Vistamaxx™ propylene-based elastomers add flexibility in TPO single-ply roof membranes
Vistamaxx™ propylene-based elastomers provide excellent compatibility with other polymer systems and high filler-loading capability in thermoplastic olefin (TPO) roofing formulations.
Potential benefits include:
- Improved flexibility for ease of installation and repair
- Increased seam and peel strength for durability and long life
- Wider weld window for ease of installation and weld-strength assurance
Formulations with Vistamaxx propylene-based elastomer support brand owners’ long warranty coverage and demands for a strong, durable and flexible membrane. Typical Vistamaxx concentration is 5-20% for this type of application.
Other polymers used in TPO roof membrane compounds include Exact™ plastomers and Vistalon™ EPDM rubber . These polymers contribute to the flexibility and low-temperature properties you want in your roof sheeting formulations.
