Overview
KingProof TPO150 is a flexible FPO/TPO roofing membrane composed of thermoplastic polyolefins and reinforced with a polyester fabric. It is offered in a range of thicknesses to meet different project requirements.
The unique composition of KingProof TPO150 gives a membrane that is soft and flexible at low temperatures while maintaining excellent high-temperature properties. It is hot-air weldable and designed to perform in a wide range of climatic conditions, for mechanical fastening on flat or low-sloped roofs, and offers exceptional resistance to environmental, chemical and biological factors.
KingProof TPO150 is resistant to UV radiation and can be used as an exposed roofing membrane or as a protected system for extensive green roofs.
Where to use
KingProof TPO150 is designed for the waterproofing of a variety of roof types, both exposed and covered, including:
- Green roof systems
- Roofs with solar-panel installations
- Ballasted roof systems
- Reflective cool roofs
- Open, fully exposed roof surfaces
- Terraces

Standards and approvals
KingProof TPO150 complies with EN 13956 as per the technical properties table.
How to use
Method of use
KingProof TPO150 must be installed by experienced and qualified personnel.
Surface Preparation
Concrete roofs to receive KingProof TPO150 must be sufficiently cured and dry. Remove any poorly attached materials or contamination. The surface should be flat and free from sharp objects, abraded, plain and free of rock pockets, cracks, sharp gratings and nibs. Roof areas should have a continuous slope towards the water outlets; a slope of at least 1:40 is recommended.
Separation and Protection Layers
Protection layers are used to separate incompatible products or to prevent damage. KingProof TPO150 does not require separating layers when in contact with bitumen and polystyrene, as they are fully compatible. Protective layers are mandatory over concrete and recommended over other substrates to prevent damage from rough or uneven surfaces. Suitable materials include polyester or polypropylene fleeces, or a single layer of insulation (PIR / PUR, mineral wool, XPS or EPS) applied over a vapour-control layer. Above the membrane, a protective layer is required in ballasted systems; in green roofs the drainage or water-retention layers typically serve this function.
Application
Unroll each membrane sheet in the intended direction. Straighten and tighten the sheet to eliminate wrinkles, ensure it lies flat and fix the ends to keep the membrane in place.
For exposed roof systems, mechanically fix the membrane along one longitudinal edge, placing the fixings 30 mm from the edge of the sheet to provide stability for welding and prevent movement. Lay the next sheet with a minimum overlap of 120 mm onto the first, using the pre-marked guideline 110 mm from the edge for accurate, consistent alignment. In protected (ballasted) roof systems no fasteners are required and the overlap may be reduced to ≥ 80 mm.
Welding
Use an automatic hot-air welding machine with a 40 mm nozzle and a temperature range of +400°C to +600°C. First create a pre-weld line by fixing the upper sheet approximately 50 mm from the edge, then perform the main weld over the remaining 40 mm width of the overlap, moving the welder and silicone roller in a slow, continuous motion for consistent heat and pressure. Once cooled, inspect the welded seams for continuity and strength and re-weld any defective areas.
Quality and care
All products originating from KingKrete’s facility are manufactured under a management system independently certified to conform to the requirements of the quality standards ISO 9001, ISO 14001 and ISO 45001.

Storage
KingProof TPO150 rolls must be stored in their original packaging, away from direct sunlight, in cool, dry, frost-free conditions. Store horizontally on a pallet and avoid placing pallets of rolls on top of one another. Shelf life is 5 years under these conditions.
Health and safety
KingProof TPO150 should be welded in a well-ventilated area. As with all construction products, avoid contact with the eyes and skin and wear suitable protective equipment. For further information, refer to the Safety Data Sheet.
