Water Shield<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Butyl Ice &amp; Water Shield<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>These two systems cover the vast majority of residential and commercial roofing applications worldwide while providing the best balance of performance, manufacturing efficiency, and supply reliability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Instead of developing products with limited market demand, we continuously improve the products our customers use most.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\">One Roofing Platform, Two Waterproof Solutions<\/h1>\n\n\n\n<p>Unlike many conventional Ice &amp; Water Shield products that use only a thin polyethylene film as the reinforcement layer, OPERFECT builds both product series on the same <strong>high-strength Synthetic Roofing Underlayment platform<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Product Structure<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>High-Strength Roofing Underlayment<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2193<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Bitumen Adhesive<\/strong> <em>or<\/em> <strong>Butyl Rubber Adhesive<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2193<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Release Film<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This platform design creates a stronger, more durable waterproof membrane with excellent dimensional stability and tear resistance during installation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It also allows distributors to source Roofing Underlayment and Ice &amp;
