PREPARATION
Roofing structure needs to be stable enough to support the temporary loading. Substrates need to be clean, smooth, dry and free of sharp edges, loose or foreign materials, oil, grease and other materials that may damage the membrane. All surface voids greater than 5mm wide shall be properly filled with an acceptable fill material.
APPLICATION
Place Xander TPO Seal 198 as close as possible to its final position. Inspect the wrapper and TPO roll for damage before and during the installation Unroll Xander TPO Seal 198 membrane and prior to any attachment, cutting or welding, allow each panel to relax a minimum of 30 minutes. Cut a cross-shaped opening above every drain to evacuate excess ponding water, in case of sudden rainfall
Xander TPO Seal 198 panels shall be installed in a fashion so that field and flashing splices are installed to shed water. Straight cuts are very important for a neat and easy application
Allow ample material for splicing determined by the type of seam and tie-ins.
Temporary ballasting during installation may be required to keep the membrane in place until it is secured to the substrate. Suggested temporary ballasting includes sand bags and other non-abrasive materials such as rubber tires, etc. Never leave the project without temporary ballasting loose laid sheets.
COVERAGE
The dimensions of the membrane are calculated to cover the substrate, including seam overlaps (75 mm for standard seams 150 mm for seams with mechanical anchoring in the seam) and up stands. Provide an additional length (150mm) at up stands for easy manipulation.
