Learning Objectives:
- Cover the history and basic chemistry of modified bitumen blends.
- Differentiate among BUR, APP and SBS systems.
- Discuss the raw materials, wide range of options available and the criteria manufacturers use in the selection process of mod-bit systems.
- Recognize the benefits of mod-bit systems compared to other technologies in low-slope roofing.
