Garlastic KM Plus is a proprietary high-grade SEBS (Styrene-Ethylene-Butylene-Styrene) modified roofing interply adhesive and waterproofing asphalt. It offers an exceptionally high softening point and a correspondingly high penetration index to ensure greater flexibility at low ambient temperatures compared to conventional roofing asphalts. This unusual combination of broad performance benefits provides a polymeric asphalt that is ideal for climates that experience extreme temperature fluctuations. One of the major benefits of Garlastic is its extended service life.

Method | Description |
---|---|
Hot-Applied | Garlastic functions as both the interply adhesive and underlayment in a wide variety of multi-ply BUR configurations with HPR Glasfelt, HPR Premium Glasfelt, and HPR Polyscrim. It can also be used as the interply adhesive for all Garland standard HPR modified membranes and can be applied as a protective flood coat for a standard BUR system. Garlastic is compatible with all hot-applied roofing products. |

Garlastic dramatically increases the tensile strength and elongation properties of the roofing membrane due to the inherent properties of the SEBS rubber.
The elasticity provided by the addition of rubber elastomers allows the system to respond more positively to roof stresses. This occurs over a wide range of surface temperatures while providing good waterproofing, puncture, abrasion, and UV resistance.
Its broad application temperature range ensures excellent bonding and durable seams.
