Thermoplastic olefin (TPO) stands as a top-tier choice for flat roofing, celebrated for its formidable resistance to solar UV radiation. The preferred hue is white, acclaimed for its extraordinary solar reflectivity. TPO roofs are paragons of tear resistance, boasting seams that are fused together with hot air to ensure unparalleled durability. By blending the longevity of rubber with the steadfastness of hot air welded seams, TPO Roofing Systems present a robust, tear-resistant single-ply membrane that is impervious to chemical spills, oils, and grease. Moreover, TPO roofing solutions are wholly recyclable, recognized as an eco-conscious option due to the absence of plasticizers. Crafted to address diverse needs, TPO membranes are available in a variety of thicknesses and roll widths to accommodate specific demands.
Choosing a TPO roofing system is a strategic move for flat or low-sloped roofs, offering an energy-efficient and lasting solution that amalgamates the benefits of EPDM and PVC systems without the added expense. Similar to PVC roofing, TPO systems are heat-weldable and match the UV and heat resilience of EPDM roofing. Despite its myriad benefits, TPO roofing does have certain limitations, as anticipated with any system. Since its inception in the early 1990s, continuous market research strives to rectify these shortcomings.
TPO, or Thermoplastic Polyolefin, made its debut in 1990 as a budget-friendly and effective alternative to EPDM and PVC roofing solutions. This single-ply thermoplastic membrane comprises three intricately designed layers: a TPO polymer base, a polyester-reinforced fabric core called scrim, and a compounded thermoplastic polyolefin top ply.
The TPO manufacturing process prominently incorporates fillers such as fiberglass, talc, and carbon fiber, in addition to metal oxides, sulfurate, and wollastonite. Frequently utilized rubbers include EPDM and ethylene-propylene, which are crucial in the production of TPO.
Durability
This roofing system is meticulously designed to resist dirt, mold, and debris. The adaptable TPO roofs adjust as structures settle, offering superior resistance to thermal expansion and contraction compared to other single-ply systems.
Easy Installation
TPO roofing systems are celebrated for their ease of installation, attributed to their lightweight nature and availability in expansive rolls, which simplifies handling and minimizes welding requirements. This convenience results in direct advantages for the customer.
Energy Efficiency
TPO roofs are highly coveted for their exceptional energy efficiency and diminished carbon footprint. The highly reflective white surface surpasses EPA Energy Star criteria, with color options like white, tan, and grey, all recognized by the Cool Roof Rating Council. TPO roofs serve as an excellent choice for cooling your home while curbing energy costs.
1. Exceptional mechanical properties with outstanding flexibility, even without plasticizers.
2. The use of non-volatile plasticizers mitigates potential volatility challenges.
3. PVC outer plasticizers may degrade over time and temperature fluctuations, potentially causing performance degradation and other issues.
Longevity
TPO roofing systems, unveiled in 2005, continue to be subjects of thorough research aimed at refining their chemical formulations. Manufacturers have encountered challenges such as membrane cracking, seam failures, and bursting. While novel formulations are being evaluated, their long-term durability remains indeterminate. Opting for materials from well-established companies is recommended for TPO roofing installations.

1) How to choose suitable waterproof membranes?
- For exposed surfaces like roofs, we recommend TPO or PVC waterproof membranes, which can be applied using welding or adhesive methods.
For non-exposed areas, such as kitchens and bathrooms, we suggest our premium polymer PE combined with non-woven fabric. This innovative material is easily applied with cement, facilitating the convenient adhesion of tiles atop the cement layer.
2) Is OEM available?
Yes, we warmly welcome OEM service at any time, customizing our solutions to align with your unique branding requirements.
Kindly provide us with your distinctive logo so that we may craft a bespoke design tailored just for you. Alternatively, you can send us your finalized design directly, and our team will ensure it is meticulously and expertly printed on
the packaging materials. Whether it be round paper, profile paper, or the outer carton, we guarantee a sleek and professional presentation that truly represents your brand's image.
3) Are you a factory?
Yes, Shandong Chenhua Waterproof Co., Ltd. is a prestigious and experienced manufacturer, offering superior waterproof materials since 1994. Nestled in the famed China Waterproof Town - Taitou, we proudly present a comprehensive range of products skillfully designed to address a spectrum of waterproofing challenges, be it for unexposed or exposed surfaces.
4) Delivery time
Normally, an order reaches completion within a streamlined timeframe of 10 days post-confirmation. However, delivery times may fluctuate based on specific requirements and quantities, providing a bespoke approach tailored to fulfill all your unique needs efficiently.
