Construction and Materials
The Blueskin RF-200 is a high-performance roofing underlayment designed for use under various roofing materials. It serves as a critical component in a comprehensive weatherization system, providing superior protection against water intrusion and air leakage.
Construction and Materials:
- Self-Adhering Membrane: Blueskin RF-200 is a fully self-adhering waterproofing membrane. This means it utilizes an advanced adhesive layer that bonds directly to the roof deck without the need for torches, primers, or adhesives, creating a robust seal.
- Polyester Fabric Reinforcement: The membrane incorporates a tough, woven polyester fabric. This reinforcement provides exceptional tensile strength and dimensional stability, resisting tears and punctures during installation and throughout the life of the roof. It also helps the underlayment accommodate the expansion and contraction of the roof structure.
- Bitumen Blend: The core of the membrane is constructed from a proprietary blend of high-quality asphaltic bitumen. This blend is engineered to offer excellent waterproofing characteristics, ensuring that water is effectively shed and prevented from entering the building envelope.
- Silicone-Treated Release Liner: A silicone-treated release liner protects the adhesive layer during storage and transport. This liner is easily removed prior to installation, allowing for a clean and efficient application of the membrane.
Performance Characteristics:
- Waterproofing: The self-adhering nature and robust bitumen blend provide a watertight barrier, protecting the roof deck from rain, snow, and ice damming.
