Now there's an Awaplan product for each application method. Awaplan products can be applied
using hot mop application, cold-process and self-adhering methods. This application versatility
makes Awaplan products ideal not only for commercial roll roofing, but also for flashing, walkways
and expansion joints, as well as residential low-sloped roofing applications.

SBS-Modified
Asphalt Coating
Top-quality modified bitumen ensures elasticity and excellent
waterproofing protection. Awaplan products have always been
made with premium SBS-modified asphalt.
Polyester Mat
The polyester mat is manufactured by TAMKO® to ensure excellent
quality control. The tough nonwoven mat is made with needle-punched
interlocking fibers for exceptional flexibility and strength against punctures
and tears. A variety of mat weights makes the Awaplan line of products
effective and affordable for any job.
Ceramic Mineral Granules
Embedded granules provide resistance against UV degradation,
roof traffic and weather. Available in color options that will
enhance any building design.
†† This product features a tear resistant surface. This feature does not serve as a substitute for following all proper fall protection procedures in accordance with OSHA regulatory requirements–
including the use of personal fall protection devices when working on a roof. Applicator safety is of utmost importance.

Compare Awaplan to any other modified asphalt roofing system by performing these simple tests on samples of both
products. We’re confident you’ll agree—Awaplan provides excellent strength and performance.
Twist it
Kick it
Stab it
Scrub it
Freeze it
Twist it
Stab it
Freeze it
Use a pair of pliers to twist samples
of roofing products. Asphalt-coated
fiberglass will tear easily. Inferior
asphalt-coated modified fiberglass
will stretch and then tear. But
Awaplan products will withstand
your worst abuse.
Use one of the blunt-ended tools on
your pocketknife and try to puncture
roofing samples. Inferior products
will puncture and crack. But the
unsurpassed strength of the polyester
mat allows Awaplan membranes to
demonstrate a much
higher puncture resistance.
Freeze samples of Awaplan products
and competitive SBS-modified
products at 0°F for 4 hours. Grip
each sample with pliers and bend.
Poorly blended modified products
will crack or snap due to the extreme
cold. But Awaplan membranes have
the flexibility to withstand the coldweather test to at least -15°F without
cracking or breaking.
Kick it
Test elasticity and elongation by
digging your heel into the roofing
membranes, as if you were preparing
to placekick a football. When done on
an Awaplan product, the heel mark
should rebound and become nearly
invisible. These first two tests (Twist
it and Kick it) represent load-strain
product—and Awaplan stands up to
the test.
Scrub it
Granule adherence is essential in
protecting the asphalt from breakdown
caused by ultraviolet rays. Try to scrub
off granules from Awaplan products
and various competitive roofing
samples. Awaplan membranes have
excellent granule adhesion.

Field Roofing
Hard-to-Reach Areas
The Awaplan line is ideally suited to a variety of commercial
roofing applications, and there’s an Awaplan product to meet
almost any application method.
Walkways & Machinery Pads
Roof-Split Repairs
Walkways and machinery pads

Apply Awaplan Premium or Awaplan Premium FR in
high-traffic areas over conventional built-up membranes.
These Awaplan membranes protect against damage
due to maintenance traffic.
The Awaplan line provides a strong, wear-resistant surface
for the entire field of roofing.
Flashing
Hard-to-reach areas
Outstanding strength and elasticity make Awaplan
membranes ideal for stress-prone flashing areas.
Use a cold-process adhesive, such as TAM-PRO® Premium
SBS-Adhesive or sprayable TAM-PRO M3 Adhesive, to apply
Awaplan membranes to areas where it is too difficult to bring
a kettle or where torching is not an option.
Re-cover without tear-off
When conditions allow, the lightweight Awaplan system can be
applied directly over existing roofing systems using a venting
base or additional insulation.
Irregular or sloping roof structures
High pliability allows Awaplan membranes to easily conform to
unusual building features, slopes and projections when installed
in accordance with TAMKO’s application recommendations.
Roof-split repairs
Awaplan Premium and
Awaplan Premium FR
are compatible with
other asphalt roofing
systems and can be
installed quickly and
easily with or without
the use of a kettle.

A proven performer. Now faster than ever.
Made with the same ultra-tough formulation as Awaplan, Awaplan
SA products are designed to help you finish your commercial
roof installations with greater speed and convenience than ever.
There’s no kettle to fill, no mop or torch to deal with, and no
fumes produced during installation. Just unwrap, unroll—and
be on your way to the next job before you know it. You can also
be confident knowing that Awaplan SA will provide outstanding
adhesion to the roof. When applied at temperatures of 45° or
higher, the adhesive will create a more uniform and consistent
bond than is generally possible with hot mop or torch methods.
These products are available for application in select markets.

Bringing the advantages of Awaplan home.
The performance of Awaplan is well documented in commercial roofing applications. But the fact is, it’s also the ideal
choice for porches, garages and other low-sloped residential roofing applications that demand reliable roofing protection.
Unlike typical low-slope roofing materials, Awaplan and Awaflex® products are exceptionally flexible—and they resist
punctures and tears††. Best of all, they can be applied with several different application methods. Awaplan Premium,
Awaplan 170, and AwaFlex can be applied with cold-process SBS-modified adhesive. Awaplan SA FR and
Awastar SA FR are self-adhered.

Four Colors: Awaplan Premium and Awaflex® are available in Black and

and Weathered Wood. Choose a color that will complement your home.
• Ideally
suited for flat and low-sloped roofs both in new
construction and reroofing of additions, porches, garages,
flat-roofed homes and more
• Excellent for flashing in valleys and around chimneys
and skylights
• Awaplan and Awaflex products have exceptional
elongation and tensile strength, so they won’t split
with roof deck movement
• Made with a strong nonwoven polyester mat, Awaplan
and Awaflex products resist punctures and tearing
• The
polyester mat is coated with asphalt modified with
SBS polymer for flexibility, superior aging and waterproofing
• When installing Awaplan Premium, Awaplan 170 or AwaFlex, use of TAM-PRO® Premium SBS Adhesive or TAM-PRO
M3 Adhesive, also produced
by TAMKO, lets you avoid the
hazards of open-flame torching
equipment on your roof
