BITEC’s line of roofing products has established itself as a benchmark in durability and performance. These solutions, designed for low-slope roofs, offer contractors and building owners reliability that is critical in today’s demanding construction environments. Whether it’s coal tar pitch or asphalt-based systems, the range provides options tailored to meet diverse roofing needs.
Coal Tar Pitch (CTP) stands out as an enduring choice for built-up roofing (BUR) systems. Leveraging coal tar's unique properties, this material excels in waterproofing, weather resistance and self-healing. Its aromatic molecular structure allows for natural resistance to environmental stresses, such as temperature fluctuations and chemical exposure. This makes it an ideal solution for low-slope roofs where durability and longevity are critical.
Complementing this are additional products like TB Mastic, a cold-applied option designed for repairs, flashings and sealing. Its polymer modification enhances durability, ensuring exceptional performance in challenging conditions.
BITEC’s Asphalt Roofing products are designed with versatility and strength in mind. Options like AOB and AB II serve as robust underlayments for built-up systems. The non-perforated AOB base sheet delivers exceptional water-shedding capabilities, making it ideal for metal and shingle roofs.
For flat roofs, the 250 SPMC membrane offers superior resistance to punctures and fatigue, combining multi-ply protection with SBS rubber reinforcement. Its factory-applied mineral granules save on labor and add a sleek, reflective finish.
Across its product range, BITEC offers innovative solutions to meet today’s roofing challenges. Poly-Shield® serves as a superior replacement for traditional tar organic felts (TOF), offering enhanced strength and reliability in coal tar systems. Meanwhile, TarRestore® is specifically designed to restore aged coal tar roofs, extending their lifespan and ensuring continued protection. Together, these products address the critical needs of modern construction with durability and performance.
BITEC’s commitment to quality ensures that every product, from base sheets to mastics, is manufactured to stringent standards. The result? Roof systems built to last and deliver exceptional value over their lifecycle.
