Raptor Underlayment Synthetic Underlayment (Pallet Quantity)

Raptor Underlayment Synthetic Underlayment is designed for exceptional performance and convenience. With a unique combination of woven polypropylene, binders, tackifiers, and non-woven polymers, Raptor offers a lightweight yet robust solution that ensures incredible traction in both wet and dry conditions. Its aggressive tear strength guarantees it won’t blow off the roof, providing reliable protection.

For optimal water infiltration prevention, Raptor recommends the use of regular roofing nails and cap nails as the preferred fasteners. Staples can be used, but only if the roofing is planned for the same day. They may leak when exposed to extended periods of rain. Concentrating the fasteners in the horizontal laps and using them sparingly in the field maximizes their effectiveness.
