Compound Base Mat for SBS / APP Waterproofing Membranes

Glass-scrim-reinforced nonwoven for bituminous membrane production. Compare 4×4 through Leno 9×9 constructions by basis weight, directional strength and tear performance.

Application & selection

The right material for the right layer.

A compound base mat combines glass mesh with a nonwoven web to form a composite reinforcement carrier. The mesh construction and nonwoven basis weight work together, so the full model specification matters more than a generic “composite mat” description.

Where it is used

For the reinforcement carrier in SBS / APP bituminous waterproofing membranes and asphalt shingles. Specify the mesh construction and its matching basis weight for the membrane you produce.

Practical purchasing checks

Make the order fit your production.

Order the construction, not just the weight

State both the mesh model and basis weight. For example, the 4×4 model in the table corresponds to 90 g/m²; the Leno 9×9 model corresponds to 180 g/m².

Check directional performance

Use the MD and TD tensile and tear rows when comparing options. The listed construction affects performance in both directions.

Confirm the production roll

Provide membrane type, target reinforcement, width, length and core size. Ask for the actual packing and loading plan with the quotation.

Packing & supply

Agree the packing before shipment.

Product protectionWrapped rolls with agreed end protection
Order identificationMesh model, basis weight and roll format stated together
LoadingRoll count and loading arrangement confirmed against actual roll dimensions

Packing photographs show examples. The final packing list states the roll count, net/gross weight and dimensions for the actual order.

Production lead time

Standard order: approximately 10 days for one 40-ft container order.

Customized specification: approximately 10–15 days.

Confirm the schedule against the final specification and order. Ocean or road transit is separate from production lead time.

Product FAQ

Questions about Compound Base Mat.

What is a compound base mat?

It is a glass-scrim-reinforced nonwoven carrier used in bituminous waterproofing membranes. It combines a mesh reinforcement with a nonwoven web.

Is it the same as continuous-filament polyester mat?

No. The glass-scrim composite structure is different from a continuous-filament polyester nonwoven. Compare the membrane design and the relevant technical properties before selecting.

Does 130 g/m² appear in this product range?

Yes. In this compound mat table, 130 g/m² corresponds to Leno 7×7. This is a different product from the continuous-filament polyester range.

How do I request the right grade?

Send the mesh model or a sample photo, required basis weight, membrane application, roll width and length, quantity and destination port.
