is important |
| Installation | Torch-applied configurations available | Torch-applied configurations available |
