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.

  • Highly resistant to punctures, UV, ozone
    and oxidation
  1. Ensure substrates are clean, dry, smooth, and free of sharp edges, fins, loose or foreign materials, oil, grease, and other contaminants that may damage the membrane.
  2. Repair all rough surfaces that could damage the membrane as specified to create a smooth substrate.
  3. Properly fill all surface voids greater than 1/4” (6.3 mm) wide with an acceptable fill material.
  4. Install McGuire FlexGuard TPO waterproofing membrane as a continuous roofing or waterproofing layer. Overlap rolls (side laps and end laps) before heat welding the seam areas.
  5. Follow current McGuire FlexGuard TPO specifications, details, and workmanship requirements during installation.
