TPO Waterproof Membrane 1.5mm Reinforced
The tpo waterproof membrane 1.tpo waterproof membrane 1.5mm reinforced 5mm reinforced is the new generation of single-ply roof waterproofing. It is used on low-sloped and flat roofs, parapet walls, terraces, floating decks and balconies. TPO is a high quality, UV-resistant and energy efficient membrane with excellent weathering and chemical resistance. It is also a cost-effective and environmentally friendly material. TPO is an odourless and non-toxic material, which makes it particularly suitable for use in hospitals, kindergartens, schools and commercial buildings.
TPO is produced by a chemical process called polymerization.tpo waterproof membrane 1.5mm reinforced It is formed by the polymerization of ethylene and propylene with specific additives to give it its special properties. It is mainly used in the waterproofing construction of industrial, civil and public buildings. It is a flexible and durable material, which is easy to install and maintain, and it has good anti-aging and anti-oxidation performance. Its service life is long and it does not produce any harmful chemicals during production or during its use.
The main advantage of TPO is that it has a strong bond with the concrete surface, which allows the waterproofing membrane to form an excellent seal. It also has a very high tensile strength and elongation at break. Furthermore, it has good thermal insulation properties, which help to reduce heating costs. It is also extremely easy to clean and does not emit toxic fumes during installation. The TPO waterproofing membrane can be installed on a variety of substrates, including concrete, wood and bitumen.
It is available in a range of thicknesses and widths to suit different projects. It is ideal for large areas as it can be laid in 3m wide rolls, meaning 66% fewer joins than torch systems. It has a good wind uplift rating and can be heat-welded to the substrate. It has good UV and weathering resistance, which helps to protect the waterproofing membrane and the substrate underneath it. It is also odourless and free from heavy metals, which means it is safe for plant root systems.
TPO has been developed to withstand the rigours of the Australian climate and can be installed on most buildings. However, it is important to follow the manufacturers written instructions for its installation and to ensure that the correct protection courses are installed. The waterproofing membrane will need to be inspected and tested before the drainage composite, insulation and ballast are installed. This can be achieved by flood testing the waterproofing membrane or by Electric Vector Testing (EVT). In either case, a test report must be submitted to Henry Bakor prior to installing the waterproofing system and insulation and the EVT test inspection fee will need to be paid. This test is required to meet certain warranty conditions for the waterproofing membrane.
