Yes, bituminous roofing membranes are resistant to road salt and other salt-based solutions. IKO’s bituminous waterproofing systems are specifically designed to perform durably, even under harsh conditions such as frequent exposure to de-icing salts. This makes our membranes particularly suitable for applications like parking decks, bridge surfaces, and other areas where road salt is commonly used.
Our bituminous membranes offer excellent chemical resistance to salts such as chlorides, sulfates, and nitrites — the most common components in de-icing products. As a result, the technical properties and watertightness of the waterproofing remain intact, even with regular exposure to these substances.
