Abstract
Thermoplastic polyolefin (TPO) membranes have been successfully used in the low-slope roofing industry as single-ply membranes for over 15 years and have seen even widespread acceptance as they have proven their performance. However, not every membrane is appropriate or suitable for every installation, and this presentation will present key criteria that are indicative of expected performance for TPO membranes when installed in a variety of conditions. These criteria, combined with those defined by ASTM D6878, can assist in evaluating commercially available products and the particular installation where they may be appropriate for use as a roofing membrane.
