Description
UltraPly TPO SA with Secure Bond™ Technology is a heat weldable, flexible thermoplastic polyolefin (TPO)
membrane with a factory applied pressure sensitive adhesive. Designed to be the next generation in fully
adhered roof system application, Elevate’s Secure Bond Technology helps ensure uniform adhesion across the
entire membrane, creating a powerful bond. This advanced technology not only improves installation speed
over traditional adhered application, but also widens the weather window with the ability to install down to
20 °F (-7 °C). With no VOC’s, UltraPly TPO SA with Secure Bond Technology is an excellent solution for all your
roofing needs. UltraPly TPO SA membrane meets or exceeds all the requirements for ASTM D6878-11 and
ASTM D6878M-17 & 19. The membrane is reinforced with a 9 x 9, 1,000 denier polyester weft-inserted fabric.
UltraPly TPO SA membrane is self-adhering. No primers or adhesives are required on horizontal surfaces, thus
eliminating Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs).

Product Preparation
1. Substrates must be clean, dry and free of foreign material such as grease and any debris which could
inhibit adhesion. This may require cleaning with a broom or blower.
2. Fasten insulation per current Elevate technical specifications to provide a proper substrate.
3. Install UltraPly TPO SA membrane only when ambient and substrate temperatures exceed 20 °F (-7 °C)
and rising. Do not install UltraPly TPO SA below this minimum temperature.
4. Apply Single-Ply QuickPrime Primer or Single-Ply LVOC Primer to vertical surfaces before installing
flashing membrane.
5. Unroll and position the membrane over the substrate to achieve the desired alignment and overlaps. Allow
membrane to relax before positioning and adhering. NOTE: Once membrane has fully relaxed, follow
application methods below to adhere the membrane to the approved substrate.

Method of Application
Field Membrane Application (Steps 1-5):
1. Once the membrane has relaxed in place a minimum of 30 minutes (longer in colder weather), and the
seam positions are aligned, carefully fold the sheet back approximately 10' (3.05 m) from one end to
expose the release liner without disturbing the original position of the membrane. NOTE: Fold the
membrane back from the end, not from the side.

Field Membrane Application (Steps 1-5) Continued:

2. Starting from the center split of the exposed release liner, remove the liner at a 45° angle from the
center of the sheet back beyond the membrane edge. Be sure to pull enough of the release liner to hold
below the membrane. Remove at least 5' (1.5 m) of release liner from one end of the sheet and adhere it
to the substrate. The removed liner should extend at a 45° angle beyond the edges of the membrane.
3. Keeping the membrane flat and secured, and the seam overlap aligned, continue removing the release
liner at a 45° angle along the entire length of the sheet: up to 100' (30.5 m). Pulling the release liner at
a higher angle can cause the sheet to move and may trap air. The two halves of the release liner should
be pulled out at the same time by two people. Keep the release liner as close to the roof surface as
possible during removal. NOTE: Removal of the liner and any handling of the exposed SA adhesive
should be completed by two persons minimum.
4. To initiate adhesion, use a stiff bristled broom and apply downward pressure across the installed
membrane. Broom the membrane from the center of the sheet working toward the edge.
5. Roll the installed membrane with a weighted roller (5 lb per lineal inch) across the width of the sheet to
ensure full contact with the substrate. NOTE: Do not roll membrane in place with a weighted roller if
installed over ISOGARD™ HD or Resista™ / ISOGARD CG.
Roof Edge (Gravel Stop, Gutter Edge) Membrane Application (Steps 1-5):
1. Once the membrane has relaxed in place a minimum of 30 minutes (longer in colder weather), and it is
positioned correctly along the roof edge, carefully fold the sheet back approximately 10' (3.05 m) from
one end to expose the release liner without disturbing the original position of the membrane. NOTE:
Fold the membrane back from the end, not from the side.
2. Starting with the outside (roof edge) portion of the release liner, carefully pull it beneath the membrane,
toward the field of the roof at a 45° angle to expose the SA adhesive without disturbing the original
position of the membrane. Next, pull the inside portion of the release liner beneath the membrane.
Maintain a 12" (305 mm) wide minimum separation between the two sections of liner. Back-roll the 10'
(3.05 m) exposed SA section into position onto the substrate without trapping any air beneath the sheet.
NOTE: Removal of the liner and any handling of the exposed SA adhesive should be completed by
two persons minimum.
3. Keeping the release liner as close to the roof surface as possible and maintaining a 10' (3.05 m) minimum
space between the two liner halves, pull both halves of the liner at a 45° angle along the length of the
roof edge. Pulling the release liner at a higher angle can cause the sheet to move and may trap air.
4. To initiate adhesion, use a stiff bristled broom and apply downward pressure across the installed
membrane. Broom the membrane from the center of the sheet working toward the edge.
5. Roll the installed membrane with a weighted roller (5 lb per lineal inch) across the width of the sheet to
ensure full contact with the substrate. NOTE: Do not roll membrane in place with a weighted roller
if installed over ISOGARD HD or Resista / ISOGARD CG.

Seaming
1. Follow current Elevate technical specifications for heat welding TPO membrane.
2. Side Laps are to be heat-welded. Each membrane panel has a 2" (51 mm) uncoated selvedge edge.
Overlap side laps and heat weld the 2" (51 mm) uncoated area to create a minimum 1½" (38 mm) robotic
welded seam.
3. End Laps – Because the pressure sensitive adhesive extends the entire length of the roll, all adjoining
rolls must be stripped in. Butt end laps together, then strip in the end lap with a minimum 8" (203 mm)
wide UltraPly TPO membrane cover strip, centered on the end lap and heat-welded along all edges. (Do
not allow primer to contaminate the area to be heat welded.)
4. Detailing – Install approved t-joint patches and apply UltraPly TPO Cut Edge Sealant as required by
UltraPly TPO general specification.

 Membrane stored on jobsite must be kept dry.
 Material must be a minimum of 20 °F (-7 °C) prior to installation.
 Store away from sources of physical damage.
 Make certain the 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.
