| Significance and Use | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
This guide supersedes the slope guidelines of Appendix X1 of Specification D 312. Hot-applied roofing asphalt serves both as the waterproofing agent and adhesive for construction of built-up roofing membranes. There are many variables that may affect the performance of BUR membranes. This guide provides general specification guidelines for the asphalt only. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
