The designer and contractor may refer to this section for information with regard to the individual components:

installation, coverage rate, basic physical properties, packaging, shelf life, storage conditions and safety precau-

tions. In addition to these components, other products and accessories not supplied by Firestone will have to be

used in conjunction with the Firestone Roofing Systems such as structural decking, thermal insulation, fasteners,

edging profiles, drain outlets, etc. It is the responsibility of the respective suppliers of these products as to their

suitability for any particular purpose.

At the same time, it is recommended that the designer and/or contractor consults Firestone on a job to job

basis, when using non-Firestone products that are not in compliance with the specifications outlined in this

document.

UltraPly™ TPO Roofing Membrane

1. Description

Firestone UltraPly TPO is a flexible Thermoplastic Polyolefin (FPO) roofing membrane made from the incorporation of a ethylene propylene rubber into a polypropylene matrix and produced with a polyester weft inserted reinforcement.

2. Preparation

Roofing structure needs to be stable enough to support the temporary loading. Substrates need to be clean, smooth, dry and free of sharp edges, loose or foreign materials, oil, grease and other materials that may damage the membrane. All surface voids greater than 6 mm wide shall be properly filled with an acceptable fill material.

3. Application

Place the membrane panel over the substrate and allow it to relax for at least 30 minutes before seaming or flashing. Membranes are overlapped (side laps and end laps) in accordance with the installation instructions and details. Seams are heat-welded.

4. Coverage

The dimensions of the membrane are calculated to cover the substrate, including seam overlaps (75 mm for standard seams – 150 mm for seams with mechanical anchoring in the seam) and upstands. Provide an additional length (150 mm) at upstands for easy manipulation.

5. Characteristics

Physical Excellent durability and tear and puncture resistance

UltraPly™ TPO Penetration Pocket Kit

Firestone Item Number: W56TPO301P (white)

W56TPOG01P (gray)

1. Description

The TPO Penetration Pocket is designed for use with Firestone UltraPly TPO Systems. The Firestone TPO Penetration Pocket Kit consists of 6 each of the following: a nominal 152 mm ID Schedule 40-PVC ring and a TPO Penetration Pocket. In addition, there are two heavy-duty stir sticks and a 0.1 l can of TPO QuickPrime. Firestone Pourable Sealer is not packaged with the Kit, but must be used to complete the installation.

2. Preparation

Remove existing flashing materials, rust, dirt, etc., from penetration prior to installing the TPO Penetration Pocket.

3. Application

Step 1Seal around the penetration prior to installation to prevent Pourable Sealer from flowing into the roof system and possibly into the building.Step 2 Open the PVC ring and place around the penetration.Step 3If required, cut the TPO Penetration Pocket through the flange and side in one place and install it over the PVC ring so that the ring fits completely inside the top overhang of the pocket.Step 4If cut in #3, then cut a piece of TPO flashing long enough to cover the cut in the pocket and the membrane. Heat weld the flashing on the vertical cut in the pocket and to the lip in the cavity.Step 5Center the pocket around the penetration and weld the flange to the membrane. Next, if needed, weld the flashing onto the flange and cut membrane. Weld and roll the flange step-off thoroughly.Step 6After the welds cool, apply the TPO QuickPrime with the dauber to all areas of the penetration and all surfaces that the pourable sealer will contact within the cavity. Make sure that the top of the pocket is primed also.Step 7Allow the primer to dry and add pourable sealer, being careful to mound it from the penetration to the top of the pocket to shed water away from the penetration.

4. Coverage

1 pocket per penetration.

UltraPly™ TPO Premium Walkway Pad

Firestone Item Number: W56TPO3019P

1. Description

The Firestone UltraPly TPO Premium Walkway Pad is a non-reinforced walkway composed of thermoplastic material. The pad has a slip-resistant textured surface and a smooth bottom surface.The Walkway Pad is required in areas where necessary rooftop traffic will occur to help protect the roofing system from unnecessary damage as follows: at all access points (ladders, hatches, doorways, etc.) to the roof, as a walkway system on roofs subjected to traffic more frequently than once per month.

2. Preparation

Prior to heat welding the Walkway Pad to the TPO Roofing System, the membrane needs to be clean and free of dirt, dust or debris. Allow it to relax sufficiently. For best results, installation of the pad should occur during the warmest part of the day. Installing the Walkway Pad in colder temperatures can cause the sheet to expand later and cause buckling. Cut the material into manageable lengths (maximum 3 m) and place the TPO Premium Walkway Pad over the TPO Roofing System with the textured side up.

3. Application

Heat weld the perimeters of each Walkway Pad section to the UltraPly TPO roof membrane using techniques similar to splicing of the UltraPly TPO Roofing System membrane panels. The perimeter should be heat welded in 3 m long sections, allowing for a 200 mm space between sections. Different welding settings might be required because of the thickness of the Walkway Pad. Special attention must be given when welding occurs over roof membrane seams, to assure that a proper weld is achieved, and no damage to the membrane seams occurs.

4. Coverage

In accordance with length of detail.

UltraPly™ Bonding Adhesive

Firestone Item Number : W56TPO3005

1. Description

Firestone UltraPly Bonding Adhesive is a solvent based contact adhesive designed specifically for bonding Firestone UltraPly TPO membranes to approved insulations in addition to wood, metal, masonry and other acceptable substrates.

2. Preparation

Surfaces that will receive Firestone UltraPly Bonding Adhesive must be clean, smooth, dry, free of sharp edges, loose and foreign materials, oil, grease, and other contaminants. The mating surface shall be cleaned with a brush or clean rag. Stir the adhesive thoroughly (to achieve a uniform mix with no sediment on the bottom and no marbling evident) before and during use. Restore the adhesive to room temperature prior to use, if exposed to temperatures lower than 15°C for a prolonged period.

3. Application

Apply Bonding Adhesive at about the same time to both the exposed underside of the sheet and the substrate to which it will be adhered so as to allow approximately the same drying time.

Apply Bonding Adhesive evenly avoiding areas of accumulation. Apply the Bonding Adhesive with a solvent resistant paint roller, and roll the adhesive onto the mating surfaces. When applying Bonding Adhesive, ensure complete uniform coverage of both surfaces that will be adhered. Care must be taken not to apply Bonding Adhesive over seam areas.

UltraPly Bonding Adhesive can be dispensed by means of RoofTop SuperSpreader in order to achieve a more uniform coverage and obtain higher coverage rates.

4. Coverage

Coverage rates depend on the smoothness of substrate and method of application. Manual application: between 5 and 7 m² per gallon (two sides). SuperSpreader: between 7 and 9 m² per gallon (two sides).

Some insulation surfaces are more uneven and porous and will result in a lower coverage rate while smooth non-porous substrates will result in higher coverage rates.Very porous substrates (rough wood, concrete block) may require two coats of Bonding Adhesive, to ensure pro-per adhesion. This can be determined by testing a small area. Check by adhering a small piece of UltraPly TPO membrane to the porous substrate to verify the bonding strength.

5. Characteristics

Physical Excellent resistance to aging

Good resistance to heat, cold

Excellent tack time for versatility of installation

Outstanding adhesion to approved substrates for maximum performance

Technical Base Blend of Neoprene and SBR rubbers
