Thermoplastic olefin, commonly referred to as TPO, is a highly popular choice for flat roofing due to its exceptional resistance to degradation from solar UV radiation. The most favored color, white, stands out for its superior solar reflectivity. TPO roofs are renowned for their remarkable tear resistance, with laps that are seamlessly welded using hot air. These roofing systems combine the enduring durability of rubber with the secure seams created by hot air welding. The robust, tear-resistant single-ply membrane effectively counters chemical spills, oil, and grease. TPO roof systems are completely recyclable, offering an environmentally-friendly and sustainable roofing solution. Without any plasticizers in its formulation, TPO is often considered an eco-friendly option. Available in various thicknesses and roll widths, TPO roofing membranes are designed to meet diverse specifications and requirements.Opting for a TPO roofing system is a wise decision for flat or low-sloped roofs, thanks to its energy efficiency and long-lasting nature. Combining the benefits of EPDM and PVC roofing systems without the associated costs, TPO can be heat-welded like PVC and offers UV and heat resistance akin to EPDM. While TPO roofs have their challenges, they've been on the market since the early 1990s. Continuous market research is addressing existing flaws to enhance the system further.TPO, which stands for Thermoplastic Polyolefin, emerged in 1990 as a cost-effective and efficient alternative to EPDM and PVC roofing. It consists of a single-ply membrane made up of three layers: a TPO polymer base, a polyester-reinforced fabric center or scrim, and a thermoplastic polyolefin compounded top ply.
In the TPO manufacturing process, the most commonly used fillers include fiberglass, talc, and carbon fiber, along with metal oxides, sulfurate, and wollastonite. The prevalent rubbers utilized are EPDM and ethylene-propylene.
Durability
This innovative roofing system excels in withstanding dirt, mold, and debris. TPO roofs are incredibly flexible, allowing them to adapt as buildings or homes settle. They offer enhanced resilience to thermal expansion and contraction, outperforming typical single-ply roofing systems in this regard.
Easy Installation
TPO roofing systems stand out for their straightforward installation process. Lightweight and available in large rolls, they are easy to handle and require minimal welding, enhancing the efficiency of installation. Customers significantly benefit from the simplicity and speed of this process.
Energy Efficiency
TPO roofs are highly appealing to customers seeking energy-efficient solutions with a reduced carbon footprint. The white reflective surface exceeds the EPA's Energy Star standards, and the available white, tan, and grey surfaces are all recognized by the Cool Roof Rating Council. If you're aiming to cool your home and cut energy costs, a TPO roof could be the ideal choice.
1. TPO membranes showcase excellent mechanical properties and maintain superior flexibility without plasticizers.
2. With a non-volatile plasticizer, TPO poses no issues related to volatility.
3. While PVC outer plasticizers may alter over time and temperature, potentially leading to performance degradation and other concerns, TPO remains stable.
Longevity
Introduced in 2005, TPO roofing systems still require extensive research to perfect their chemical formula. Manufacturers have faced challenges, with some early instances of membrane cracking, seam failure, and membrane bursting. While newer formulas are being tested, the long-term durability of TPO remains uncertain. Opting for materials from a well-established company is advisable when selecting TPO roofing.

1) How to choose suitable waterproof membranes?
- For exposed areas like roofs, TPO/PVC waterproof membranes are recommended. Their application methods include welding or using adhesive glue.
- For areas not openly exposed, such as kitchens and bathrooms, we highly recommend using our premium high polymer PE combined with a non-woven fabric. This innovative material is designed for seamless application with cement, creating a robust base that allows tiles to adhere securely to the cement surface.
2) Is OEM service available?
- Absolutely, our OEM service is always available and warmly welcomed.
Please provide your logo, and we can either create a stunning design for you or work with your pre-designed artwork. We ensure that your branding is prominently displayed as we print on
either the packing round paper, profile paper, or the external carton packaging.
3) Are you a factory?
- Yes, indeed! Shandong Chenhua Waterproof Co., Ltd. proudly operates as a professional factory specializing in a vast array of waterproof materials since 1994. Our factory is strategically located in China's renowned Waterproof Town, Taitou. We deliver exceptional products that cater to varied waterproofing needs for both unexposed and exposed surfaces.
4) What is the delivery time?
- Typically, an order can be completed within 10 days following order confirmation. However, please note that delivery times may vary depending on specific requirements and order quantities.
