Thermoplastic olefin (TPO) is a widely acclaimed flat roofing material celebrated for its resilience against solar UV radiation. The most popular choice is the white variant, which boasts exceptional solar reflectivity. Renowned for its tear resistance, TPO roofs feature seams that are securely welded with hot air, merging the longevity of rubber with the reinforced security of hot-air-welded seams. This tough, single-ply membrane is resistant to chemical spills, oils, and greases, and notably, TPO systems are fully recyclable. TPO is often heralded as an eco-friendly choice, thanks to its lack of plasticizers. Available in diverse thicknesses and roll widths, TPO membranes cater to a spectrum of specific needs.For those with flat or low-sloped roofs, a TPO roofing system is an excellent selection. It is both energy-efficient and durable, inheriting the benefits of EPDM and PVC systems without the extra expense. TPO roofs can be heat-welded akin to PVC, and they share the UV and heat resistance of EPDM. However, like all roofing systems, TPO has its imperfections. Since its introduction in the early 1990s, ongoing research is continually addressing these issues.TPO, which stands for Thermoplastic Polyolefin, was unveiled in the market in 1990 as a cost-effective and more efficient alternative to EPDM and PVC roofing systems. Comprising three distinct layers, TPO is a single-ply membrane. These layers incorporate a TPO polymer base, a polyester reinforced fabric center known as scrim, and a thermoplastic polyolefin compounded top ply.
The TPO manufacturing process often utilizes fillers such as fiberglass, talc, carbon fiber, metal oxides, sulfurate, and wollastonite. EPDM and ethylene-propylene rubber are among the preferred rubbers for TPO production.
Durability
This roofing system showcases remarkable resistance to dirt, mold, and debris. TPO roofs exhibit unparalleled flexibility, accommodating the natural settling of a building or home. Unlike single-ply roofing systems, TPO roofs demonstrate superior resilience to the thermal expansion and contraction of structures.
Easy Installation
Installing TPO roofing systems is a breeze. These lightweight roofs are provided in large rolls, simplifying transportation and reducing welding requirements. Customers enjoy the benefits of an effortless installation experience.
Energy Efficiency
TPO roofs captivate numerous customers due to their energy efficiency and reduced carbon footprint. The reflective white surface of TPO surpasses EPA energy star requirements, while the white, tan, and grey surfaces are recognized by the Cool Roof Rating Council. If you're seeking to cool your home and cut down on energy expenses, a TPO roof is an outstanding choice.
1. TPO exhibits excellent mechanical properties and maintains flexibility without the need for plasticizers.
2. With a non-volatile plasticizer, TPO eliminates concerns about volatility.
3. Unlike PVC, which may experience changes in outer plasticizers over time and temperature, potentially leading to performance degradation and other issues, TPO avoids such risks.
Longevity
Introduced in 2005, TPO roofing systems still require further research to perfect their chemical formulations. Manufacturers have faced challenges such as membrane cracking, curling seam failures, and membrane bursts. While newer membranes and formulas are under trial, longevity predictions remain uncertain. Choosing materials from established companies is advisable when considering TPO roofing installations.

1) How to choose suitable waterproof membranes?
- For exposed areas, such as roofs, we recommend TPO or PVC waterproof membranes. They can be applied using welding or adhesive methods.
-For areas not directly exposed, such as kitchens and bathrooms, we highly recommend utilizing our premium high polymer PE combined with non-woven fabric. This exceptional material can be easily applied with cement, allowing tiles to adhere seamlessly on the cement surface for a flawless finish.
2) Can you provide OEM services?
-Absolutely, we warmly welcome the opportunity to offer our outstanding OEM services anytime.
Please provide us with your logo so that we can craft a design for you, or feel free to send us your completed design. We will then proceed to print your logo on
the round packing paper, profile paper, or the exterior of cartons, ensuring your brand stands out.
3) Is your company a factory?
-Indeed, Shandong Chenhua Waterproof Co., Ltd. is a distinguished factory specializing in a variety of waterproof materials since 1994. Situated in the heart of China Waterproof Town, Taitou, our products are adept at fulfilling diverse waterproofing needs, be it for unexposed or exposed surfaces.
4) What is the delivery timeline?
-Typically, an order is completed within 10 days following order confirmation. However, delivery timelines may vary based on specific requirements and order quantities, ensuring that we meet your unique needs promptly.
