Overview
BXI SBS Modified Bitumen Waterproofing Membrane Roll is described as a torch-on asphalt roofing material and self-healing flashing sealant for outdoor roof, foundation, and ice and water shield use. It is described as an SBS polymer modified bitumen membrane with a dense surface that creates a water-tight barrier and is intended to support waterproofing and sealing in leak repair projects.
This roll is described as a flexible membrane that can be applied with torch heating or adhered with waterproof glue, with a cross-textured surface designed for torch application and even heating.
Key takeaways
- It is described as 13 in x 8.2 ft with 1/8” thickness and 8.86 square feet coverage.
- It is described as high-quality SBS polymer modified bitumen with a textured surface for easy torch-application.
- It is described as providing dual waterproofing, with a dense surface that forms a water-tight barrier and a heated application that fuses into cracks.
- It is described as remaining functional at temperatures as low as -20°C (-4°F), with performance in hot and cold environments without cracking or melting.
- Buyers commonly describe the roll as thick or dense and describe torch application as melting evenly and sticking down well.
- It is described as optimized in size and weight so that a single person can install with ease, and buyers commonly describe the handling as manageable for one person.
What the product is designed to do
This product is described as an SBS modified bitumen flashing sealant underlayment intended to provide waterproofing and sealing. The membrane is described as creating a water-tight barrier through a dense surface, and it is described as delivering dual waterproofing.
When heated, it is described as deeply penetrating into cracks of the substrate until the materials fuse together for powerful, lasting adhesion. It is also described as having a self-healing feature for long-term outdoor use, where the material flows around minor damage to form new bonds and seals, restoring waterproof protection rapidly.
For projects and surfaces, it is described as being widely used on roofs, decks, floor drains, gutters, bathrooms, basements, kitchens, balconies, pools, ponds, walls, underground areas, tanks, storage areas, concrete surfaces, and other wet areas. It is also described as suitable as a foundation layer used as a base, middle, or top barrier in leak repair projects, both indoors and outdoors. For quick access to the same product, use SBS modified bitumen waterproofing membrane roll.

Installation and placement notes
This bitumen membrane is described as having a cross-textured design that ensures instant melting during torch application, for faster and even heating. It is described as optimized in size and weight so that a single person can install with ease, and it is described as easy to cut to size using a sharp knife.
Two application ways are described. The first way is to apply the membrane using torch heating, then roll out and compress. The second way is to use waterproof glue to adhere it. For the same product reference, torch-on asphalt roofing material roll is the intended format described for faster heating and application. Placement is described as suitable for corners and curved surfaces, with superior flexibility for a tight, conforming fit.
Performance characteristics described in the listing
Performance is described in terms of waterproofing, sealing, and durability. The dense surface is described as creating a water-tight barrier, and heating is described as enabling deep penetration into cracks until the materials fuse together for lasting adhesion.
All-weather performance is described as functioning in both hot and cold environments without cracking or melting, and remaining functional at temperatures as low as -20°C (-4°F). Resistance is described as including resistance to tears, punctures, alkali, chemicals, UV radiation, and aging, maintaining sealing and bonding properties in harsh conditions and environmental factors. The self-healing feature is described as helping long-term outdoor use by flowing around minor damage to form new bonds and seals.
For a direct reference to the same item, self-healing flashing sealant membrane reflects the described combination of sealing and restorative behavior around minor damage.
Review patterns buyers commonly mention
Buyers commonly describe the roll as thick or dense. Buyers commonly describe torch application as melting evenly and sticking down well.
