The most advanced sustainable polymer technology ever applied to a single roof concept 

LONG LIFE EXPECTANCY

The homogeneity of SpectraPlan® TPE basic polymers and the absence of softeners result in a chemically very stable compound. SpectraPlan® roofing sheets remain elastic almost indefinitely and barely age. They do not absorb moisture, do not degrade under UV and/or ozone exposure, do not leach and are rot resistant. SpectraPlan® TPE roofing sheets have exceptional chemical resistance and are compatible with all standard building materials. SpectraPlan® TPE roofing sheets can deservedly be considered as a further development and improvement of the current generation of TPO roofing sheets. The life expectancy of SpectraPlan® TPE roofing systems is at least 25 years. 

ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY AND RECYCLABLE

SpectraPlan® TPE roofing sheets are particularly environmentally friendly stand out sharply from chlorine containing polymer roofing sheets in this feature. SpectraPlan® TPE roofing sheets are free of halogens (Chlorine, Fluorine, Bromine and Iodine), softeners, (H)CFCs and heavy metals. TPE polymer is homogeneous and pure, so that recycling as a durable raw material in new primary end products is possible at the end of its long lifespan. SpectraPlan® TPE roofing systems do not leach and can be installed for all sorts of water storage and on roofs where rainwater is discharged to surface drainage. 

SAFE AND RELIABLE INSTALLATION

SpectraPlan® TPE roofing sheets are thermally welded using hot air. No noxious or irritating vapours or smoke are released during the welding process. SpectraPlan® TPE roofing sheets contrast sharply with all commercially available thermoplasts thanks to their unique and broad welding range and the excellent flow behaviour of the TPE polymer. This results in fast installation with a high degree of certainty and excellent quality of the weld, which is stronger than the actual roofing sheet itself. The use of noxious detergents is not required following the welding. SpectraPlan® TPE roofing sheets can be easily processed even at the highest summer temperatures and also remain flexible under cold winter conditions. SpectraPlan® TPE roofing systems can even be applied on roofs under extreme loads such as rooftop car parks and roof gardens. 

OPTIMAL FIRE SAFETY FOR PEOPLE AND THE ENVIRONMENT

SpectraPlan® TPE roofing systems are fire resistant in accordance with the new stringent European fire standard ENV1187. The fire retardants used in SpectraPlan® TPE polymer are free of halogens and non-toxic. This means that no irritating gases are released while thermally welding the lap joints. In case of fire SpectraPlan® TPE roofing sheets do not contribute to the smoke load and no toxic gases are released; nor does any flame extension take place due to melting TPE polymer dripping down.  

HIGH RESISTANCE TO WIND UPLIFT

The SpectraFix® mechanical fastening system has been specifically designed for SpectraPlan® SM roofing sheets. It includes corrosion resistant screws and washer plates, flat bars for clamping frames, and is applicable to any substrate suitable for mechanical attachment. The combination of SpectraFix® mechanical fastening system with the exceptional mechanical properties of SpectraPlan® SM TPE roofing sheets results in a particularly high capacity to absorb forces and divert them to the substructure. This makes it feasible to calculate a cost-effective fastening system for each and every project.  

MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR FRIENDLY

SpectraPlan® TPE roofing systems do not absorb moisture and are only affected by dirt-pickup to a very small degree. This means that it remains possible to make repairs or add additional details at all times. SpectraPlan® TPE roofing systems are easy to clean with solutions of soft soap, using a soft broom or rubber wiper. High-pressure cleaners can also be used.
