All our polymers are now positioned under a single portfolio brand: Signature Polymers. We will be making these modifications over the next six months so you will see both old and new grade names highlighted moving forward.
Insulation and waterproofing membrane
Applications and benefits
Residential sound insulation sheeting needs to be easy to manufacture, handle and install. Using performance polymers as a filler, up to 70 to 75 percent can meet these needs.
- Cost-effective sound insulation
- Products that meet targeted sound insulation requirements
- Flexibility to facilitate installation, storage and handling
Recommended products:
TPO roof sheeting needs to be strong, durable and flexible. Adding 5 to 20 percent performance polymers to a TPO formulation can provide a balance of toughness and flexibility to help meet these specifications.
- Enhanced flexibility for ease of installation and repair
- Increased seam and peel strength for durability and long roof life
- Wider weld window for ease of installation and weld strength
Recommended products:
Roof sheeting made with EPDM, specifically designed for easy processing and application.
- Low-temperature flexibility for easy installation in any climate, especially cold weather
- Good balance of tack, green strength and long service life in both filled and oil-extended EPDM formulations
- Durability for flat and low-slope roofs is enhanced due to good heat aging, good UV resistance, ozone resistance, and high filler loading and oil retention over a broad temperature range
Recommended products:
Vistamaxx™ performance polymers can be used as modifiers for bitumen compounds to optimize the cost and enhance the performance of the final roof membrane. Adding Vistamaxx polymers to your formulation can deliver:
- Higher flexibility for ease of installation
- Optimized membrane toughness and hardness based on the needs of the application
- Higher filler or recycled polymer loadings for lower total compound costs
- Tailored compound viscosity for easier compounding
- Outstanding mechanical performance to meet challenging field work conditions
- Enhanced flexibility and welding performance for ease of installation
- Good dimensional stability and MD/TD balance to minimize risk of leakage
- Maximized membrane output
