Thermoplastic
polyolefin (TPO) single-ply roofing membranes are among
the fastest growing commercial roofing products and have
gained broad industry acceptance for their many
performance and installation advantages. As demand
increases for heat-reflective and energy efficient
roofing systems, TPO single-ply roofing membranes
provide exceptional resistance to ultraviolet, ozone and
chemical exposure.
Sika's specially
formulated thermoplastic membrane (sometimes referred to
as “Vinyl” or "PVC" (short for “polyvinyl chloride) is
also designed to withstand the everyday occurrences of
ponding water and other natural elements such as birds,
biological organisms, pollution, wind, hail and snow.
One of the great properties of
thermoplastic membranes is that the material temporarily
changes from a solid to a semi-solid state when heated
sufficiently, enabling the sheets or panels that are
overlapped to be fused together and return to a solid
upon cooling. Thus, a monolithic, continuous sheet
membrane is created
