Description
45 mil FiberTite-SM is a 40-oz sq. yd/nominal 45-mil (1.1 mm)
thick membrane. 45 mil FiberTite-SM not only meets or exceeds
the minimum physical property requirements enumerated in
ASTM D6754-15 Standard Specification for Ketone Ethylene Ester
(KEE) Based Sheet Roofing, but exceeds the physical properties
and performance characteristics of 60-mil competitive products.
Seaman Corporation is vertically integrated, which allows complete
control over the manufacturing process from the selection of the
yarns, to the engineering, knitting and weaving of the base fabrics
to the final coating process. Today, FiberTite Roofing Membranes
are the result of Seaman Corporation’s 60 years of applied fabric
engineering and coating technology.
All FiberTite Roofing Membranes are constructed using high
tenacity/heavy weight yarns to create a base fabric reinforcement
to impart superior puncture, tensile and tear resistance properties.
The base polyester fabrics are primed with a unique and proprietary
adhesive coat that lays the foundation to physically bond the KEE
coatings to the “fiber” to maximize seam strength and overall
membrane performance.
45 mil FiberTite-SM is coated on the face with Seaman
Corporation’s original “KEE” formulation to provide superior hot air
welding characteristics, extreme UV resistance, broad chemical
resistance and long-term flexibility and reparability for the installed
roofing membrane system. The back side of the membrane is
coated with a slightly modified (SM) economical version of Seaman
Corporation’s original KEE compound to control membrane costs
while offering additional thickness and weather ability. Additionally,
45 mil FiberTite-SM exhibits excellent tear, puncture, fungus, algae
and flame resistance that make FiberTite Roofing Systems some
of the most sustainable roofing systems available.
45 mil FiberTite-SM membrane is manufactured in conventional,
74-in and 100-in wide by 100-ft roll goods. 45 mil FiberTite-SM is also available in customized prefabricated roll widths and
lengths that incorporate integrated fastening tabs, sealing tabs
and also “no-tab” rolls of membrane up to 20-ft wide by 100-ft in
length. Field seaming of the membrane is accomplished by fusing
the thermoplastic membrane with conventional hot air welding
equipment.
Application
45 mil FiberTite-SM Roofing Systems carry extensive FM Global
and Underwriters Laboratories approvals. 45 mil FiberTite-SM
Roofing Systems can be installed by mechanically fastening the
membrane with FiberTite Magnum Fasteners and Stress Plates
or adhering the membrane in FTR 190e bonding adhesive to preapproved substrates. 45 mil FiberTite-SM can also be installed in
typical ballast configurations using conventional stone or paver
ballast.

Guide Specifications for the Installation of FiberTite Roofing
Systems.
