Derbipure: a revolutionary step, a non-bituminous vegetable roofing membrane
«Green» on the inside
The membrane’s raw material is mainly composed of « green » substances, this makes Derbipure the first vegetable roofing membrane in the world. Thanks to its ecological composition of vegetable oils and pine-resin, this roofing membrane offers a pure and safe future. It is a fully ecological alternative for bituminous roofing membranes and offers a future minded solution for the scarcity issues regarding bitumen, which is an oil product. Derbipure is 100% recyclable, and reinforced with a composite armature, soaked with a highly reflective acrylic coating.
Moreover, it is certified Cradle to Cradle by EPEA, and DUBOkeur by Nibe.
White on top, Cool underneath !
Derbipure is the first white roofing membrane with a base of organic raw material, without the use of bitumen. The superior white top coating guarantees 81% of reflectivity of the sunrays, which results in an optimal passive cooling of the building’s interior. The white colour of Derbipure reflects the sunrays, thus reducing in summer the temperature underneath a flat roof with 5°C or even more. With Derbipure as a passive cooler, air-conditioning machines are superfluous or need to work less, which can save 2€/m² per year on the energy bill.
Pure rainwater
Have you ever wondered how much water is drained off a roof ? The quantity is enormous. Therefore it is very important that no harmful substance is transported from the roof into the environment. Thanks to Derbipure’s pH-neutral coating, the rainwater can be drained off into nature without any risk. This water can also be recycled for sanitary purposes.
