1.1 GENERAL CONSIDERATIONS
• Remove all roll packaging tape prior to
installation.
• Store rolls on end and maintain in an upright
position to prevent damage. Store rolls in a
clean, dry location and cover as necessary to
protect rolls from environmental damage such as
extreme cold, heat, or moisture.
• Refer to the PDS, SDS and detailed drawings
for additional information.
1.2 MECHANICALLY FASTENED BASE of side laps. Align intermediate rows of fasteners
SHEETS / ANCHOR SHEETS
Preparation:
• Ensure all substrates are smooth, free of dust
and debris, dry and acceptable for installation of
base sheets/anchor sheets.
• Ensure environmental conditions are
satisfactory, and will remain satisfactory, during
the application.
Application:
• Unroll the sheet onto the roof surface and
allow time for the sheet to relax prior to installing
fasteners.
13
• Starting at the low point of the roof, lay out
the membrane to ensure all plies are installed
perpendicular to the roof slope, shingled to
prevent back water laps.
• Cut sheets to working lengths and widths as
required to conform to rooftop conditions.
• Align side laps to produce the consistent
overlap required for attachment to meet wind
uplift approvals.
• As uniform tension is applied, start fastening at
the center of the sheet and work towards the end-
laps. Remove wrinkles and buckles as fastening
progresses.
• Install specified fasteners along the center line
staggered between side-laps. Fasten all end-laps.
Fasten sheet as required for specified wind uplift
resistance. Install additional fasteners in roof

 1.3 HOT ASPHALT APPLIED BASE SHEETS
AND PLY SHEETS
General Considerations:
• Ensure environmental conditions are
acceptable to proceed. Monitor precipitation,
temperature, humidity, wind, cloud cover and sun
that may have an effect on materials and roofing
application.
• Conditions should remain dry, and the ambient
temperature should be well above the dew point
at all times during roofing application.
• Ensure environmental conditions are
satisfactory, and will remain satisfactory, during
the application.
• Temporary night seals are required to seal
membrane and flashing terminations watertight.
Temporary night seals should be removed upon
resuming the installation.
Preparation:
• The following are recommended during cold
weather:
- The ambient temperature should be is 3/4:12. Contact SOPREMA for back-nailing
at least 40°F (4°C), and rising to ensure
conditions remain acceptable to apply hot
asphalt and membrane plies.
- Take all necessary measures and monitor
15
all conditions, to ensure the specified
asphalt temperature is no less than the
equiviscous temperature (EVT) at the
point of contact with the specified
membrane as it is unrolled into the hot
asphalt.
- Store rolls in a heated area to maintain
the rolls at 70°F (21°C) during cold
weather.
• Ensure all substrates are smooth, free of dust
and debris, dry and acceptable for installation of
base sheets/anchor sheets. Ensure substrates
are even at all transitions to prevent membrane
voids. Ensure substrates are primed where
required using ELASTOCOL 350 or ELASTOCOL
500 primer.
• Refer to mopping asphalt supplier’s published
values for softening point, flash point (FP),
BASE SHEETS / ANCHOR SHEETS
finished blowing temperature (FBT) and
equiviscous temperature (EVT).
• Refer to the softening point for maximum roof
slope applications. The maximum recommended
roof slope for asphalt applied built-up roofing
requirements for roof slopes that exceed 3/4:12.

 Application: • TWO (2) PLY BUILT-UP ROOFING APPLICATION

• Starting at the low point of the roof, lay out

the membrane to ensure the plies are installed
perpendicular to the roof slope, shingled to
prevent back-water laps.
• Apply mopping asphalt within +/- 25°F (14°C)
of the published EVT and as required to obtain a
nominal 23 to 25 pounds (10 to 11 kg) per square

• Avoid walking over the membrane during
application to prevent displacing asphalt between
plies. Allow the asphalt to cool sufficiently before
walking over the new membrane.
• Where completed built-up membrane or vapor
retarder is to be left exposed during construction,
apply a thin squeegee coat of hot asphalt over the
membrane surface to seal the surface watertight.

2.1 GENERAL CONSIDERATIONS
• Remove all roll packaging tape prior to
installation.
• Primers should be stored in a dry, protected
storage area between 40°F (4°C) and 105°F
(41°C) and away from direct sunlight. Store
primers away from excessive heat and open
flames. Prevent rupturing the containers, or
breaking the sealed lids prior to use when
handling. Refer to the PDS and SDS for additional
information.
• The underside of heat welded SBS membrane
plies have a plastic burn-off film to optimize heat
welding operations.
• Refer to NRCA CERTA, local codes and building
owner’s requirements for hot work operations.
• Where the applicator deems conditions are
unsafe to use open flames, SOPREMA alternate
membrane application methods should be used
to install SBS modified bitumen membranes
and flashings. Acceptable alternate installation
methods include self-adhesive membranes,
mechanically fastened plies, cold adhesive
applied and hot asphalt applied plies.
21
• Temporary night seals are required to seal
membrane and flashing terminations watertight.
Temporary night seals should be removed upon
resuming the installation.
• Do not apply direct flames from roof torches to
combustible materials such as insulation, wood
and paper-faced materials. Seal all joints and
penetrations using self-adhesive modified bitumen
membrane plies or other acceptable methods.
2.2 HEAT WELDED, COLD ADHESIVE
APPLIED AND HOT ASPHALT APPLIED
SBS MEMBRANES
Preparation:
• Ensure all substrates are clean and dry.
Conduct adhesion/peel tests by applying primer
and membrane where necessary to ensure
satisfactory adhesion is achieved.
Application:
• Apply ELASTOCOL 500 or ELASTOCOL 350
primer using brush, roller, or sprayer at 1 gallon
per 100 square feet (4L/9m²). Lightly prime for
SBS MEMBRANES
a uniform coverage. Do not apply heavy or thick
coats of primer.
• Apply ELASTOCOL 500 or ELASTOCOL 350
primer to clean, dry masonry, metal, wood and
22
 other compatible substrates before applying hot
asphalt and heat welded membrane and flashing
plies.
• ELASTOCOL 350 or ELASTOCOL 500 is
optional for SBS membranes adhered using
COLPLY Adhesive, COLPLY Flashing Cement,
COLPLY Modified Adhesive and COLPLY Modified
Flashing Cement. Primer is not recommended
for SBS membranes adhered using COLPLY EF
Adhesive or COLPLY EF Flashing Cement.
Inspection:
• Examine the primed areas before installing the
SBS membrane and flashings.
• Ensure primer is fully dry before applying SBS
membranes. Primer should not transfer to the
finger tips when touched. Apply membrane within
24 hours of primer application, if primer becomes
contaminated re-priming may be required.
• Adjust primer and membrane application
methods as necessary to achieve the desired
results.

 • While unrolling and heating the sheet,
ensure approximately 1/4 to 1/2 inch (6 mm to 13
mm) of hot bitumen flows ahead of the roll, and
there is 1/8 to 1/4 (3 mm to 6 mm) in bleed out
at all laps. Ensure all side-laps are fully adhered
and sealed watertight.
• Adjust application methods to accommodate
varying environmental conditions as necessary to
achieve the desired results.
• For gypsum and other substrates subject to
potential damage, apply heat high on the roll to
prevent overheating or damaging the substrate.
• At the 6 inch (152 mm) end laps ensure a fully
adhered watertight seal. Melt the plastic burn-
off film or embed granules and remove other
membrane surfacing, where present, using a
torch or hot-air welder.
• At end-laps where T-Joints exist, cut a 45°
dog-ear away from the selvage edge, or
27
otherwise ensure the membrane is fully heat
welded watertight at the T-joints.
• Prevent cap ply laps from aligning with base
ply laps. Offset cap sheet side laps and end laps
away from the base ply laps so that cap sheet
laps are not located within 12 inch (305 mm) of
base ply laps.
Inspection:
• Each day, physically inspect all side and
end laps, and ensure the membrane is sealed
watertight.
• Where necessary, use a torch or hot-air welder
and a clean trowel to ensure all laps are fully
sealed.
• Inspect the installation each day to ensure the

required working lengths to accommodate the
flashing height, cants and the required over-lap
onto the horizontal roof surface.
• Cut the flashing membrane from the end of the
roll in order to always install flashings to the side
lap line or selvage edge line.
• Install noncombustible cant strips at
transitions where required. Cants may be omitted
where specified and where SOPREMA flashing
plies meet the following requirements:
31
- Flashing base ply: Heat welded,
polyester reinforced.
- Flashing cap sheet: Heat welded,
polyester reinforced granule surfaced

flashing cap sheet.
• Ensure correct membrane and flashing
sequencing to achieve redundant, multi-ply,
watertight flashings.
- Before installing flashings, extend
the membrane base ply up from the
horizontal field of the roof to the top
of the cant (if used), at all vertical roof
terminations, transitions and
penetrations.
- Install the flashing base ply starting
at the top leading edge of the vertical
flashing substrate, down over the cant
and onto the horizontal surface of the
roof a minimum of 3 inches (76 mm)
beyond the wall/curb or base of the cant
(if used) onto the horizontal roof surface.

 2.3.3 PARTIALLY ADHERED, HEAT WELDED
BASE PLY
General:
• The partially adhered, heat welded SBS-
modified bitumen base ply consists of ribbons
of SBS-modified bitumen adhesive separated
by sanded venting channels on the underside of
the sheet. The sanded venting channels prevent
adhesion to the substrate. The un-adhered
sanded venting pattern allows vapor pressure
to dissipate to the atmosphere where venting
channels are open at flashing terminations.
Preparation:
• Ensure primer, where installed, is fully dry
before beginning heat-welding operations.
• Before installing partially adhered membrane
base ply, conduct “peel tests” to ensure
conditions are satisfactory to proceed.
- Cut a 6 foot (2 m) length of membrane
from a roll.
- Adhere the membrane sample to the
prepared substrate using the roof torch.
Leave a 6 inch (152 mm) “dry tail”
un-adhered.
- Ensure complete adhesion of the
adhesive strips is achieved. Allow the
39
membrane to cool to ambient
temperature.
- Once cooled, attempt to peel the
membrane from the substrate by pulling
upward on the 6 inch (152 mm) “dry tail.”
- Observe results and verify
conditions and installation methods will
result in proper adhesion.
Application:
• Unroll membrane sheets onto the roof surface
and allow time to relax prior to heat welding.
• Starting at the low point of the roof, lay out
the membrane to ensure the plies are installed
perpendicular to the roof slope, shingled to
prevent back water laps.
• Cut rolls to working lengths to conform to
roof conditions, and lay out to always work to a
selvage edge. In order to maintain the venting
pattern on the underside of the membrane, the
membrane may be butted at each end. Strip-in
the butted end laps using a fully-adhered heat

• As the membrane is unrolled, apply heat to the
underside of the membrane until the plastic

required to prevent lifting the sheet.
• Continuously move the roof torch side-to-side

• While unrolling and heating the membrane,
ensure the melted bitumen ribbons maintain
contact with the substrate as necessary to
adequately adhere the ribbons to the substrate.
• Adjust the application of heat as required for
varying substrates and environmental conditions.
• At membrane terminations, ensure the venting
pattern is maintained as required to continue the
venting pattern to adjacent flashing details.
• At all side-laps, ensure side-laps are heat-
welded across the full width, and there is
approximately 1/8 to 1/4 inch (3 to 6 mm)

3.1 GENERAL CONSIDERATIONS
• Primers should be stored in a dry, protected
storage area between 32°F (0°C) and 77°F (25°C),
and away from direct sunlight. Store primers
away from excessive heat, open flames or any
ignition sources. Refer to the PDS and SDS for
additional information.
• Ensure all substrates are sound, dry clean and
free of dust, debris, exposed asphalt primers,
adhesives, cements and mastics. Ensure
substrates are properly prepared in accordance
with specific installation instructions for ALSAN
RS.
• Refer to ALSAN detail drawings, product
data sheets, SDS and published guidelines for
additional installation requirements.
• Ensure environmental conditions are
acceptable to proceed. Monitor precipitation,
temperature, humidity, wind, cloud cover and sun
that may have an effect on materials and roofing
application.
• Conditions should remain dry, and the ambient
temperature should be well above the dew point
at all times during roofing application.

are encouraged for concrete, masonry and for
other substrates where surface conditions may
vary.
• Remove foil/film surfacing prior to installing
the ALSAN Flashing roof system flashings on
SOPRASTAR and SOPRALAST cap sheets.
Application:
• Pre-cut the ALSAN Polyfleece reinforcement
to conform to roof terminations, transitions and
penetrations. Cut reinforcement to ensure a
minimum 2 inch (51 mm) overlap of fleece at
side laps and end laps. Ensure the liquid applied
flashing membrane is fully reinforced.
• Ensure ALSAN Polyfleece extends a minimum
of 4 inches (102 mm) vertically and 8 inches (203
mm) horizontally at roof terminations, transitions
and penetrations.
• Use a paint stir stick to thoroughly stir the pail
ALSAN Flashing prior to application.
• Apply the base coat of ALSAN Flashing
resin onto the substrate using a brush or
roller, working the material into the surface for
complete coverage and full adhesion. Apply the
base coat at 2 gallons (8L) per square.
• Immediately apply ALSAN Polyfleece
149
reinforcing fabric into the wet base coat of resin.
Using a brush or roller, work the ALSAN
Polyfleece into the wet resin while applying
the second coat of ALSAN Flashing resin also
at 2 gallons (8 L) per square to completely
encapsulate the fleece. Extend the ALSAN
Flashing resin a minimum of 1 inch (25 mm)
beyond the reinforcement.
• Allow the liquid membrane to sufficiently
cure for 24 to 48 hours then apply the finish coat
of ALSAN Flashing resin at 2 gallons (8 L) per
square.
• Optional Surfacing:
- Where specified, broadcast mineral
granules into the wet ALSAN Flashing
finish coat to match the adjacent cap
sheet.
- Apply granules to refusal.
LIQUID APPLIED FLASHINGS
- Allow 24 to 48 hours to cure, then
remove loose granules.
• The total application rate of ALSAN Flashing
resin is approximately 6 gallons (23 L) per square.

PREPARATION FOR END-LAPS
General:
• Foil/Film surfaced cap sheets must be
prepared at end-laps and other overlapping areas
with adjacent cap sheets.
Preparation:
• Using a knife blade, score the foil/film
surfacing at the end lap mark. Ensure the SBS
reinforcement is not cut.

• Measure and mark a minimum 6 inch (152

mm) end lap on previously installed foil/film-
surfaced cap sheet.

• Using a torch or heat welder, preheat a

round-nose trowel and insert under the foil/film

 4.4 SBS LOW-PROFILE EXPANSION JOINTS
General:
• SOPRAJOINT is a polyester reinforced SBS-
modified bitumen expansion joint membrane used
for low profile expansion joint applications.
Preparation:
• Ensure all roofing and flashing substrates
are prepared and acceptable to receive the heat
welded SOPRAJOINT.
• Ensure expansion joint gap does not exceed 2
inches (51 mm) in width and has a movement of
5/8 inch (16 mm) or less.
• Remove all roll packaging tape prior to
installation.
Application:
• Cut SOPRAJOINT to working lengths to
conform to rooftop conditions.
• Slit previously installed SBS base ply(s) at
expansion joint and install insulation materials in
expansion joint gap as specified by the Designer.
• Loose lay 8 inch (203 mm) wide mineral wool
separator centered over the expansion joint gap.
• Align the SOPRAJOINT roll centered over the
expansion joint gap and reroll.
183
• Direct roof torch on the SOPRAJOINT
membrane roll as necessary to prevent
overheating and damaging the membrane
and substrates. As the membrane is unrolled,
apply heat to the underside of the membrane.
Continuously move the torch side-to-side across
the underside of the roll to melt the bitumen on
the underside of the sheet, while continuously
unrolling membrane.
• While unrolling and heating the sheet, ensure
approximately 1/4 to 1/2 inch (6 to 13 mm) of hot
bitumen flows ahead of the roll as it is unrolled,
and there is 1/8 to 1/4 inch (3 to 6 mm) bleed out
at all laps.
• Adjust the application of heat to the underside
of the membrane and to substrate as required for
varying substrates and environmental conditions.
• Once the SOPRAJOINT has cooled, remove
the paper release film from the top of the
SOPRAJOINT.
• Install the cap sheet in the field of the roof and
extend onto the sides of the SOPRAJOINT up to

the aluminum-clad bond breaker.
• Loose lay a separator sheet the width of
the SOPRAJOINT directly over the installed
SOPRAJOINT and cap sheet end laps.
