Intec, Wayne, NJ, which has been in business since 1980, is one of the country's leading manufacturers of modified roofing systems, both in torch-applied APP (atactic polypropylene) membranes and hot asphaltor cold-applied SBS (styrene butadiene styrene) membranes.
Polypropylenes (PP) synthesized using traditional Ziegler-Natta catalysts are generally about 95% isotactic, with a few percent atactic and some syndiotactic polymer.
Scientists have found this tendency can be overcome by adding atactic polypropylene (APP) or styrene butadiene styrene (SBS) to the asphalt mix.

The remainder of the material (if any) is atactic polymer.
Conversely, the diminution in the amount of the triads leads to a large amount of atactic insertion of the propylene monomer.
The new catalyst we have developed will broaden the molecular weight and produce resins with a fractional MFR, similar to what can be made with conventional Ziegler-Natta catalysts." Resins made with this catalyst have high purity, very little atactic content, low acidity, and low chloride levels.
