• PRODUCTS MULE-HIDE TPO-c MEMBRANE
(Standard, FR and CLEAN Film)
3.0
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION ,4f
Mule-Hide's TPO-c Membrane is a polyester reinforced, .045"or.060 thick,
polyolefin based,thermoplastic, heat-weldable membrane. High breaking ; , 4/
strength,tearing strength,and puncture resistance is achieved by L
encapsulating a strong polyester fabric between the top and bottom plies.
Mule-Hide TPO-c FR membrane is formulated with additional flame retardant I.
(compared to Standard)for higher slope fire code approvals. The Mule-Hide • „ €
TPO-c membrane is also available in a 0.80"thickness(see Product Data '<,•-` •
Sheet for TPO-c EXTRA). The membrane is environmentally friendly and •
safe to install. All Mule-Hide TPO membranes include OctaGuard XTTM an .
industry leading, state of the art weather package that enables Mule-Hide rf
TPO membranes to withstand the extreme weatherability testing which %`
simulates exposure to severe climates.
BASIC USES
The TPO-c membrane is used in mechanically attached and fully adhered roofing systems in new construction, reroofing and
recover(retrofit)applications. It may also be used as flexible membrane flashings for walls, curbs, etc,when installing TPO-c
membrane roofing systems. The system must be installed over acceptable roof insulation or other suitable substrate. See the
Mule-Hide TPO Specifications Manual for complete specifications and details.
Optional CLEAN Film
Mule-Hide's TPO-c membrane is available with an optional CLEAN Film, a temporary protective film factory applied to the top
surface of the membrane. By protecting the membrane surface from scuffs and dirt accumulation during installation,this
protective film can save labor and time by helping to eliminate the need for roof cleaning upon project completion. CLEAN
Film can be left in place for up to 90 days. Durable and easy to remove, CLEAN Film helps to improve the aesthetics and
long-term reflectivity and is ideal for use on re-roofing, re-cover and new construction projects. CLEAN Film is available on
TPO-c 60 mil membranes supplied in 6'x100'and 10'x 100' rolls.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
1) Approved insulation shall be attached to the roof deck with an approved insulation adhesive or approved fasteners and
plates. Install insulation with its largest dimension perpendicular to the direction of the membrane seams where possible.
2) Mechanically Attached Roofing System
a) Perimeter sheets to be installed in an approved pattern along all exterior roof edges.
b) Mechanical fasteners and plates are installed in the seams of both the perimeter sheets and field sheets and
into the roof deck. Use approved fasteners and maintain proper penetration for specific roof deck.
3) Fully Adhered Roofing System
a) Perimeter sheets are not required.
b) The membrane is required to be mechanically attached at the base of all vertical surfaces, roof edges,
and angle changes.
c) The field of the roof is fully adhered to the substrate with Mule-Hide TPO Bonding Adhesive.
4) Remove CLEAN Film from areas that are to be heat-welded together. In areas not requiring heat-welding, CLEAN Film
can be lift in place for up to 90 days. Upon completion of the TPO roofing system, remove the CLEAN film and discard.
4) All seams are hot air welded and checked by probing.
5) All details will be done in accordance with Mule-Hide details.
6) On projects where a Mule-Hide Standard or Premium Warranty is requested, an authorized Mule-Hide representative
shall inspect all completed work.This is only a brief summary and not the complete specification. The Mule-Hide
Specifications, Details,Technical Bulletins, and associated documents should be thoroughly reviewed prior to starting any
project. Contact Mule-Hide Products for additional information.
PRECAUTIONS
• Maximum sustained temperature not to exceed 160°F(71°C)for TPO membrane. RECEIVED
• Use proper stacking procedures to ensure roll stability. Avoid creasing the membrane.

PRECAUTIONS (continued)
• Surfaces may be slippery when wet, or due to frost and ice build-up. Exercise caution to prevent falls.
• Mule-Hide TPO membranes are highly reflective to sunlight. Workers should dress appropriately, wear sunscreen,
and wear sunglasses that filter out UV light.
• Exercise care when working near roof edge as edges may not be visible when surrounding area is covered with snow.
• Store Mule-Hide membrane in original wrappings in a cool,shaded area. Cover with light-colored,breathable,
waterproof tarpaulins. Mule-Hide membrane that has been exposed to the elements for approximately 7 days or
longer must be prepared with Weathered Membrane Cleaner prior to hot air welding.
• Do not use razor blades or other sharp tools to cut the CLEAN Film while it is still adhered to the TPO membrane as
damage to the underlying membrane may occur. Pull the protective film away from the membrane prior to cutting.
• Remove CLEAN Film by pulling towards the center of the roof. Do not remove the film by pulling towards the roof
edge.
• A static electricity charge may develop when removing the CLEAN Film from the surface of the membrane sheet. To
avoid the possibility of ignition, lids must be closed on any flammable products and fire extinguishers should be readily
available.

Mule-Hide Tan and White TPO membranes are ENERGY STARS and California Title 24 rated roof products. Mule-Hide
White TPO membranes are Energy Star compliant.
An ENERGY STAR qualified low slope roof product must have an initial solar reflectance of at least 0.65 and a 3-year aged
solar reflectance of at least 0.50. Cleaning the aged roof surface is not permitted by the ENERGY STAR test protocol.
Energy Star is only valid in the United States for Roofing Products.
The Cool Roof Rating Council(CRRC)does not specify minimums for reflectance or emittance but they do require specific
protocols for testing and reporting. Cleaning of the aged roof surface is not permitted for determination of radiative
properties after 3 years.
A LEED"point"may be earned if a roof material is ENERGY STAR qualified and has a thermal emittance of at A rI���
as determined by ASTM E408.

SUPPLEMENTAL APPROVALS, STATEMENTS AND CHARACTERISTICS(continued)
Solar Reflectance Index(SRI) is calculated per ASTM E 1980. The SRI is a measure of the roofs ability to reject solar
heat, as shown by a small temperature rise. It is defined so that a standard black(reflectance 0.05, emittance 0.90)is 0
and a standard white(reflectance 0.80, emittance 0.90)is 100. Materials with the highest SRI values are the coolest
choices for roofing. Due to the way SRI is defined, particularly hot materials can even take slightly negative values, and
particularly cool materials can even exceed 100.
California Title 24 requires an initial minimum reflectance of 0.70 and emittance of 0.75 as determined by CRRC.

EXTREME TESTING FOR SEVERE CLIMATES
ASTM Standard D6878 is the material specification for Thermoplastic Polyolefin-Based Sheet Roofing. It covers material
property requirements for TPO roof sheeting and includes initial and aged properties after heat and xenon-arc exposure.
As stated in the standard, "the tests and property limits used to characterize the sheet are values intended to ensure
minimum quality for the intended purpose." Mule-Hide's goal is to provide TPO membranes that exceed the requirements
of ASTM Standard D6878.

Test specimen is 1"by 4"piece of 45-mil membrane unbacked,placed in circulating hot-air oven
Criterion-no visible cracks after bending aged test sample around 0.25"diameter mandrel.
Heat Aging accelerates the oxidation rate that roughly doubles for each 10°C(18°F)increase in roof membrane temperature.
Oxidation(reaction with oxygen)is one of the primary chemical degradation mechanisms of roofing materials.

Xenon-Arc exposes the membrane samples to the combined effect of ultraviolet,visible and infrared radiation,ozone,heat and
water spray to greatly accelerate the affects of outdoor weathering. The radiation"dose"is measured in kilojoules per square
meter(kJ/m2)at 340 nm machine UV wavelength. The irradiance"power"of the xenon-arc lamp is measured in Watts per
square meter(W/m2). Test specimen is 2.75 by 5.5 in.piece of membrane,unbacked,weathering side facing lamp. Criteria—
