Thermoplastics
Durable, versatile and attractive, thermoplastics are a popular choice for
many reasons.
Key Features
- Light colored
- Reflects heat for lower utility costs and greater comfort inside
- Attractive — aesthetically pleasing, especially for sloped applications
- Heat — weldability
Additional Features
- More tear-resistant than EPDM membranes — up to five times more
puncture-
and tear-resistant than a non-reinforced EPDM membrane
- Much more resistant to animal fats, oils, and contaminants than rubber
(EPDM) is
- More suited to chemical situations — some can withstand significant
chemical attack
- Can be applied in the winter
- Can offer compatible thermoplastic-clad metal flashings
Limitations
- Less resistant to ultra-violet attack than EPDM (rubber membranes)
