Thermoplastic olefin, widely recognized as TPO, is an immensely popular flat roofing material that excels under the relentless blaze of solar UV radiation. The choice of white is predominant due to its stellar solar reflectivity. TPO roofs stand out for their remarkable tear resistance, with TPO laps seamlessly welded through hot air. TPO Roofing Systems masterfully blend rubber's enduring durability with the security of hot air welded seams. This tough, tear-resistant single-ply membrane is resilient against chemical spills, oils, and grease, and is fully recyclable, making it a 'green option' due to the absence of plasticizers in its formulation. TPO Roofing membranes are available in varied thicknesses and roll widths, tailored perfectly to your specific needs.
For those with flat or low-sloped roofs, a TPO roofing system emerges as an ideal choice. It promises energy efficiency and durability, offering the advantages of EPDM and PVC roofing without the hefty price tag. Like PVC roofing, TPO systems can be heat-welded and exhibit UV and heat resistance akin to EPDM. While introduced in the early 1990s, ongoing market research is continually enhancing its efficacy and ironing out any existing flaws, ensuring a sound investment for your roofing needs.
TPO, short for Thermoplastic Polyolefin, was launched in the roofing industry in 1990. It stands as an affordable and superior alternative to EPDM and PVC. Characterized by its single-ply thermoplastic polyolefin membrane, TPO is crafted with three integral layers: the TPO polymer base, a reinforced polyester fabric center known as scrim, and a compounded thermoplastic polyolefin top ply.
The TPO manufacturing process incorporates fillers like fiberglass, talc, and carbon fiber, alongside metal oxide, sulfurate, and wollastonite. EPDM and ethylene-propylene rubber are the primary rubbers used, contributing to TPO's exceptional performance.
Durability
This roofing system excels in resisting the impacts of dirt, mold, and debris. TPO roofs are renowned for their flexibility, adapting smoothly as buildings settle. They exhibit superior resilience against thermal expansion and contraction compared to other single-ply roofing technologies.
Easy Installation
Installation of TPO roofing systems is a breeze, thanks to its lightweight nature and availability in large rolls, simplifying transport and reducing welding requirements. This ease of installation translates into significant customer benefits.
Energy Efficiency
TPO roofs captivate many customers with their outstanding energy efficiency and reduced carbon footprint. The white reflective surface of TPO not only meets but exceeds EPA energy star requirements. Certified by the Cool Roof Rating Council, the white, tan, and grey surfaces assure significant energy savings, making TPO an excellent choice for those aiming to cool their homes and lower energy expenses.
1. Exceptional mechanical properties and impressive flexibility without the need for plasticizers
2. Non-volatile plasticizers ensure there are no volatility concerns
3. Over time, external PVC plasticizers may alter with temperature shifts, leading to performance degradation and other complications
Longevity
Introduced in 2005, TPO roofing systems are still under extensive research to perfect their chemical formulations. Manufacturers have faced challenges, with instances of membrane cracking or seam failure observed. Despite trials with new formulas, their longevity remains uncertain. Opting for materials from established companies is advisable for assured durability when installing TPO roofing.

1) How to choose suitable waterproof membranes?
- For exposed surfaces like roofs, we recommend TPO/PVC waterproof membranes due to their weldable or glue application methods.
- For unexposed areas such as kitchens or bathrooms, high polymer PE combined with non-woven fabric is ideal. It can be applied with cement, allowing for tiles to be affixed securely.
2) Is OEM service available?
-Absolutely! We warmly welcome OEM services at any time, offering you the flexibility and customization you desire.
Kindly provide us with your logo, and our expert design team will craft a stunning design for you. Alternatively, feel free to send us your completed design. We'll ensure it's beautifully printed on
the packaging, whether it be the round paper, profile paper, or the external carton, making your product stand out.
3) Are you a factory?
-Indeed! Shandong Chenhua Waterproof Co., Ltd. is a distinguished factory specializing in an extensive range of waterproof materials since 1994. Nestled in the renowned China Waterproof Town - Taitou, we offer products that satisfy diverse waterproofing needs for both unexposed and exposed surfaces.
4) What is the delivery time?
-Typically, we complete orders within a swift 10 days following order confirmation. However, please note that delivery times may vary based on specific requirements and order quantities.
