Polystick IR-Xe, is a homogeneous rubberized asphalt waterproofing compound, fiberglass reinforced, with an aggregate surface for skid resistance for use in ice and water protection applications. The rubberized asphalt seals around correctly installed nails on the weathering surface. Split release backing film aids in easy positioning of sheets to maintain proper line. Polystick IR-Xe underlayments are manufactured using patented Adeso® Dual-Compound Self-Adhered technology, whereby a "true" polymer modified asphalt compound is applied on the top layer and an aggressive self-adhesive compound is applied on the bottom layer.
