TPO Roofing Membrane exceeds D6878 standards.

In 2012, GAF introduced EverGuard Extreme TPO, a patent-pending, next-generation TPO roofing membrane in 60 mil and 80 mil thicknesses. Unlike standard TPO, EverGuard Extreme Advanced Protection TPO incorporates proprietary technology that resists the damaging effects of high heat and UV, resulting in a TPO membrane with next-generation weathering performance. EverGuard Extreme can even meet the extremely demanding performance requirements of roofs that include building-integrated solar systems. These high-heat applications can literally fry standard TPO membranes after surprisingly short periods of use. EverGuard Extreme Advanced Protection TPO exceeds not only the weathering and heat-aging standards of D6878 but also all of the other critical performance standardsin fact, its performance far exceeds the minimum requirements!

Now, with the introduction of new 50 mil and 70 mil thicknesses, contractors can offer their customers the performance advantages of EverGuard Extreme Advanced Protection TPO at prices that are extremely competitive with standard 60 mil and 80 mil TPOand with equivalent guarantees (see EverGuard Diamond Pledge NDL Roof Guarantee for complete coverage and restrictions).

When we first introduced EverGuard Extreme TPO, it was targeted at the solar and high-heat markets. But with the addition of our new 50 mil and 70 mil thicknesses at competitive pricing, the products can be used to replace standard 60 mil and 80 mil TPO in virtually any conventional TPO application, stated Brian Impellizeri, marketing manager at GAF. Why would anyone pass up the performance advantages of EverGuard Extreme Advanced Protection TPO, when they can get it for virtually the same price and guarantee coverage as standard TPO?
