FlexGuard® TPO Membrane

FlexGuard® TPO Membrane

Thermoplastic polyolefin (TPO) waterproofing membrane is a water-proof membrane produced by a single extrusion process without any plasticizers, using polyolefin polymer synthetic resin and EPDM as the base material, with antioxidant test, anti-aging agent, UV absorbent and other fillers. It has both flexibility and weldability. Polyester fiber mesh cloth can be added as reinforcement material, made of enhanced waterproof material.
