Is FiberTite a TPO?

UV resistance: FiberTite’s KEE formulation does not get thinner over time due to resistance to UV rays – unlike TPO or PVC products that need much thicker membranes to increase warranty length. Ease of repair: Unlike TPO and PVC, FiberTite retain does not lose its pliability when heat welded.

What type of roofing is FiberTite?

FiberTite is a unique ELVALOY™ Ketone Ethylene Ester (KEE) based roofing system that was invented over 35+ years ago.

What is FiberTite made of?

Ketone Ethylene Ester
FiberTite’s 4-Layer technology synthesizes nearly twice as much fiber as competitors, and features a unique adhesive coat and a proprietary ELVALOY™ Ketone Ethylene Ester based formula. It combines to make FiberTite a tougher, lighter, more flexible and durable roofing membrane.

What type of membrane is FiberTite?

single-ply roofing membrane
Currently, FiberTite is the only single-ply roofing membrane that meets the stringent ASTM D6754 standard, which requires the proper utilization of Dow ELVALOY™ Ketone Ethylene Ester (KEE).

Is FiberTite an EPDM?

The “fiber” in FiberTite is engineered using high denier polyester fibers, knitted into a tight 18×19 yarn pattern to create a virtual framework that ensures toughness. EPDM is a vulcanized rubber compound. Its standard black appearance is due to “carbon black” loading that provides good UV resistance.

Is PVC FiberTite?

FiberTite is a high-performance technology, consisting of a base layer of fabric. This layer is puncture and tear resistant, making it much more beneficial than a traditional, thick PVC membrane. The knit design incorporates more fibre, making it unmatchable in strength and reliability.

Does a flat roof need to be fire rated?

The building is an excellent example of a fire breaking out on a flat roof adjacent to other buildings and illustrates well the need to consider the external fire ratings of flat roofs, both to protect the inhabitants (the Penetration of the fire element) of the buildings but also the people and property nearby (more …
