Why choose PVC?

Understanding the Benefits

Proven Performance

• Over 50 years of proven performance - Same basic formulation

Chemical Resistance

• High resistance to greases, oils, animal fats, jet fuels, acids, and other chemicals compared to other single-ply membranes
• Great for restaurants, food processing, airports and manufacturing facilities

Fire Resistance

• Exceptional fire resistance. PVC is self-extinguishing when the source of the flame is removed
• Great option to achieve steeper slope UL fire ratings, than with TPO or EPDM Membranes
• Perfect for buildings with solar panels or other electrical components, restaurants with potential for rooftop grease or oil fires, and more

Highly Reflective Options – (Cool Roof)

Most PVC membranes are highly reflective, with cooling and energy cost savings in warmer climates.

Heat Weldable Seams

• Heat fusion allows for seams of exceptional strength and watertightness
• Properly hand-welded seams exhibit “bleed-out,” a visual indicator of a good weld to the operator

Mule-Hide KEE HP Membrane - The Premium PVC Option

• KEE HP (High-Performance) - is an additive that enhances chemical resistance even beyond standard PVC membrane
• The HP (High-Performance) Advantage
KEE HP additive is a higher grade than standard KEE used by the majority of other manufacturers. Benefits over standard KEE include:

• Chemical Resistance
• Seam Weldability
• Cold-Temperature Flexibility

Type IV Advantage

Mule-Hide polyester reinforced PVC & KEE HP meets the ASTM (PVC Roofing Membrane standard)

Type III And IV Requirements

  • Many manufacturers only meet Type III
  • Type IV requires higher performance attributes than Type III (see chart)
Tearing Strength Elongation Breaking Strength
180% 66% 60%

Optimal Membrane Construction

  • Approximate 50/50 ratio between top and bottom ply
    • Some manufacturers have a significantly thinner top ply (weathering layer) to cut cost on valuable anti-weathering ingredients at the expense of performance
    • Mule-Hide PVC & KEE HP top ply is a thick, uniform blend of important ingredients like anti-microbials, heat stabilizers, and ultraviolet inhibitors
    • A thin top ply also makes the membrane far more prone to damage from abrasion (scuffing)

PVC & KEE HP System Options

  • Mechanically Attached
  • Fully Adhered
  • Induction Welded

PVC & KEE HP Warranties

  • Up to 30 Year NDL (No Dollar-Limit) warranties available
