TorchSafe T.A.Thermically Activated waterproofing systems

TorchSafe is a range of thermically activated products designed to give you the technology you need to complete a quality roof system quickly, making big energy savings and keeping the entire roof structure safe from fire.

With an advanced reinforced membrane structure and a unique in-built water vapour release feature to help maintain roof integrity in today’s flexible building structures, TorchSafe waterproofing systems have proven their performance in all kinds of roofing applications time and time again and have a life expectancy in excess of 20 years.

Features and Benefits

• Unique grooves system• Self-adhesive side laps protect

the insulation during installation• Technically advanced low

heat-reactive bitumen• Thermically Activated membranes

to protect combustible surfaces from naked flames

• Exceptional bond strength• Reduced energy consumption• TorchSafe requires 50% less

torching• Striped resinous profiles release

water vapour to help eliminate blistering and prolong roof life

• A range of capsheets available• Choice of colours• BBA approval (cert No 09/4645)

TorchSafe T.A. systems are suitable for new build or refurbishment projects and offer the durability and flexibility of traditional reinforced built up bitumen waterproofing with the benefit of safer application and speed of installation. Utilising the latest development in bitumen technology, T.A. systems combine the use of self adhesive, hot air welding and solvent free adhesives to create flame free application methods to satisfy the most stringent site safety conditions.

Advanced TechnologyBuilt in EngineeringSelf Adhesive Bitumen - Roofing with SafetyThe development of Anderson Thermically Activated and self adhesive bitumen has been a significant development in bitumen membrane technology, allowing combustible and sensitive substrates and details to be covered “cold” keeping all surfaces free from fire risk during application.These innovative membranes are manufactured from dual compounds of proven SBS modified elastomeric bitumen to the upper surface combined with a high tack, low activation self-adhesive compounds to the lower surface.Anderson T.A. membranes meet the requirements of modern construction and provide safe, fast and versatile installation methods.

Benefits• Excellent adhesion to all surfaces including plywood, OSB,

metal, concrete & Thermal Insulation.• High peel strength and pull off values to meet wind uplift

requirement.• Fully waterproof and safe overlaps• Improved granule adhesion

• Long lasting and durable due to reduced heat required during installation

• Improved installation times, roof is watertight quicker.

GroovesIcopal patented groove technology was introduced in 1993.Used in conjunction with specially formulated low-melt resin blends only a minimal heat application is required to activate the unique adhesive properties of the membrane, as the heat is channelled quickly along the grooves and disperses rapidly along the roll. This form of application ensures maximum adhesion between layers with the minimum use of energy, providing an instant 100% secure bond.

The groove profile increases the surface area of the bitumen by 40% and contact of the film across the peaks allows it to disperse 30% faster.

The groove shape was further refined and optimised in 2000. This improved the liquefying of the welding bitumen with much reduced torching required.

FireSmartAnderson FireSmart Membranes offer the highest combination of waterproofing and fire resistance performance.FireSmart membranes were the first reinforced bitumen membranes to be approved by the Loss Prevention Certification Board (LPCB), whose standards are used by many Insurance Companies when assessing potential fire risks in buildings. FireSmart was also the first fire protection built up roofing system to be listed in the Red Book “List of Approved Fire and Security Products and Services”

FireSmart membranes have achieved the highest performance ratings when tested to European Standard EN1187: 1,2,3 &4 (BS 476: Part 3: 2004) and are BBA certified under certificate number 07/4409.

SFT Solvent Free TechnologySFT ADHESIVE is a single component, non toxic and solvent free bitumen membrane adhesive, specially formulated for use with T.A. systems. It provides watertight adhesion and complete bonding of details including endlaps and upstands.

SFT ADHESIVE is a blend of proprietary solvent free polymers and modifiers, engineered to cure completely in a wide variety of ambient conditions on various substrates

NoxiteNoxite® is one of Icopal’s biggest innovations of the past few years. Noxite® roofing membranes purify harmful NOx particles effectively from the air, converting harmful NOx into harmless nitrates that are washed off the roof in rainwater. It improves public health, and the environment, as the harmful pollutant is neutralised from the environment.

ValidationIn order to validate the performance of the Noxite® granules, used as part of the Eco-Activ® waterproofing system, Icopal commissioned the British Board of Agrément (BBA) to assess the test reports complied by three recognised independent testing bodies. (All reports are available upon request from Icopal Technical Services Department).

Striped membranes are a key component within the TorchSafe T.A. System build up. Positioned on the top surface of the T.A. Vapour Control Layer and the underside of the T.A. Underlay, the engineered stripe pattern is designed to dissipate any build up of moisture vapour pressure within the roof construction. Between the stripes is a fine quartz sand which creates a series of unbonded channels allowing any vapour pressure to move freely and not to develop into a blister which can happen when moisture vapour becomes trapped and concentrated in one area. The volume expansion of water from liquid to vapour state is very large (~1250 times), a minute amount of water in a small void can produce sufficient vapour pressure to force the void to grow into a blister. The presence of water is especially serious at high temperatures when the bitumen becomes soft and the pressure in the blister is high. This unique feature ensures the maximum performance and life expectancy and gives Anderson striped membranes significant advantages over other systems.

The Vapour Control Layer is the first layer of attachment to the substrate and represents a critical layer in any roof waterproofing system.Installation of the VCL is paramount to resist wind uplift forces and to keep the whole system attached to the structure with it’s primary function of preventing moisture vapour from within the building affecting the thermal insulation through condensation.

Choice of VCLAnderson TorchSafe systems offer two vapour control layers which are thermically activated allowing for secure attachment to the substrate, protection of the structure from flame and providing a suitable base for the installation of the thermal insulation.

Combustible SubstratesFor substrates such as plywood, and other combustible surfaces it is recommended that a TorchSafe T.A. vapour control layer is used.Specially formulated from self adhesive SBS modified bitumen formulations, the membranes are laid cold into a T.A. butyl activator which reacts with the bitumen to provide a secure initial bond to the substrate.

TorchSafe T.A. VCL StripesAn SBS modified bitumen VCL reinforced with extra strong glass fibre combined with PET aluminium core. It has a self adhesive underside with release film and an upper surface covered with thermically activated stripes. Full activation and bond strength to the substate is achieved by torch heating the stripes which then acts as the attachment method for the thermal Insulation.The upper surface is manufactured with a 75mm wide bitumen selvedge along one long edge finished with a release film allowing a safe watertight overlap to be formed.

TorchSafe T.A. VCL SandedAn SBS modified bitumen VCL reinforced with an extra strong glass fibre fleece combined with a PET aluminium core. It has a 75mm wide bitumen selvedge along one long edge finished with a release film allowing a safe watertight overlap to be formed and the fine granular sand upper surface allows the use of Icopal Insulation Adhesive, providing a completely cold method of protecting the combustible surfaces from nasked flames. Hot air can be used to increase surface temperature and ensure the correct level of attachment is achieved.
