Product Data Sheet
FLEX FB 45 TPO PLUS ROOF SYSTEMS
(FLEECE BACKED, REINFORCED,THERMOPLASTIC POLYOLEFIN MEMBRANE)
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The Flex FB 45 TPO Plus (thermoplastic polyolefin) polyester reinforced fleece backed roofing
membranes are designed for use in new or re-roofing roofing systems. The Flex FB TPO Plus
membranes are manufactured in widths of 5’ and 10’x100’ for economical installations. The Flex FB 45
TPO Plus membranes are available in 3 standard colors white, tan and gray. Flex FB 45 TPO Plus
membranes offer the proven weathering resistance of rubber (derived from its high ethylene propylene
rubber content) combined with the thermoplastic properties of polypropylene. The combination results in
a roofing membrane with hot air welded seams and the durability of EPDM roofing membranes. The
Flex FB 45 TPO Plus membranes polyester reinforcement allows for structural movement with no
splitting or cracking. The combination of the reinforcing scrim, fleece backing and the TPO membrane
provide Flex FB 45 TPO Plus membrane with high breaking strength, tearing strength and puncture
resistance. The specially formulated membrane offers excellent resistance to solar UV and chemical
exposure as well as remaining flexible in cold temperatures.
USE
Flex FB 45 TPO Plus membrane can be installed in new, re-roof (tear-off) and recover roof constructions.
In recover construction, if the existing roof is structurally acceptable, the Flex roof system can save the
cost of disposing of the original roof system. Flex FB 45 TPO Plus membranes can be adhered directly
over layers of approved roof board insulation or cover boards. The Flex FB 45 TPO Plus membrane may
also be secured to the deck using an approved mechanically fastened system utilizing methods that have
been independently tested for wind uplift. The Flex FB 45 TPO Plus membranes are true thermoplastics,
therefore all seams are sealed by the hot air welding method creating a seam as strong as the original
membrane.
