*Failure to comply with all particulars as outlined herein, shall be considered as reason for rejection of bid.

1.07 ADDITIONAL QUALITY ASSURANCE FOR ALL SBS/SIS MODIFIED ASPHALT

MEMBRANES A. In order to achieve the optimum performance characteristics essential to the

long-term performance of a low sloped roof system, the waterproofing membranes should be manufactured in a way that will assure that the desired performance criteria is achieved. Of particular importance in this regard is the method by which rubber compounds are disbursed throughout the membrane and the method by which the reinforcing scrim is introduced into the membrane.

B. Rubberized-Bituminous membranes have superior properties when compared to

non-rubberized-standard bituminous membranes. The rubberized bituminous membranes have superior flexibility and elongation ability. However, as the process of aging occurs, all bituminous membranes harden, including rubberized membranes, and their ability to flex and elongate is reduced. This aging process can quickly reduce the performance properties of membranes with low percentages of rubber content to below optimum performance requirements. This process occurs rapidly with SBS or SEBS levels of 12%-18%. A fail safe level of rubber at 22% minimum will provide the performance required for a full service of the membrane in excess of 30+ years. The 22% rubber content must be fully disbursed uniformly in the rubber-bitumen compound for the optimum performance to be achieved. Simply adding 22% rubber throughout the compound will not achieve the desired performance results over a 30 year life expectancy. The manufacturer of the membrane must have equipment capable of disbursing this high level of rubber into the compound. The SBS/SIS combination is the result of a technique which extends the life span of SBS base roofing membranes. Because of this a fail safe level of 16% minimum will provide the performance required for a full service life of the SBS/SIS membrane in excess of 30 years.

NOTE: The modified asphalt membrane specified for this roofing project is a combination SBS/SIS/ES blended membrane.

C. In order to achieve the optimum dispersion of rubber in the compound high

speed, high sheer disc mixers are required. These mixers generate sufficient frictional heat within the compound to thoroughly and uniformly disburse the rubber modifier throughout the compound. Conventional paddle mixers in typical



modified bitumen manufacturing processes are not capable of disbursing more than 12%-15% SBS, SEBS or SIS rubber on a uniform basis. Higher quantities or rubber become too viscous to be properly disbursed into the compound where paddle mixers are utilized.

D. Sample and Test Procedure: Proper rubber dispersion into the compound

should be verified by testing. Samples should be taken at the proposed completion time for blending on the batch sheet. An analysis of the material should be run for the blending criteria. Samples should be collected in small aluminum containers adequately sized for use under an ultra-violet microscope. Samples that contain high quantities of solvent should be dried in an air-circulated oven prior to analysis. If the product is already coated onto a scrim, the modified bitumen should be removed by scraping a cold sample. The sample should be cooled to at least negative 40 degrees Fahrenheit before removal is attempted. An initial analysis of the sample should be done before the coating is removed, but the examined removed coating should be the criteria for the actual analysis of the coating. The product should be analyzed under 20% filtered ultra-violet light and 10 power lens. If the sample is felt to be inadequately mixed, the batch is held for continued mixing. Only after proper dispersion, in correlation to the criteria set out below, will the batch be considered properly mixed and acceptable for shipping or dropping on membranes. For a material to be considered a proper blend, it must show certain distinguishable qualities under ultra-violet microscopy analysis. The polymer, the fluorescing region, must be a continuous phase and take up the majority of the analyzed area. The asphalt, the non-fluorescing region, must be completely disbursed throughout the continuous polymer region, and be of a small and uniform dispersion. The blend will not be considered adequately mixed if the phase shows large aggregations of either polymer or bitumen suspended throughout the main continuance phase, or if the continuance phase does not show fluorescence and in fact is comprised of non-polymeric material. Filled or further modified blends may show some aggregation of material due to the specific reflective qualities of the additives. These results should be recorded and be used for complete and accurate analysis of the blends. Any non-compliant and compliant qualities of the blend should be noted and recorded for analysis. Non-compliant blends should be rejected. NOTE: Photocopies of photographs of acceptable and non-acceptable compound blends are included in these specifications in the detail drawings section.

E. Results and Reports: The blend should be examined for all the above criteria in the prescribed manner, any non-compliant and compliant qualities of the blend should be noted and recorded for analysis both verbally and by photograph.

F. Job Site Verification: The OWNER’S representative reserves the right to spot

check material on the job site and test the material as stated above. Any material found not in compliance will be cause to stop the project and remove all



06/2008

of the manufacturer’s material from the job site at the expense of the manufacturer and/or CONTRACTOR. The OWNER’S representative will have the right to require material be used from a manufacturer that can meet the testing requirement.

NOTE: To avoid any controversy, any SBS/SIS manufacturer wishing to meet the previously listed substitution criteria will also be required to submit a Ultra-violet microscopy analysis photograph showing a sample of the minimum 16% SBS/SIS modified asphalt sample used in the membrane for this particular roofing project. This submitted compound must currently be used in the manufacturing of a modified membrane by this manufacturer and it must look similar to the blend of the specified manufacturer. If this manufacturer is accepted as an alternate to the specified SBS/SIS manufacturer, then the photograph submitted by the manufacturer wishing to be approved as an alternate will be assumed to be a comparable quality standard for the SBS/SIS membrane they will supply for use on this particular roofing project. Any major variance from this standard discovered during the course of this roofing project is grounds for the previous action to be initiated. All testing submitted by independent laboratories.

G. The manufacturer of the Primary Waterproofing Membrane shall be currently

certified by the International Organization for Standardization as meeting the minimum quality assurance standards outlined in the I.S.O. 9001 program and shall be registered in the current listing of I.S.O.

1.07 ADDITIONAL QUALITY ASSURANCE FOR ALL SBS/SIS MODIFIED ASPHALT

MEMBRANES

A. In order to achieve the optimum performance characteristics essential to the long-term performance of a low-sloped roof system, the waterproofing membranes should be manufactured in a way that will assure that the desired performance criteria is achieved. Of particular importance in this regard are the methods by which rubber compounds are disbursed throughout the membrane and the method by which the reinforcing scrim is introduced into the membrane.

B. Rubberized-Bituminous membranes have superior properties when compared to non-rubberized-standard bituminous membranes. The rubberized bituminous membranes have superior flexibility and elongation ability. However, as the process of aging occurs, all bituminous membranes harden, including rubberized membranes, and their ability to flex and elongate is reduced. This aging process can quickly reduce the performance properties of membranes with low percentages of rubber content to below optimum performance requirements. This process occurs rapidly with SBS or SEBS levels of 12%-18%. A fail-safe level of rubber at 22% minimum will provide the performance required for a full service of the membrane in excess of 30+ years. The 22% rubber content must be fully disbursed uniformly in the rubber-bitumen compound for the optimum performance to be achieved. Simply adding 22% rubber throughout the compound will not achieve the desired performance results over a 30 year life expectancy. The manufacturer of the membrane must have equipment capable of disbursing this high level of rubber into the compound. The SBS/SIS combination is the result of a technique that extends the life span of SBS base roofing membranes. Because of this a fail-safe level of 16% minimum will provide the performance required for a full service life of the SBS/SIS membrane in excess of 30 years.

C. In order to achieve the optimum dispersion of rubber in the compound high speed, high sheer disc mixers are required. These mixers generate sufficient frictional heat within the compound to thoroughly and uniformly disburse the rubber modifier throughout the compound. Conventional paddle mixers in typical modified bitumen manufacturing processes are not capable of disbursing more than 12%-15% SBS, SEBS or SIS rubber on a uniform basis. Higher quantities or rubber become too viscous to be properly disbursed into the compound where paddle mixers are utilized.

D. Sample and Test Procedure: Proper rubber dispersion into the compound should be




07 52 00 - 13

verified by testing. Samples should be taken at the proposed completion time for blending on the batch sheet. An analysis of the material should be run for the blending criteria. Samples should be collected in small aluminum containers adequately sized for use under an ultra-violet microscope. Samples that contain high quantities of solvent should be dried in an air-circulated oven prior to analysis. If the product is already coated onto a scrim, the modified bitumen should be removed by scraping a cold sample. The sample should be cooled to at least negative 40 degrees Fahrenheit before removal is attempted. An initial analysis of the sample should be done before the coating is removed, but the examined removed coating should be the criteria for the actual analysis of the coating. The product should be analyzed under 20% filtered ultra-violet light and 10 power lens. If the sample is felt to be inadequately mixed, the batch is held for continued mixing. Only after proper dispersion, in correlation to the criteria set out below, will the batch be considered properly mixed and acceptable for shipping or dropping on membranes. For a material to be considered a proper blend, it must show certain distinguishable qualities under ultra-violet microscopy analysis. The polymer, the fluorescing region, must be a continuous phase and take up the majority of the analyzed area. The asphalt, the non-fluorescing region, must be completely disbursed throughout the continuous polymer region, and be of a small and uniform dispersion. The blend will not be considered adequately mixed if the phase shows large aggregations of either polymer or bitumen suspended throughout the main continuance phase, or if the continuance phase does not show fluorescence and in fact is comprised of non-polymeric material. Filled or further modified blends may show some aggregation of material due to the specific reflective qualities of the additives. These results should be recorded and be used for complete and accurate analysis of the blends. Any non-compliant and compliant qualities of the blend should be noted and recorded for analysis. Non-compliant blends should be rejected.

E. Results and Reports: The blend should be examined for all the above criteria in the prescribed manner, any non-compliant and compliant qualities of the blend should be noted and recorded for analysis.

F. Job Site Verification: The OWNER’S representative reserves the right to spot check

material on the job site and test the material as stated above. Any material found not in compliance will be cause to stop the project and remove all of the manufacturer’s material from the job site at the expense of the manufacturer and/or CONTRACTOR. The OWNER’S representative will have the right to require material be used from a manufacturer that can meet the testing requirement.

G. The manufacturer of the Primary Waterproofing Membrane shall be currently certified

by the International Organization for Standardization as meeting the minimum quality assurance standards outlined in the I.S.O. 9001 program and shall be registered in the current listing of I.S.O. Certified Manufacturers. The Manufacturers I.S.O. certification number must be included in the bid documents along with the name of the licensed quality assessment-auditing firm issuing the certification.




07 52 00 - 14

Note: To avoid any controversy, any SBS/SIS manufacturer wishing to meet the previously listed substitution criteria will also be required to submit a Ultra-violet microscopy analysis photograph showing a sample of the minimum 16% SBS/SIS modified asphalt sample used in the membrane for this particular roofing project. This submitted compound must currently be used in the manufacturing of a modified membrane by this manufacturer and it must look similar to the blend of the specified manufacturer. If this manufacturer is accepted as an alternate to the specified SBS/SIS manufacturer, then the photograph submitted by the manufacturer wishing to be approved as an alternate will be assumed to be a comparable quality standard for the SBS/SIS membrane they will supply for use on this particular roofing project. Any major variance from this standard discovered during the course of this roofing project is grounds for the previous action to be initiated. All testing submitted by independent laboratories.
