Bitumen roofing membranes
EcoPiren® is used in production of APP or SBS modified bitumen roofing membranes with
BroofT1, BroofT2 or BroofT3 fireproof properties.
EcoPiren® is a natural magnesium hydroxide obtained by separation and milling of brucite mineral; it is used as an effective flame retardant and smoke suppressant in bitumen roofing membranes.
EcoPiren® can be applied in APP and SBS modified bitumen roofing membranes optimizing the cost of the membrane, increasing productivity and reaching
the highest grades of fireproof classification.
EcoPiren advantages
01 High rate of polymer dissolution
in bitumen
02 Promotes high productivity and good processability due to its high decomposition temperature (up to 330° C)
03Absorbs more energy during the decomposition process than ATH, prevents burning droplets formation
04Halogen free, non-corrosive
and safe to handle
05 Effective flame retardant/smoke suppressant allows to produce BroofT3 fireproof grade
06 Naturally occurring and environmentally-friendly product
