Is FiberTite a TPO?

Is FiberTite a TPO?

FiberTite is 5 times more puncture resistant than 50ml, 60ml, or 80ml TPO or PVC membranes. Chemical resistance. FiberTite’s flexible solid polymer membrane, Ketone Ethylene Ester (KEE), provides vastly superior chemical resistance to asphaltic products, oils, greases, and even jet fuel.

What type of roof is FiberTite?

single-ply roofing membrane
Currently, FiberTite is the only single-ply roofing membrane that meets the stringent ASTM D6754 standard, which requires the proper utilization of DuPont™ Elvaloy® Ketone Ethylene Ester (KEE).

What is FiberTite made of?

DuPont™ Elvaloy® is the polymeric backbone of FiberTite’s face coat technology. A 30-year proven formula, this layer provides superior UV and chemical resistance, inhibits crazing and cracking, and allows the membrane to remain flexible over the long haul in any rooftop environment.

Is FiberTite a PVC?

FiberTite is a high-performance technology, consisting of a base layer of fabric. This layer is puncture and tear resistant, making it much more beneficial than a traditional, thick PVC membrane. The knit design incorporates more fibre, making it unmatchable in strength and reliability.

What is Kee roofing?

KEE is an abbreviation for Ketone Ethylene Ester, a high-molecular-weight polymer. with elastomeric properties and favorable melting properties for thermoplastic. processing. Although KEE is most commonly used in roofing, it is also used in. geomembranes for secondary containment for petrochemical storage and other.

What is PVC Kee?

JM PVC with the optimal amount of DuPont™ Elvaloy® KEE is a heat weldable polyvinyl chloride thermoplastic membrane that provides superior resistance against oil, fuels, and other hard chemicals.

Is Kee a PVC?

KEE, or ketone ethylene ester, is a PVC polymer membrane that includes KEE along with the other standard but more volatile plasticizers. The difference between PVC and KEE is that PVC membrane is comprised of over 50 percent PVC, while the KEE roofing membrane is over 50 percent KEE.

What is the difference between a TPO and PVC roof?

TPO roofing membranes consist of an ethylene or polyethylene thermoplastic bound to ethylene propylene rubber. PVC roofing membranes are made by polymerizing vinyl chloride monomers, then adding plasticizers to increase flexibility.

What is Kee PVC roofing?

KEE is a high molecular-weight polymer additive that provides multiple performance benefits to the PVC that regular liquid plasticizers do not offer. For a roofing membrane to be classified as a true KEE sheet, it must contain at least 50 percent KEE polymer content by weight.

Is Sarnafil PVC?

Sarnafil® G 410-18 EL Felt is a PVC, multi-layer, fully adhered, lacquered matt finish, weldable sheet membrane with a glass fibre reinforcing inlay and polyester fleece backing for roof waterproofing.

Why choose a fibertite roof membrane?

FiberTite roof membranes have exceeded expectations for more than 35 years. From the most demanding roof installations to less complex jobs, FiberTite works for virtually any commercial roofing project.

Why choose freedomfibertite roofing systems?

FiberTite Roofing Systems provide operational security globally to the world’s most powerful brands with an innovative, high performance coated fabric membrane that has a unique, four layer technology providing puncture, chemical, and ponding water resistance

What is a fibertite roofing ballast?

This system uses ballasts such as river bottom stone or concrete pavers to secure the FiberTite membrane to the roof. FiberTite offers a complete line of pre-engineered metal accessories.

What is fibertite Green?

Combined with the FiberTite membrane, FiberTite Green allows for vegetative roof technology for sustainable and environmentally friendly applications. The great look of metal with the superior protection of FiberTite.
