Key Data Set Information
Location US
Geographical representativeness description This declaration models the production in the plant Wellford TPO of Holcim in US.
Reference year 2025
Name
UltraPly TPO Membrane 1.1 mm
Use advice for data set Type of EPD: Cradle to gate with options, modules A4-5, C1-C4, and D. Module A1: Extraction and processing of raw materials. Module A2: Transportation of raw material to the manufacturing plant. Module A3: Membrane production at the plant and waste treatment. Module A4: Transportation to the construction site. Module A5: Includes all processes associated with product installation, as well as the production, transportation, and treatment of unused membrane. Includes therefore all additional material due to material overlap which is considered as installation loss.. Module C1: Demolition/Dismantling of the waterproofing layer. Module C2: Transportation of mixed roofing material waste for processing. Module C3: Incineration of membrane. Module C4: Final disposal in sanitary landfill. Module D: Credits and burdens beyond the lifecycle.
Technical purpose of product or process The TPO roofing membrane is used in low-slope buildings for commercial, industrial and residential application, to protect from water penetration, ensuring structural integrity and durability.

Technological representativeness
Technology description including background system TPO is a flexible sheet single-ply roof membrane made from thermoplastic polyolefin as the principal polymer. Physical properties of the membrane are enhanced by a strong weft inserted polyester reinforcement that is encapsulated between top and bottom plies, hence providing excellent tensile strength, tear resistance, elongation as well as excellent puncture resistance. It is classified as a thermoplastic material with the seams of the roofing system sealed by heat welding with hot air. UltraPly TPO membranes come in white, gray and tan color, with white being the most common. The membranes are sold in a variety of widths and thicknesses.
