FiberTite® 36 Mil Membrane

Seaman Corporation’s 36 mil FiberTite membrane was introduced in 1979. Then, as now, the membrane features

an 18 x 19 / 840 x 1,000 denier weft reinforced polyester knit fabric, coated with a proprietary compound, utilizing

DuPont’s™ Elvaloy® Ketone Ethylene Ester (KEE) as the principle polymer in the hybrid vinyl alloy coating.

Specification
  • Desription

    36 mil FiberTite is a 30-oz sq. yd/nominal 36-mil (0.9 mm) thick

    membrane and was used as the benchmark membrane for the

    development of ASTM D 6754-15 Standard Specification for

    Ketone Ethylene Ester (KEE) Based Sheet Roofing. In addition

    to exceeding the ASTM minimum standards, 36 mil FiberTite

    meets or exceeds the physical properties and performance

    characteristics of most competitive 60-mil membranes.

    Seaman Corporation is vertically integrated, which allows

    complete control over the manufacturing process from the

    selection of the yarns, to the engineering, knitting and weaving

    of the base fabrics to the final coating process. Today, FiberTite

    Roofing Membranes are the result of Seaman Corporation’s 60

    years of applied fabric engineering and coating technology.

    All FiberTite Roofing Membranes are constructed using

    high tenacity/heavy weight yarns to create a base fabric

    reinforcement to impart superior puncture, tensile and tear

    resistance properties. The base polyester fabrics are primed with

    a unique and proprietary adhesive coat that lays the foundation

    to physically bond the KEE coatings to the “fiber” to maximize

    seam strength and overall membrane performance.

    36 mil FiberTite is coated face and back with Seaman

    Corporation’s original “KEE” formulation to provide superior

    hot air welding characteristics, extreme UV resistance, broad

    chemical resistance and long-term flexibility and reparability

    for the installed roofing membrane system. Additionally, 36 mil

    FiberTite exhibits superior tear, puncture, fungus, algae and

    flame resistance that make FiberTite Roofing Systems some of

    the most sustainable roofing systems available.

    36 mil FiberTite membrane is manufactured in conventional 74-

    in and 100-in wide by 100-ft roll goods. 36 mil FiberTite is also

    available in customized prefabricated roll widths and lengths

    that incorporate integrated fastening tabs, sealing tabs and also

    “no-tab” rolls of membrane up to 20-ft wide by 100-ft in length.

    Field seaming of the membrane is accomplished by fusing the

    thermoplastic membrane with conventional hot air welding

    equipment.

    Application

    36 mil FiberTite Roofing Systems carry extensive FM Global
    and Underwriters Laboratories approvals. 36 mil FiberTite
    Roofing Systems can be installed by mechanically fastening the
    membrane with FiberTite Magnum Fasteners and Stress Plates
    or adhering the membrane in FTR 190e bonding adhesive to preapproved substrates. 36 mil FiberTite can also be installed in
    typical ballast configurations using conventional stone or paver
    ballast.
    For specific installation recommendations and requirements,
    please consult the most current versions of Seaman Corporation’s
    Guide Specifications for the Installation of FiberTite Roofing
    Systems.
