• Heat Reflective
White colour results in a heat reflective index of 70% and
retains a high proportion of this through its service life due
the colour fastness and retention of the membrane.
• No Toxic Emissions
The TPO membrane system is chlorine-free, non-halogenated and plasticizer-free formulation and in combination with the hot-air welded seaming method produce no emissions harmful to the environment.
• Bacteria Propagation Resistant
The TPO membrane exhibits excellent resistance to the
propagation of discolouring bacteria that reduces the heat
reflectivity and energy efficiency.
• Low Carbon Footprint
The TPO membrane can also be easily recycled and has
a lower production footprint than comparable systems.
