Cold Adhesive
Cold adhesive applications are as common in the low slope roofs. Cold adhesives are asphalt-based and are an important component of modern asphalt-based roof membrane systems.
Cold adhesives are generally composed of bitumen, solvent, fibers, fillers, and stabilizers; some may also contain rubber polymers such as SBS. As the solvent evaporates from the adhesive, the remaining components bond to the modified bitumen surface of the membrane by a type of solvent weld.
