There are several application techniques that can be used when the asphalt is installed by mopping. The modified bitumen sheet can be rolled, scrolled or flopped into the asphalt. Regardless of the application technique employed, the crucial factor is that the modified bitumen sheet make complete contact and embed in the hot asphalt. This can be accomplished by lightly brooming the modified bitumen sheet immediately after it has been installed. It is also good roofing practice to “scuff in” the side and end laps to assure that they are completely sealed. 1, record 2, English, - modified%20bitumen%20sheet

Feuilles de bitume modifié. Cette catégorie de feuilles est obtenue à partir de bitumes et de polymères modificateurs (caoutchoucs synthétiques ou matières plastiques) ainsi que de fillers et d’adhésifs aux propriétés particulières. Puisque le processus de fabrication consiste essentiellement à mélanger les éléments, la quantité d’agent modificateur peut être adaptée en fonction des caractéristiques désirées. Les deux agents modificateurs de bitume les plus utilisés sont le SBS (styrène-butadiène-styrène) et l’APP (polypropylène atactique). La teneur moyenne en SBS du composé varie entre 12 et 15 %. En général, une quantité supérieure de SBS entraîne une augmentation de la souplesse à basse température et de la résistance à la fatigue, une élévation du point de ramollissement et un élargissement de la plage des températures de service. 1, record 2, French, - feuille%20de%20bitume%20modifi%C3%A9

Record number: 6, Textual support number: 1 OBS
Waterproofing is a generic term that may be defined as the method of sealing off against free water and moisture, usually under hydrostatic pressure, all parts of a building. Dampproofing usually refers to the protection against moisture and may be distinguished from waterproofing in that it does not involve constant hydrostatic pressure. In other words, dampproofing only retards the passage of water, while waterproofing prevents it. 2, record 6, English, - dampproofing

Les expressions imperméabilisation et hydrofugation, bien que synonymes dans le sens de l’action de traiter une surface (mur de fondation, toiture) soumise à la pression d’un fluide sur l’une ou l’autre de ces faces, se distinguent dans la langue technique. En plus d’imperméabiliser, de rendre étanche une surface, l’hydrofugation traite plus spécifiquement des problèmes d’humidité, dans son sens strict. 4, record 6, French, - hydrofugation
