Storage & Handling

Storage
  • Store away from sources of punctures and physical damage.
  • Assure that structural decking will support the loads incurred by material when stored on rooftop. The deck load limitations should be specified by the project designer.
  • Store away from ignition sources as membrane will burn when exposed to open flame.
  • Platinum PT membrane should be installed within one year after production. Store in original unopened packaging indoors at 60 °F to 80 °F (15.6 °C to 26.7 °C). Protect the tape portion from physical damage, and the Platinum PT membrane from puncture sources.
