INDIANAPOLIS – July 11, 2011 – As the demand for high performance, reflective roofing membranes continues to grow, Firestone Building Products Company, LLC, is introducing a new self-adhered white TPO membrane for the commercial building industry. UltraPly TPO SA membrane is an easy to install, energy efficient membrane that dramatically reduces labor costs.

“Air quality regulations and regulations governing the use of construction products are growing in importance and at the same time, VOC-compliant adhesives continue to increase in price due to their high demand,” said James Burkett, TPO product manager for Firestone Building Products. “With a sustainable advantage over the competition, UltraPly TPO SA membrane serves as a unique new option for the marketplace that meets these environmental industry regulations while eliminating the need for bonding adhesives.”

UltraPly TPO SA membrane combines the flexibility of Firestone’s proven TPO membrane with a factory applied, pressure sensitive, hot melt adhesive on the backside of the membrane. The membrane’s flexibility enhances the adhesion to approved substrates, resulting in a lay-flat application. The membrane also features strong, reliable, heat welded seams with proven performance over time. Environmentally friendly, UltraPly TPO SA membrane eliminates the field application of bonding adhesives, thus improving worksite air quality and eliminating adhesive odors.

Because UltraPly TPO SA membrane is easier and faster to install than fully adhered systems, it dramatically reduces installation and labor costs and allows for safer installation with fewer crew members. Its poly release liner and packaging are designed to protect the rolls during handling and make it easy to remove prior to installation.

Firestone UltraPly TPO SA products offer a variety of options to cover almost every job, including small and large projects and specialty work. With FM 1-90 and UL Class A ratings, the membrane meets or exceeds the requirements of ASTM 6878 Standards. Available in 6.25-foot and 10-foot wide rolls, UltraPly TPO SA membrane is eligible for a Firestone Red Shield 20-year Warranty.
