Firestone is pleased to announce new environmentally friendly packaging for its modified bitumen products. The new packaging system provides less waste and decreases energy usage by reducing bulk. The new Firestone packaging system uses color coded tapes to help identify the products and eliminate the bulky, paper wraps that were historically popular in the industry for SBS products.
Firestone has also replaced talc surfacing with more user friendly sand surfacing material. Sand provides an improved product that improves adhesion and is more temperature stable and less susceptible to sticking in the roll.
