Polymer Modified Self-Adhered Membranes
In recent decades, the roofing industry has undergone a transformation with Polymer Modified Self-Adhered Membranes. This article will explain how Polyglass LS MAX membrane, its characteristics and benefits in multi-layer roofing systems including low roof slope and flat roofing, is something you should investigate when doing a roof repair or new roof installation – especially in Queen Creek and Tucson Arizona. This robust membrane has gained popularity for flat roofing due to their easy bonding to substrates and are typically installed in layers as Modified Built-Up Roofing (MBUR).

History of Self-Adhered Membranes
The roofing industry has evolved from traditional asphalt roofs to modified bitumen and self-adhered membranes. The introduction of Polyglass’s ADESO technology in the 1990s transformed the market, promoting safer and more efficient installation methods, which led to the widespread adoption of polymer-modified membranes.
– In the 1970s-1980s, modified bitumen gained popularity despite safety risks associated with application techniques.
– The 1990s saw the rise of self-adhered membranes, particularly through Polyglass’s ADESO Self-Adhered Technology.
– This technology revolutionized the industry and spurred the growth of polymer-modified membranes in Arizona.
– Polyglass continues to refine this technology, offering a variety of self-adhered membranes and underlayments for easier installation.
Polyglass LS MAX (Polystick)
Polyglass LS MAX is a self-adhered waterproofing membrane designed for flat roof and low-slope roofing applications, utilizing ADESO® dual compound technology. It is part of the Stick ‘N’ Coat System, providing a flexible, easy-to-install solution with excellent adhesion properties that reduce the cost of flat roof installation for homeowners and business owners.
