1 Description
The roofing assembly / material information published in the RCABC Roofing Practices Manual does NOT represent a complete set of the manufacturers published data, nor does it represent a detailed specification. The preparation of a detailed specification is the responsibility of the design authority.
JM TPO-45, JM TPO-60, and JM TPO-80 are thermoplastic polyolefin (TPO) membranes reinforced with a polyester fabric, and designed for use in mechanically fastened and adhered roofing applications.
1.1 GENERAL
USE
- JM TPO membranes can be installed in new, reroof (tear-off) and recover roof constructions. In recover construction, if the existing roof is sound, the JM roof can eliminate the cost of disposing of the original roof.
COLOURS
White, Grey and Tan
- Special colors are available with extended lead times. Minimum order quantities may apply. Contact your local JM sales representative for additional information.
| Standard Sizes | ||
| Color | Width | Length |
| White | 4 ft. (1.2 m) | 100 ft. (30.5 m) |
| 6 ft. 2 in. (1.9 m) | 100 ft. (30.5 m) | |
| 8 ft. (2.4 m) | 100 ft. (30.5 m) | |
| 10 ft. (3.0 m) | 100 ft. (30.5 m) | |
| 12 ft. 4 in. (3.8 m) | 100 ft. (30.5 m) | |
| Grey and Tan | 4 ft. (1.2 m) | 100 ft. (30.5 m) |
| 8 ft. (2.4 m) | 100 ft. (30.5 m) | |
APPROVALS
- JM mechanically fastened and adhered TPO Roof Systems are classified by UL (Underwriters Laboratories, Inc.) and FM Global (Factory Mutual).

1.2 MATERIALS
| NOTE: Regardless of the materials listed below or anywhere else in these manufacturer's guidelines, only materials accepted for use in the RoofStar Guarantee Program, or accessories associated with those materials, may be used to qualify for a RoofStar Guarantee.

1.3 EXECUTION
- Because JM TPO membranes are thermoplastic, they can be rolled out onto the roof substrate and easily welded into one homogeneous sheet using hot air welding procedures.
- JM TPO membranes can be mechanically attached or adhered to the structural roof deck in accordance with FM Global requirements, building codes, published standard fastening patterns or adhesives recommendations.
- Refer to JM TPO application guides, Detail Drawings and Technical Bulletins for instructions.
- JM TPO membranes meet or exceed all of the requirements of ASTM D 6878.
