Base and Ply Sheets

StressBase® 80/120 Base Sheet

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

StressBase sheets are high-strength, puncture, and fatigue-resistant, rubber-modified roofing membranes that consist of fiberglass reinforcement sandwiched by Styrene-Butadiene-Styrene (SBS) rubber in a high penetration index asphalt mixture. StressBase sheets can be used as a nailable base sheet over approved substrates, as a base flashing for hot- and cold-applied roof systems, or as an interply in Garland's hot or cold-applied systems. StressBase is typically used in two (2) or three (3) ply modified systems and also can be used in three (3) or four (4) ply BUR's.

Advanced Rubber Technology

The modifier utilized in StressBase sheets is SBS (Styrene-Butadiene-Styrene). When the SBS rubber 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.

High Strength

The StressBase membranes are reinforced with fiberglass. The high strength of fiberglass scrim resists the movement created by today's modern buildings. In addition, the fiberglass scrim in StressBase membranes provides adequate tensile strength in the machine and cross-machine direction. This translates to long-term resistance to splits and tears in the modified roof system.

Security in Multi-Ply Construction

StressBase sheets are the base component of a multi-ply roof system. They combine the inherent advantages and proven performance of multi-ply protection with the strength, flexibility, and elongation of elastomeric systems. This unique combination minimizes dependence on perfect workmanship, contact adhesive seaming, etc.
