TPO ROOF
WATERPROOFING

WHAT IS TPO ROOFING?

Commercial and industrial buildings use TPO (Thermoplastic Olefin) roofing systems because of its strength and performance over other roofing materials. A TPO roof is a single-ply roof membrane made from ethylene propylene rubber. These membranes combine the strength of EPDM rubber with the amazing sealability of hot-air sealable closures. As with any roofing material, TPO roofs need to be maintained and protected to last. One of the best ways to protect TPO roofs and improve its waterproofing is to apply polyurea coatings. Let’s get into the benefits and how-to of TPO roof waterproofing with polyurea coatings.

BENEFITS OF ARMORTHANE
POLYUREA TPO ROOF WATERPROOFING

ArmorThane polyurea coatings are a great addition to TPO roofing. They offer many benefits such as waterproofing, a seamless barrier to prevent water intrusion and extend the life of the TPO roof. ArmorThane’s polyurea coatings are durable against UV, weathering and chemicals so building owners save long term and short term. The flexibility and crack bridging of ArmorThane’s polyurea coatings will accommodate the movement and shifting of TPO roofs and provide a watertight seal. And the fast cure and application of ArmorThane’s polyurea coatings means quick project completion with minimal disruption to building occupants. Overall ArmorThane’s polyurea over TPO roof waterproofing is a reliable long term solution that performs efficiently and durably.

Superior Waterproofing:

Polyurea coatings add waterproofing to TPO roofs. Polyurea coating technology creates a monolithic membrane over the TPO coating. This barrier is a highly effective shield against water intrusion and extends the life of the TPO roof and the building beneath.

Durability and Longevity:

TPO roofs are already durable but polyurea coatings take it to the next level. Polyurea coatings are UV, weathering and chemical resistant so the TPO roof will be protected long term. This means less maintenance and cost savings for the building owner.

Flexibility and Crack Bridging:

TPO roofs move and settle due to temperature fluctuations or building settlement. Polyurea coatings are flexible and can move with the TPO roof without cracking or compromising the waterproofing. The ability to bridge cracks and gaps keeps the TPO roof intact and prevents water intrusion.

Rapid Curing and Energy Efficiency:

Polyurea coatings have fast cure times so you can complete the project quick and with minimal disruption to the building occupants. Polyurea can be applied in various ambient conditions, hot or cold, high or low humidity so it can be applied year round. TPO roofs are known for their energy efficiency and by applying polyurea coatings you can increase that efficiency. The reflective nature of polyurea coatings will reflect the sun and reduce heat absorption. This means lower cooling costs and better indoor comfort.
