UltraPly TPO

UltraPly TPO is a flexible thermoplastic polyolefin roofing membrane produced with polyester weft-inserted reinforcement. This reflective, heat-weldable TPO single-ply membrane is used on low-slope roofs and meets or exceeds ASTM D 6878.

The technical information sheet is TIS 201, dated July 2, 2026, and covers 45 mil and 60 mil sheets. The membrane is installed as a continuous roofing or waterproofing layer, with rolls overlapped at side laps and end laps before the seams are heat welded.

The two nominal thicknesses are 0.045 inch (1.14 mm), plus or minus 10 percent, and 0.060 inch (1.52 mm), plus or minus 10 percent. The 45 mil membrane weighs 0.23 lb/ft² (1.1 kg/m²) and the 60 mil membrane weighs 0.31 lb/ft² (1.5 kg/m²). The minimum overall thickness for ASTM D 6878 is 0.039 inch (1 mm).

Both thicknesses are listed in the same widths and lengths.

• 5 ft x 100 ft (1.5 x 30.5 m): white, tan, gray.
• 5 ft x 200 ft (1.5 x 61 m): white.
• 6 ft 2 in x 100 ft (1.9 x 30.5 m): white, tan, gray.
• 8 ft x 100 ft (2.4 x 30.5 m): white, tan, gray.
• 8 ft x 200 ft (2.4 x 61 m): white.
• 10 ft x 100 ft (3.0 x 30.5 m): white, tan, gray.
• 10 ft x 200 ft (3.0 x 61 m): white.
• 12 ft 4 in x 100 ft (3.8 x 30.5 m): white, tan, gray.
• 12 ft 4 in x 200 ft (3.8 x 61 m): white.

The product range listing gives widths of 5 ft, 8 ft, 10 ft and 12 ft and thicknesses of .045 inch, .060 inch and .080 inch. The panels are reflective white, tan or gray.

• Membrane type: hot-air welded.
• Resistances listed: ozone, chemicals and puncture.
• White and tan: meet the California Title 24 cool roof standard, which sets a minimum three-year aged reflectance of 0.55 and a minimum thermal emittance of 0.75 for low-slope nonresidential buildings.
• White and tan: listed with the Cool Roof Rating Council.
• Formulation: unchanged for over 20 years.

Typical values are given for 45 mil and 60 mil, followed by the ASTM D 6878 minimum.

• Coating over scrim (D 7635): 0.017 inch (0.43 mm) and 0.021 inch (0.53 mm); minimum 0.015 inch (0.38 mm).
• Breaking strength (D 751 grab method): 340 lbf (1,512 N) and 390 lbf (1,735 N); minimum 220 lbf (979 N).
• Elongation of reinforcement break: 25 percent on both; minimum 15 percent.
• Tearing strength (D 751): 120 lbf (534 N) on both; minimum 55 lbf (245 N).
• Brittleness point (D 2137): clears the -40 °F (-40 °C) minimum on both thicknesses.
• Ozone resistance (D 1149): pass with no cracks.
• Puncture resistance (FTM 101C, Method 2031): 265 (1,180) and 300 (1,300).
• Dynamic puncture resistance (D 5635), machine direction: pass at 20 J and 40 J; cross direction: pass at 35 J and 50 J.
• Static puncture resistance (D 5602): pass at 25 kg on both.
• Air permeance of the membrane material (E 2178): pass, against a limit of less than 0.004 ft³/ft² (0.02 L/(s·m²)).

After 32 weeks (224 days) of heat aging at 240 °F (116 °C) under ASTM D 573, both thicknesses retain more than 90 percent of breaking strength and elongation at break and more than 60 percent of tearing strength. Weight change and linear dimension change at 158 °F (70 °C) for 6 hours are each below 1 percent, and water absorption under D 471 is below 3 percent.

Weather resistance under ASTM G 155 is above 60,000 kJ/m² against a 10,800 kJ/m² minimum, using a 176 °F (80 °C) black panel with no cracking or crazing around a 3 inch (76.2 mm) mandrel at 7X.

Cool Roof Rating Council values are initial / 3-year.

• The white membrane, rated product ID 0008, measures solar reflectance of 0.79 initial and 0.69 aged, emittance of 0.85 and 0.83, and SRI of 98 and 83.
• The light tan (HR) membrane, rated product ID 0091, measures 0.73 and 0.66 reflectance, 0.90 and 0.91 emittance, and SRI of 90 and 87.
• The gray membrane, rated product ID 0032, measures 0.34 reflectance for both readings, 0.89 and 0.88 emittance, and SRI of 37 and 36.

The licensed manufacturer ID is 0608 and the classification is Production Line. White and light tan pass LEED initial SRI (98 and 90, minimum 85) and 3-year aged SRI (83 and 87, minimum 64). Their 3-year aged values meet the Title 24 minimums of 0.63 reflectance, 0.75 emittance and SRI 75, and pass the IgCC 3-year aged SRI minimum of 64. White and light tan are Solar Ready, and all three colors are Vegetative Ready. Recycled content is 0 percent post-consumer and 15 percent post-industrial.

Substrates are clean, dry, smooth and free of sharp edges, fins, loose material, oil and grease, and voids wider than ¼ inch (6.3 mm) are filled. The roofing system is installed under current Elevate UltraPly TPO specifications, details and workmanship requirements. The membrane burns when exposed to open flame and is stored away from ignition sources and puncture hazards.
