Product Data Sheet
FLEX FB 45 PLUS ELVALOY® ROOF SYSTEM
(76”and 120” Wide, Reinforced, Thermoplastic Roof Membrane)
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The Flex FB 45 Plus Elvaloy® Roofing Membrane is a high performance thermoplastic membrane
designed for adhered roofing applications. The Flex FB 45 Plus is produced with Dupont Elvaloy® KEE
at a thickness of 45 mils of polyester reinforced membrane plus a 5.50 oz. polyester fleece backing. The
Flex FB 45 Plus Elvaloy® Roofing Membrane is an effective choice for new or re-roofing installations as
the fleece backing allows the membrane to be installed directly over most substrates with hot steep asphalt
or Flex Substrate Adhesive.
FEATURES AND BENEFITS
· The wider sheet reduces installation cost and increases production.
· May be installed fully adhered to a wide range of substrates including structural or lightweight
concrete decks and various types of insulation.
· Has a high degree of resistance to exposure from harsh chemicals and extreme environments.
· The Elvaloy® formulation increases the ability of the membrane to remain flexible in
temperatures well below freezing.
· Ideal for applications where standard roofing membranes do not perform well such as heavy
industrial sites, airports, and food service facilities.
· The hot air welded seams allow the membrane to be installed in extreme low slope conditions as
ponding water has no effect on the membrane.
INSTALLATION
The Flex FB 45 Plus Elvaloy® Roofing Membrane may be installed fully adhered with either Type III or
IV hot steep asphalt or Flex Substrate Adhesive, a cold process water based asphalt emulsion adhesive.
The membrane may be installed directly over lightweight or structural concrete as well as a wide variety
of insulations. All seams of the Flex FB 45 Plus Elvaloy® Roofing Membrane are sealed by hot air
welding, recognized as the strongest seam in the roofing industry. Flex has a variety of cold process
roofing component configurations that allow for fast and efficient installation in areas that are restricted to
fumes or flames such as hospitals, schools, and heavily congested city centers or hard to reach areas.
APPROVALS
The Flex FB 45 Plus Elvaloy® Roofing Membrane exceeds the requirements of ASTM D4434 standard
for thermoplastic sheet roofing. The Flex FB Plus has been thoroughly tested by Factory Mutual and has
numerous applications meeting or exceeding Class 1-90. The Flex FB Plus has been approved for Class
A fire rating by Underwriters Laboratories. Due to the white heat reflective surface, Flex thermoplastic
membranes are approved by the EPA’s Energy Star® Program and the Cool Roof Rating Council
(CRRC).
