DESCRIPTION
Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) Waterproofing Membrane is manufactured using a controlled extrusion and calendering process. The membrane incorporates an internal polyester reinforcement scrim, unless otherwise specified, to enhance dimensional stability, tensile strength, and tear resistance. The smooth PVC surface is designed for heat-welded seaming, producing a homogeneous, watertight bond at membrane laps and details.
Raw materials
The membrane is formulated from high-quality polyvinyl chloride resins, plasticizers, stabilizers, and performance additives, including UV inhibitors and anti-aging agents, to provide long-term weathering resistance, enhanced chemical resistance, and flexibility.
Excellent Quality
The membrane exhibits excellent overall quality, combining consistent manufacturing, durable formulation, and proven performance characteristics that meet or exceed applicable industry standards. ToppsFlex PVC has excellent age resistance. It also maintains flexibility in-40c temperatures and does not become hard and brittle.
Convenient Construction
Roofing assembly is simplified with ToppsFlex PVC. It’s easy to weld, highly efficient, and provides strong seam connections with high peel strength for watertight sealing.
Application Scope
The membrane is suitable for use in new construction and roef restoration applications over approved substrates, including steel, concrete, wood, gypsum, and existing compatible roofing systems, when installed in accordance with manufacturer requirements and project specifications.
APPLICATION
Substrates must be clean, dry, smooth, and free of sharp edges, fins, loose or foreign materials, oil, grease, and other materials that may damage the membrane.
All rough surfaces that can damage the membrane shall be repaired as specified to offer a smooth
substrate.
All surface voids greater than 1/4” (6.3mm) wide should be properly filled with an acceptable fill material. ToppsFlex TPO waterproofing membrane is installed as a continuous roofing or waterproofing layer on the roof. Rolls are over lapped (side laps and end laps) prior to heat welding the seam areas. Install the ToppsFlex TPO in accordance with current ToppsFlex TPO specifications, details and workmanship requirement
