Dow roofing membranes solutions

Whether you’re working with TPO-, PVC- or EPDM-based systems, our roofing membrane science can offer:

Flexibility that lasts, even in thicker sheet installations

Long-term durability for life expectancy of 20+ years

Weatherability/UV resistance that meets or exceeds appropriate industrial standards

Fire performance with halogen-free, low-smoke, low-ignitability, and low-fuel load options

Light color/cool roof formulations to reduce heat absorption

Multiple attachment options, including fully adhered, heat welded, mechanical, and/or ballasted systems

Dow's VERSIFY™ Plastomers and Elastomers, ENGAGE™ Polyolefin Elastomers(POEs) and INFUSE™ Olefin Block Copolymers (OBCs) enable the development of energy-efficient, flexible, lightweight and durable thermoplastic polyolefin (TPO) membranes. These materials power innovations such as photovoltaic roofs and enable the construction industry to move towards greener practices and zero-carbon goals.

Longevity, weather resistance, flexibility, and low-temperature toughness are key strengths of EPDM roofing. Dow, a long-time leader in EPDM technology, sets the bar higher with a new generation of NORDEL™ resins, which create EPDM solutions with improved mechanical performance, increased filler loading, and better processability.

Dow's ELVALOY™ Ketone Ethylene Ester (KEE) Terpolymers offer excellent performance as non-migrating plasticizers. By enhancing resistance to chemicals, microbials, and impact – as well as low-temperature performance and service life – they help raise the bar for durability in PVC roofing.
