Product Data Sheet
FLEX 60 MIL TPO PLUS SA
(SELF ADHERED THERMOPLASTIC POLYOLEFIN MEMBRANE)
PRODUCT DISCRIPTION
Flex 60 TPO Plus SA mil thermoplastic polyolefin (TPO) is a self-adhered roof membrane with a hot air
weldable seam. The membrane is available in 2 colors, white and tan. The membrane is manufactured in
4 roll sizes: 5’x50’, 10’x50’, 5’x100’, and 10’x100’. Flex 60 TPO Plus SA membranes combine Flex’s
proven TPO technology with a proprietary factory applied adhesive pre-installed on the back of the sheet
for a labor saving installation. The membrane is specifically formulated for long-term weather resistance
without the use of either polymeric or liquid plasticizers. The pressure-sensitive adhesive is a 100%
solids, hot melt adhesive that eliminates VOC and odor concerns typically associated with fully adhered
systems. The adhesive is factory applied to provide uniform thickness yielding consistent field
performance. An uncoated edge is maintained to allow for hot air welded field seams. The release liner is
silicon coated on both sides to provide consistent, easy release from the adhesive even if either side
accidentally touches the adhesive again after removal.
FEATURES
· High tack, pressure sensitive adhesive
· Wide window of weldability
· Outstanding puncture resistance
· Chlorine-free with no halogenated flame retardants
· Plasticizer-free, does not contain liquid or polymeric plasticizers
· Excellent low temperature impact resistance
· Excellent chemical resistance to acids, bases and restaurant exhaust emissions
· Exceptional resistance to solar UV, ozone and oxidation
· Low water vapor permeance and water absorption
· Polyester reinforcing fabric which is resistant to degradation by bacteria, mildew and fungi

INSTALLATION
The Flex 60 TPO Plus SA Roofing Systems is fast to install since minimal labor and few components are
required. The Flex self-adhered membrane application begins with the insulation/underlayment being
attached per the required attachment specification.
1. The Flex 60 TPO Plus SA Membrane may only be installed when the outdoor temperature is 50° F
or rising.
2. The surface to which the membrane is to be applied must be very clean. Prior to membrane
placement, the surface of the insulation or underlayment board must be cleaned of dust and other
foreign matter using a fine push broom or a blower.
CAUTIONS AND WARNINGS
A static electric charge may develop when removing the poly release liner from the elastomeric
pressure sensitive adhesive on the back of the membrane sheet. To avoid the possibility of ignition,
