- Applications
- Method of Application
- Substrates must be clean, dry, smooth, and free of sharp edges, fins, loose or foreign materials, oil, grease, and other materials that may damage the membrane.
- All rough surfaces that can damage the membrane shall be repaired as specified to offer a smooth substrate.
- All surface voids greater than 1⁄4" (6.3 mm) wide shall be properly filled with an acceptable fill material.
- UltraPly TPO XR membrane may be fully adhered using Firestone XR Bonding Adhesive, I.S.O.SprayTM R Insulation Adhesive or hot asphalt; or adhered in adhesive beads using XR StickTM Adhesive. UltraPly TPO XR Membrane can also be mechanically attached.

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.
