Base and Ply Sheets

FlexBase® Plus 80

  • Advanced Rubber Technology
  • Exceptional Strength
  • Security in Multi-Ply Construction

FlexBase Plus 80 is an 80-mil membrane with a fiberglass/polyester reinforcement sandwiched by Styrene-Butadiene-Styrene (SBS) in a high penetration index asphalt mixture. The result is a high strength, puncture, and fatigue-resistant rubber-modified base sheet designed for application as the interply waterproofing and reinforcement layer of a modified or built-up roof system. It provides long-term performance in all types of new or retrofit construction uses. FlexBase Plus 80 can be used as the initial underlayment for any Garland HPR® roof system, used in conjunction with Weatherking® and Green-Lock® for a cold-applied system or used with hot asphalt or Garlastic® as a multi-ply BUR. It can also be used as a base flashing or interply in Garland’s for hot- or cold-applied systems.

Advanced Rubber Technology

When the SBS rubber in the FlexBase Plus 80 sheet is properly dispersed throughout the high-penetration asphalt, the rubber provides increased thermal shock resistance, UV protection, heat resistance, elongation, and low-temperature flexibility. A special high-shear mixer is used in manufacturing to ensure proper dispersion.

Exceptional Strength

FlexBase Plus 80 Plus is reinforced with a fiberglass/polyester scrim. This unique scrim provides FlexBase Plus 80 with tensile strength in excess of 300 pounds per inch (53.57 k/m) in the machine and cross-machine direction. This superior strength provided by the fiberglass/polyester scrim resists the movement created by today's modern buildings. This translates to long-term resistance to splits and tears in the roof system.

Security in Multi-Ply Construction

FlexBase 80 Plus is the base component of a multi-ply roof system. It combines the inherent advantage and proven performance of multi-ply protection with the strength, flexibility, and elongation of elastomeric systems. This unique combination minimized dependence on perfect workmanship, contact adhesives seaming, etc.
