Designed for attachment directly to plywood and oriented strand board (OSB) roof decks, TPO Fleece Back FR membranes from Mule-Hide Products Co. deliver a UL Class A fire rating without the need for a fire-retardant barrier board or slip sheet.
Fleece reinforcement gives the membrane an added layer of protection against punctures. Splinters from OSB and plywood roof decks will not create holes in the membrane. More puncture-resistant than modified bitumen membranes, it stands up to hail and damaging debris.
Large sheet sizes and a wide window of weldability allows for installation ease. TPO Fleece Back FR is available in 10-by-50-foot and 10-by-100-foot sizes, reducing the number of seams to weld by 67 percent. The ability to weld at a range of temperature and humidity also means fewer stops to adjust the settings on the automatic welder and perform a test weld.
TPO Fleece Back FR membranes remain flexible in low temperatures and offer resistance to impacts. They also stand up to acids, bases and restaurant exhaust emissions without degradation.
Like all Mule-Hide Products TPO membranes, TPO Fleece Back FR membranes include the Mule-Hide Products Weathering Package, ensuring that the membrane will withstand exposure to severe climate conditions. The weathering package is comprised of three heat-stabilizing antioxidants, three ultraviolet (UV) light stabilizers and two UV light absorbers, making the membrane resistant to heat, sun, ozone and oxidation.
TPO Fleece Back FR membranes contain no chlorine, plasticizers or volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and are odor-free, making them an environment-, crew- and building occupant-friendly choice.
