TPO

Installed Cost Value

Other white membranes command a premium price, but thanks to manufacturing technology originally developed in the automotive industry (impact and UV resistant bumpers), a Mule-Hide TPO Roof is “The Affordable White Roof”.

Reinforced TPO

  • White, gray, tan (other colors by special order)
  • Also available in Fleece Back versions
  • Thermoplastic polyolefin based for superior strength and weatherability
  • Lightweight yet highly resistant to tears, impact, punctures, and wind uplift
  • Ideal for both new construction and reroofing
  • Reinforced membrane easily handles building thermal expansion and contraction
  • Meets or exceeds ASTM performance standards.

Environmentally Friendly

  • No plasticizer migration
  • No chlorine
  • Recyclable

TPO System Benefits

Energy Efficient Roofs

White surfaces have been shown to reflect up to 78% of the sun’s rays to reduce air-conditioning costs. The superb reflectivity of white TPO even reduces the heat build-up under the membrane.

The Best Lifecycle

TPO provides excellent resistance to fire, UV, airborne bacteria, and industrial pollutants such as air-conditioning coolants. Contains no chlorine, a plus for the environment.

Lower Labor Costs

Available in widths of 8′, 10′, and 12′ for less seams and less labor compared to standard PVC sheets.

Thinker Top Ply

More product on top of the scrim where you need it most, one of the thickest top plies in the industry.

Strength

Keeps moisture out, yet lightweight, making it ideal for new construction and retrofit installations without adding excessive weight to the roof deck. TPO can handle the desert sun, sand, arctic freezes, and torrential downpours. Stands up to rooftop traffic, tools, and equipment.

Flexibility

The membrane remains flexible in hot and cold temperatures so it will not split or crack.

Repairable

TPO membrane remains repairable year after year, allowing for ease of future cutouts, alterations and tie-ins.

Can be cleaned to retain like-new appearance.

EPDM

Mule-Hide membranes are manufactured under strict quality control and are available in a wide range of sheet sizes, lengths and membrane thicknesses through the largest nationwide distribution channel.

Standard Black EPDM Membrane

The most economical singly-ply membrane. Ideal for ballasted and fully adhered systems.

Standard Reinforced EPDM Membrane

Reinforced with tough polyester fabric for superior fatigue, tear, and puncture resistance Ideal for mechanically attached systems.

White-on-Black EPDM Membrane

Reflects the sunlight and cools the building interior leading to lower BTU usage and energy costs.

EPDM System Benefits

  • The Fully Adhered System using Acrylic Water Base Bonding Adhesive for fast installation means maximized installed cost value
  • Fully Adhered Systems are ideally suited for irregular building configurations as well as steeply sloped commercial roofs, using solvent-based adhesive
  • Simple and versatile Mule-Hide Tape Products make installation faster and easier
  • UL and FM listed assemblies available

Strength

EPDM is a high tensile strength, single-ply membrane ideal for long-term watertight integrity. EPDM is lightweight, ideal for new construction and retrofit systems without adding excessive weight to the roof deck.

Flexibility

The membrane remains flexible in hot and cold temperatures so it will not split or crack.

Long Lifecycle

It provides excellent resistance to ozone and UV and can handle the coldest winters or the desert heat.
