The SBS Membrane That Comes in a Pail
You already know SBS modified bitumen as a waterproofing material. It’s the polymer that makes your roll membrane elastic — that stretches when the building moves, that stays flexible at sub-zero temperatures, that resists the thermal cycling from sun-up to sun-down on an exposed flat roof.
This coating is the same SBS chemistry — delivered differently. Instead of being coated onto a polyester mat and rolled up at the factory, it’s emulsified in water and sealed in a steel pail. You open the pail, stir it, and brush it on. It cures by water evaporation into a continuous elastic film with no seams.
The practical advantage of this format is geometry. A 1-meter-wide roll membrane handles rectangular areas well. It handles corners, penetrations, drains, and parapets with a knife, a torch, and a lot of patience. The liquid version doesn’t fight the shape — it flows into it. For flat roof refurbishment where the existing bitumen surface stays in place, for retaining wall damp-proofing where speed matters more than precision, for detail work that would be 90% cutting and 10% waterproofing with a roll — the pail is the right tool.
Two performance grades cover the climate range. L grade holds -15°C without cracking — suited for northern and high-altitude projects. H grade takes 110°C without flowing — suited for exposed roofs in hot regions. The trade-off is real: H grade sacrifices some low-temperature flexibility for heat resistance. Pick the grade that matches your climate, not the higher number.
The coating is manufactured to JC/T 408-2005. For international specification, equivalent ASTM test methods — D2939 for solids, D5147 for heat and cold performance, E96 for vapor transmission — are documented in the TDS. Your specifier can cross-reference without translation.
