Introduction

In today’s construction industry, safety, efficiency, and durability are more important than ever. Traditional torch-applied waterproofing membranes, while effective, come with risks such as open flame hazards, complex installation, and longer construction time.

This is why more contractors and developers are turning to self-adhesive bitumen membranes — especially advanced solutions like OYH YHStick-9301, 9310, 9312 and 9801.

These products offer a flame-free, fast, and reliable waterproofing solution, making them ideal for modern construction projects worldwide.

What Is a Self-Adhesive Bitumen Membrane?

A self-adhesive bitumen membrane is a polymer-modified waterproofing sheet with a pressure-sensitive adhesive layer.

Unlike traditional torch-applied membranes, it:

• requires no open flame

• is easy to install

• provides strong adhesion to substrates

According to product system design, it is widely used in:

• roofs (non-exposed systems)

• basements and underground structures

• tunnels, subways, and water-retaining structures

Why Choose Self-Adhesive Waterproofing?

1. Flame-Free Installation (Safer Projects)

Traditional bitumen membranes require torching, which can be dangerous.

👉 YHStick series eliminates this risk:

• no fire

• no smoke

• safer for workers and buildings

This is especially important for:

• residential projects

• confined spaces

• renovation works

2. Fast and Efficient Application

Self-adhesive membranes can be:

• peeled and applied directly

• installed with minimal equipment

• used in tight construction schedules

👉 Result: lower labor cost and faster project delivery

3. Excellent Adhesion & Self-Sealing

OYH YHStick membranes provide:

• outstanding adhesion to concrete substrates

• excellent self-sealing capability around nails and penetrations

👉 This ensures long-term waterproof integrity, especially in underground applications.

4. Strong Mechanical Performance

Based on product design:

• high tensile strength

• good elongation

• reliable flexibility under temperature variations

👉 Suitable for structures with movement or thermal stress.
