Siplast, a Standard Industries company, announced the national launch of Parasolo TPX, its first-ever thermoplastic polyolefin solution (TPO), providing customers with a viable alternative to PVC with the same promise of cost-effectiveness and reliability attached to any Siplast product offering. Compatible with all single-ply systems including mechanically-attached, induction welded, and adhered, Parasolo TPX can help to save time and labor.
Parasolo TPX is particularly suitable for high-heat environments since its white membrane features a robust blend of premium materials that both enhances solar-reflectiveness and provides long-term heat and UV resistance. Boasting a three 3-year age reflectance of 0.72, Parasolo TPX can help reduce rooftop temperatures and urban heat island effects, and supports the use of efficient bi-facial solar panels.
Its engineering enables it to withstand certain extreme weather conditions including elevated levels of UV radiation and extreme temperature fluctuations, testing at more than four times the industry standard for weather resistance. Meeting the NSF P151 standard for rainwater catchment components, Parasolo TPX also empowers designers and builders to meet sustainability goals across their project portfolio.
The new Parasolo TPX membrane will be on display at the 2024 International Institute of Building Enclosure Consultants (IIBEC) conference from March 8 – 11 in Phoenix.
