TPO is a single-ply roofing membrane made up of synthetics and reinforcing scrim. It features a blend of various rubbers, such as ethylene-propylene and polypropylene, to increase tension, strength, impact resistance and flexibility. The roof membrane is attached to the roof through mechanical fasteners or adhesives, while heat welding to create watertight seals and seams around the roof’s penetrations and edges.
TPO is manufactured in sheets of varying thicknesses. It is lightweight, so it can easily be rolled up, taken to commercial buildings and installed on flat or low-sloping roofs.
