SOPRALENE FLAM 180 AF
Soprema’s core torch-applied reinforced bitumen cap sheet: elastomer-modified bitumen on a 180 g/m² non-woven polyester reinforcement, slate-finished. Part of the SOPRALENE FLAM multi-layer family with 250, GARDEN and VENTI variants.
Carbon and evidence
Product Evidence
Evidence currently held for the Soprema product record.
Recorded Carbon Result
A1–A3 GWP-total per m² of SOPRALENE FLAM 180 (4.073 kg/m²), per EPD-IES-0016206 — declared for the film-faced FLAM 180 from the Polish plant, not the UK AF variant specifically
Indicator: GWP-total
A1–A3 covers raw-material supply, transport to manufacture and manufacturing. It is product-stage information, not a whole-life result.

Two caveats, stated rather than smoothed over: the declaring plant is Soprema Polska (Błonie), scope Poland/Europe, and UK supply plant is unverified; and the declared product is FLAM 180 (thermofusible film both faces) while the UK sells the slate-finished AF variant. Reference service life 70 years, conditional on a suitable top layer.
