Thermoplastic olefin, commonly referred to as TPO, is a highly popular flat roofing material celebrated for its exceptional resistance to solar UV radiation. The color white is predominantly chosen for its outstanding solar reflectivity, offering a cooler environment beneath. TPO roofs are renowned for their impressive tear resistance, with laps seamlessly welded using hot air technology. These roofing systems ingeniously blend the enduring durability of rubber with the reassuring security of hot air-welded seams. TPO's robust single-ply membrane effectively withstands chemical spills, oil, and grease, making it an eco-friendly choice as it's entirely recyclable. It is often embraced as a 'green option' due to its formulation without plasticizers. TPO roofing membranes are available in various thicknesses to cater to your specific needs, along with diverse roll widths for optimal installation convenience.
A TPO roofing system emerges as an excellent choice for flat or low-sloped roofs. Its energy efficiency and lasting durability make it a cost-effective option. TPO roofing systems encapsulate all the advantages of EPDM and PVC roofing without the additional expenses. Like PVC, TPO can be heat-welded, and it rivals the UV and heat resistance of EPDM. While TPO roofs possess numerous benefits, as with any roofing system, there are a few drawbacks. Introduced to the market in the early 1990s, ongoing market research endeavors aim to address any existing imperfections within the system.
TPO stands for Thermoplastic Polyolefin, a revolutionary roofing system introduced in 1990 as a cost-effective and efficient alternative to EPDM and PVC. Comprising a single-ply thermoplastic polyolefin membrane, TPO is engineered with three integral layers: the TPO polymer base, a polyester-reinforced fabric center known as scrim, and a compounded topped ply of thermoplastic polyolefin.
In the intricate process of TPO manufacturing, the most prevalent fillers include fiberglass, talc, and carbon fiber, along with metal oxy, sulfurate, and wollastonite. EPDM and ethylene-propylene rubber are the predominant rubbers utilized in crafting TPO.
Durability
This roofing system is remarkably resilient, effectively resisting the impact of dirt, mold, and debris. TPO roofs offer exceptional flexibility, adapting seamlessly as a building or home settles. Furthermore, TPO roofs demonstrate superior resistance to the thermal expansion and contraction of buildings compared to single-ply roofing systems.
Easy Installation
TPO roofing systems are distinctly user-friendly in terms of installation. Their lightweight nature, coupled with the availability in large rolls, ensures effortless maneuverability and reduced welding requirements. This ease of installation translates to significant benefits for customers.
Energy Efficiency
The allure of TPO roofs lies in their remarkable energy efficiency and reduced carbon footprint. TPO's white reflective surface not only meets but surpasses the EPA energy star standards. With white, tan, and grey surfaces earning recognition from the Cool Roof Rating Council, a TPO roof might be your perfect choice to cool your home while reducing energy costs.
1. TPO exhibits excellent mechanical properties, boasting superior flexibility without the need for plasticizers.
2. With a non-volatile plasticizer formulation, TPO eliminates concerns related to volatility.
3. Unlike PVC, where the outer plasticizer may degrade with time and temperature, leading to performance issues, TPO remains stable and reliable.
Longevity
Though introduced only in 2005, TPO roofing systems continue to undergo extensive research to perfect their chemical formulation. Manufacturers have faced challenges such as membrane cracking, curling seams, and even bursting. Despite trials with newer membranes and formulas, the longevity of TPO remains unpredictable. It's prudent to select materials from a well-established company when opting for a TPO roofing solution.

1) How to choose suitable waterproof membranes?
- For exposed areas such as roofs, we recommend TPO/PVC waterproof membranes. These can be applied using either welding or adhesive methods.
- For unexposed areas like kitchens and bathrooms, we suggest using a high polymer PE+non-woven fabric, which can be applied with cement. Tiles can then be adhered to the cement for a seamless finish.
2) Is OEM service available?
-Absolutely! We proudly offer OEM services and warmly welcome your requests at any time.
Please send us your logo, and we will design it for you. Alternatively, you can send us your completed design directly. Afterward, we will print it on
either the packing round paper, profile paper, or the exterior of the carton as per your choice.
3) Are you a factory?
-Indeed, Shandong Chenhua Waterproof Co., Ltd. is a distinguished factory specializing in a wide range of waterproof materials since 1994. Strategically located in China's renowned Waterproof Town, Taitou, our products are crafted to meet diverse waterproofing needs for both unexposed and exposed surfaces.
4) What is the delivery time?
-Typically, an order is completed within 10 days following order confirmation. However, delivery times may vary based on specific requirements and order quantities.
