Plastic felt is a prefabricated plastic- elastic membrane, formed by reinforcing polymeric bitumen with a layer of non-woven plastic fabric at the central core.
It is further finished with a thin polyethylene film on the outer surfaces.

Physical and Chemical characteristics.
1. Heat resistance - Does not show any change in lamination applied vertically.
2. Elongation - The elongation capacity of plasticfelt is minimum 300%. It permits the membrane to adapt to the structural movements caused by thermal jumps and other reasons.
3. Resistance to Ageing - PLASTICFELT membrane has an extra-ordinary resistance to ageing. Its properties vary very little more than 10 Years of service life. The two most significant properties that show the ageing of an asphaltic bitumen are the diminishing of penetration and pliability. Polymeric bitumen differs from traditional asphaltic coatants in maintaining its high level of penetration and pliability even after years.
4. Low Temperature Flexibility - The polymeric plasticfelt membrane maintains its flexibility even upto-10C.
5. Chemical Resistance -
Good against dilute acid solutions.
Good against oxidising acids.
Good against sulphurous solutions.
Good against alkaline solutions.
Bad against solvents.
