More about Historical: Fluid-applied Rubber Asphalt Roofing - 2015
Fluid applied rubber asphalt roofing is made from a variable mixture of asphalt modified with rubber polymers, filler, and additives. The asphalt is sold at room temperature in solid bricks or disks that are heated in a kettle at the job site until melted to a specific temperature. Workers then apply the hot liquid asphalt to the roofing substrate, which forms a seamless monolithic membrane that seals the roof. Depending on the roof design, stone or other layers can be added to form a built-up roof, or the asphalt layer could be the foundation for a living roof of plants. This CP describes the hot applied polymer-modified asphalt composition only.
