Thermoplastic olefin, more widely recognized as TPO, stands as a premier choice for flat roofing, celebrated for its exceptional ability to withstand the harsh effects of solar UV radiation. TPO roofing, especially in its popular white variant, excels in solar reflectivity. This roofing marvel boasts a high resistance to tearing and features laps that are seamlessly welded together using hot air. TPO Roofing Systems ingeniously fuse the enduring durability of rubber with the enhanced security of hot air welded seams. This tough, tear-resistant single-ply membrane is designed to resist chemical spills, oil, and grease, ensuring long-lasting protection. TPO roofing systems are 100% recyclable, making them an eco-conscious choice, as they exclude plasticizers from their formulation. Crafted to meet diverse needs, TPO roofing membranes come in a range of thicknesses and roll widths, offering tailored solutions for every requirement.
Consider the TPO roofing system, a stellar option for flat or low-sloped roofs. Known for its energy efficiency and longevity, TPO offers the best of both worlds, combining the advantages of EPDM and PVC systems without incurring extra costs. It rivals PVC in its ability to be heat-welded and matches EPDM in UV and heat resistance. While not without its challenges, TPO roofing debuted in the early 1990s, and ongoing research aims to perfect this innovative system, addressing any existing drawbacks.
TPO, short for Thermoplastic Polyolefin, revolutionized roofing when introduced in 1990. It promised a more cost-effective and efficient alternative to EPDM and PVC systems. This roofing system is composed of a single-ply thermoplastic polyolefin membrane, expertly crafted from a trio of layers: the robust TPO polymer base, a polyester-reinforced fabric center known as scrim, and a top layer of compounded thermoplastic polyolefin.
In the intricate manufacturing process of TPO, the most prevalent fillers include fiberglass, talc, and carbon fiber, along with metal oxy, sulfurate, and wollastonite. The process relies heavily on EPDM and ethylene-propylene rubber, fundamental materials in TPO production.
Durability
Embrace the resilience of this roofing system, designed to withstand the intrusion of dirt, mold, and debris. TPO roofs are notably flexible, adapting seamlessly as the structure settles. TPO roofing showcases superior resilience against the thermal expansion and contraction experienced by buildings, standing out among single-ply systems.
Easy Installation
Experience hassle-free installation with TPO roofing systems. These systems are lightweight and come in large rolls, simplifying movement and reducing the need for extensive welding. Easy installation translates to cost-saving benefits for customers.
Energy Efficiency
Discover the allure of TPO roofs, favored for their enhanced energy efficiency and reduced carbon footprint. The reflective white surface of TPO exceeds EPA energy star standards, while the white, tan, and grey options boast recognition from the Cool Roof Rating Council. Opt for a TPO roof to keep your home cooler and trim your energy expenses.
1. TPO membranes exhibit excellent mechanical properties and maintain impressive flexibility without the need for plasticizers.
2. A non-volatile plasticizer ensures there are no concerns about volatility, maintaining consistent performance.
3. The PVC outer plasticizer may undergo changes over time and due to temperature fluctuations, potentially leading to performance degradation and other issues.
Longevity
Introduced in 2005, these roofing systems still undergo research to perfect their chemical formulation. Manufacturers continue to navigate challenges such as membrane cracking, curling seam failures, and bursting. Although newer membranes and formulas are being tested, their longevity remains uncertain. Opt for a TPO roofing material from a seasoned company to ensure reliability over time.

1) How to choose suitable waterproof membranes?
- For exposed locations like roofs, TPO and PVC waterproof membranes are recommended. They can be applied using welding or glue, ensuring robust protection.
- For unexposed areas such as kitchens and bathrooms, we recommend high polymer PE combined with non-woven fabric. This application should be done with cement, allowing tiles to be securely adhered.
2) Is OEM available?
- Absolutely! We warmly welcome OEM services at any time.
Please feel free to send us your logo. We would be delighted to create a design for you, or if you have a completed design, you can send it directly to us. We will ensure it is brilliantly printed on
the packaging, whether it be round paper, profile paper, or the exterior of the carton.
3) Are you a factory?
- Yes, indeed! Shandong Chenhua Waterproof Co., Ltd. proudly operates as a professional factory, specializing in an extensive range of waterproof materials since 1994. Strategically located in Taitou, often referred to as China's Waterproof Town, our products are crafted to meet a wide spectrum of waterproofing needs for both unexposed and exposed substrates.
4) What is the delivery time?
- Typically, an order is completed within just 10 days after confirmation. However, delivery times may vary based on specific requirements and quantities.
