Membrane, one of the fundamental tools of the insulation industry, ensures the protection of
structures against the adverse effects caused by water. It is a suitable material used to enhance
the strength of buildings in basements, gardens, terraces, and roofs constructed in living
spaces. Additionally, membranes are used for structures exposed to different loads such as
bridges and viaducts.The increase in population-driven settlement plans necessitates the
continuous development of membrane production, and emphasizes the need for
producers/consumers to be more knowledgeable and aware in this regard.Among the different
types of membranes that vary according to their application areas, bituminous membranes are
the most common insulation material. Bituminous membranes are used to prevent water
penetration into the upper and lower parts of surfaces that are in permanent contact with
water. Proper use of membranes in building foundations is one of the most suitable methods
developed to eliminate factors that would cause corrosive effects on the structures. Many
studies have been conducted in membrane production technologies aimed at minimizing these
effects, and the development of high-performance, more corrosion-resistant membranes has
been one of the sector's main objectives.In this study, membrane technologies developed for
the purpose of protecting structures from moisture, corrosion caused by moisture, and various
factors that would harm the building foundation due to climatic conditions have been
investigated. Additionally, the acquisition of insulation materials blended with chemical
and/or polymer additives used in production has been examined, and their improving effects
have been researched. As a result, the aim was to recognize petroleum-derived membrane
materials, examine production methods, diversify them, and understand their areas of
application.
