🌍 TPO Membranes: Eco-Friendly Waterproofing Solutions;
Since the mid-1990s, the construction industry has undergone a green transformation, replacing traditional bituminous membranes with synthetic alternatives.
Among these, TPO membranes—created by synthesizing polypropylene-based polyolefins—have rapidly gained popularity due to their environmental compatibility and exceptional durability.
What Is TPO?
TPO stands for Thermoplastic Polyolefin, a type of synthetic membrane used in waterproofing. It is part of a broader family of polyolefin membranes, which may also be labeled as:
- FPA – Flexible Polypropylene Alloy
- FPO – Flexible Polyolefin
These membranes are free of plasticizers, which gives them superior resistance to:
- UV radiation
- Atmospheric conditions
- Chemical reactions
- Wear and tear over time
🏗️ Application Areas
TPO membranes are versatile and can be used across a wide range of waterproofing needs:
Application Area Description
Lightweight Roofs Ideal for trapezoidal sheet metal roofs
Green Roofs Suitable for vegetated roofing systems
Panel Roofs Used in prefabricated building structures
Pond / Canal Insulation Effective for water retention systems
Reinforced Concrete Roofs & Terraces Reliable for traditional flat roofs"
