EuroM Bridgeshield
EuroM Bridgeshieldis an APP (Atactic Polypropylene Plastomeric) type modified bitumen membrane, consisting
of a specially formulated bituminous compound of distilled asphalt modified with selected high grade viscoelastic
polymers and reinforced with a high quality non-woven 200g polyester carrier. EuroM Bridgeshield is coated
with either a sanded or granular top surface finish, while the bottom surface is embossed and protected by a
heat sensitive polythene film. This type of finish for the lower surface has been chosen for two specific purposes.
1. To act as a temperature gauge during application. When the film melts it shows that the compound is
at the correct temperature.
2. The embossing is to allow the gases to rapidly escape when heated to its correct installation temperature
avoiding possible problems of bubbling and blistering.
