Asphalt
Naturally occurring or technically manufactured mixture from mineral compounds (flint, chippings, sand, rock meal) and the bonding agent bitumen.
Asphaltic mastic
Dense matter which can be cast and flattened when hot made from chippings, sand, filler (rock meal) and bitumen whose mineral compound mixture is cavity free.
B
Bitumen
is a visco-elastic petroleum dissolate for the manufacture of bitumen sheeting, tapes and adhesive compositions.
Bitumen sheeting
consisting of lining material with double-sided bitumen protective layers
Bitumen tape
Covering tape with lining material pursuant to DIN 30672 and DIN EN 10300
Butyl, butyl rubber
Butyl rubber as a raw material and adhesive material for synthetic covering tapes
Butyl rubber tape

E
External control
is neutral product testing carried out by institutes. Internal quality control forms part of this.
F
Fibre glass
is a lining material with a very high maximum tensile load and low strain for roof sealing sheeting and fusing sheeting.
G
Gas steel line pipe, gas station, gas steel trunk lines, gas storage container, gas steel pipe container
Constructions made from steel which are factory manufactured against corrosion but are subsequently protected against corrosion during the construction phase. Corrosion protection systems are used in accordance with DIN 30672 and DIN EN 10300 as thick coatings, as are GRP systems.
Glass mat
is a lining material with a low maximum tensile load and low strain (see also roof sheeting).
Green roof covering
A particular type of roof area use with plantations, which according to the plantations is either extensive (undemanding, easy to maintain plant cover) or intensive (demanding plant cover).
Grease tape, grease binder, grease tapes
Colloquial terms for petrolatum/Vaseline strips in "construction language use". Thick coating.
GRP
Abbreviation for: glass-fibre reinforced plastic
GW 15
Concerns a coating training course with a final test in theory and practice with standard coating materials through the Rohrbauverband (Pipework Association). The GW 15 coating certificate may only be issued by the Rohrverband.
H
Hard roof covering
is a term from the Bauordnungsrecht (building code) and describes the classification of roof systems according to DIN 4102-7 (fire behaviour of building materials and components) which are sufficiently resistant against flying sparks and radiant heat.
I
Insulation sheet
is an element consisting of heat insulation material and bitumen sheeting. Can be delivered in roll format or fold-up form (see also doubling layer).

Reinforcement sheeting
Crack-bridging, self-adhesive reinforcement used in asphalt road construction. See product overview for road technology
Roof waterproofing
is a two-dimensional waterproofing material consisting of strip shaped waterproofing to protect a construction against precipitation, comprising of a watertight layer over the entire roof area.
Root penetration protection
is a layer for preventing root secondary growth through roof waterproofing. Root penetration protection can be achieved by waterproofing top ply itself or through a separate root penetration protective layer.

V
Vapour barrier
a layer which reduces or prevents the diffusion of water vapour.
Vapour pressure equalising layer
is a contiguous air layer for balancing on-site originating vapour pressure differences. It is achieved through partial bonding or loose laying of the next layer.
Ventilated roof (formerly known as a "cold roof")
is a roof construction with an upper and a lower frame with an intermediate attic that is ventilated and deaerated from the outside.
W
Waterproofing
Two-dimensional, waterproof layer from strip shaped waterproofing material for protection from water.
