INTRODUCTION

This manual sets out theinstallation methods forFLAGON TPO membranes(polyolefin).

1. StorageRolls of FLAGON TPO mem-brane are delivered to siteon pallets.These should be stored in adry place or, if this is notpossible, protected againstdampness and exposure tofrost and snow using water-proof sheets.

2. LabellingAll FLAGON TPO membra-nes have a green label iden-tifying the membrane, itsthickness, length andwidth.All accessories used toinstall FLAGON TPO havegreen identification labelsand/or packaging.

4. Chemical compliance *FLAGON TPO membranesare chemically compatiblewith a large range of mate-rials (refer to data sheet).

A) Insulation material It is not necessary to lay aseparation layer betweenthe waterproof membraneand most insulation boards.

B) Bitumen In the case of bitumen, laya separation layer of geo-textile before laying FLA-GON TPO.

C) PVC membranesLay a separation layer ofgeo-textile between theFLAGON TPO membraneand new PVC syntheticmembranes.

* Please contact ourTechnical Departmentwho will advise on thethe chemical complianceof FLAGON TPO mem-branes with differentmaterials

5. Cleaning welding surfaces The surface of TPO mem-branes may become elec-trostatically charged whichcan significantly increasethe deposit of dust andimpurities. Before welding,using a white cloth, cleanthe edges of the membra-ne with FLAGON TPOCLEANER.

This operation can only beavoided: 1- when welding is carried

out immediately new rolls of membrane are unrolled;

2- when automatic wel-ding is carried out usinga Varimat Leister equip-ped with a FLAG SCRA-PER NOZZLE (see step 2.1 page10).

NOTE: When the weldingsurfaces are too wet ordirty, use a new, dry, absor-bent cloth to wipe thembefore cleaning with FLA-GON TPO CLEANER.

1 HOT AIR MANUAL WELDING

Setting temperature on the Triac PID

Setting temperature on the Triac S

Make a sample weld totest the temperaturebefore starting work. Check the sample weldwith a destructive test (see 14.2 page 55).

* the working temperaturecould be affected by envi-ronmental conditions on site(humidity, temperature,wind, etc.)

1.3 OverlapThe edges of the membra-nes to be welded must beclean and dry.

The overlap should be:

• 8 cm for ballasted and fully adhered roof systems;

1.1 Preliminary checksEnsure the nozzle is cleanand uniformly open acrossits entire width.

1.2 Operating temperatureAdjust the welding tempe-rature according to the fol-lowing table;

The required operating vol-tage is 220/240 Volts forautomatic machines; 110Volts for hand guns.To avoid voltage drops: • Never use

excessively long supplycables or those with a small diameter (110 Volts 6 mm diameter minimum)

Never use a shared power supply. 8 cm

Round off sharp edges withscissors.When possible, avoid crea-ting multiple cross jointswith more than threesheets.

For this purpose:a) position two or moresheets perfectly parallel andaligned. Weld a third sheetor strip (min. 20 cm) tran-sversally (90°) to previouslyinstalled sheets;

4 T-JOINTS – MULTIPLE WELDING

At “T-joints” (e.g. at the trailingedges of sheets, and wheninstalling any prefabricatedFLAGON TPO elements):

a) chamfer the weldingseam edge with the mill orchamfer tool.

This operation removes thedifference in height resul-ting from the overlappingof several waterproofingsheets and allows adequatecleaning of the seam priorto welding.

b) cut a circle of membrane(diameter approx. 15 cm)and weld over the chamfe-red T-joint.

c) Spot-weld, pre-weld andweld.

It is always necessary to fixaround the perimeter witha pre-drilled FLAGON bar.The bar can be mechanical-ly fixed on the horizontal orvertical surface at the baseof the upstand.

Fix on the vertical surface inthe case of:- cement screeded

deck;- insulation board with

thicknesses in excess of5 - 6 cm.

Position the bars along theperimeter of the upstandand around any projectionssuch as skylight kerbs.Leave a 1 cm. gap betweenbar ends to avoid expan-sion problems.

Protect the membrane frompuncture by installing FLAGBAR END PROTECTORS.Using the speed weldingnozzle, hot-air weld theFLAGOFIL TPO cord (oran-ge).

Note:Mechanically fasten, using dril-led bars or plates and screws,around all protrusions andchanges in levels of the waterproofing membrane.

Using a roller spread theglue evenly on both surfa-ces. Leave until touch dry andthe solvents have dispersedfrom the glue. Attach thetwo surfaces.

NOTE: When the environmen-tal temperature is particularlycold, soften the external surfa-ce of the membrane using, aheat source, before gluing.

If the vertical upstand ismore than 35 cm high, itwill be necessary to anchorthe FLAGON TPO membra-ne.

6.1 ADHERING*Use solvent based FLEXO-COL BONDING ADHESIVEfor FLAGON TPO.Supports suitable for adhe-sives are: cement, wood,metal (after appropriatesurface cleaning), polyu-rethane insulation panelswith glass mat paperfacing, tiles, etc.

Do not use solvent basedglue on: extruded or expanded poly-styrene insulation, cellularcement, newly laid bitumi-nous membrane, panelscontaining pearlite, mineralwool (unless Hard Rock SPAinsulation boards), fibrousor dusty surfaces.

*Please contact ourTechnical Departmentwho will advise on thethe compliance ofFlexocol glue with diffe-rent materials.

7 FIXING MEMBRANE TO HORIZONTAL SURFACE7.1- Fully adhering (flee-ce-backed FLAGON TPOmembrane)For fully adhering, useFlexocol A89 glue. Usingthe spatula supplied, spreadthe glue onto the suppor-ting surface. (Refer to glueinstallation data sheet.)Spot-weld, pre-weld, andweld.

NOTE: Avoid contaminatingthe welding edge of themembrane with glue. Any glue spots or residuecan be removed withalcohol or acetone and aclean cloth.

7.2 Mechanical fixingNOTE: When using trape-zoidal metal decks themembrane must be laid atright angles to the deckdirection. With concrete decking themembrane can be laid inany direction.

There are two methodsmechanically fixing themembrane:

a) Fixing plates and screwsb) Fixing with FLAG BARS

b) Fixing with FLAGBARS FLAG BARS are installed atpre-determined centresaccording to the wind loadrequiriments of the localarea and the building hei-ght.

IMPORTANT: The insulationboards must be fixed inde-pendently to the membra-ne.

FLAG BAR ends should beinstalled with a 1 cmexpansion gap betweeneach bar.

FLAG BAR END PROTEC-TORS must be installed toall bar ends to preventpuncturing during move-ment and stress.Hot air weld the overlapusing manual or automaticmethods.

Install the bar system, withbar end protectors, at thepre-determined centresrecommended by the FLAGTechnical Department.

Hot air weld 20 cm mini-mum strip over the fixingbar as shown in the dia-gram.*.

22

a) Fixing plates andscrews.Fixing is carried out usingproprietory fixing plates andscrews along the edge ofthe membrane as shown.Fixing centres are determi-ned by the building heightand the topography of thearea when subjected towind.*

The adjoining membraneoverlaps the fixed sheet by aminimum 12 cm encapsula-ting the fixing line.Weld the membranetogether, using manual orautomatic methods, to forma homogenous seam.

In areas of high wind expo-sure it may be necessary toincrease the fixing centres inthe perimeter and cornerzones of the building. This iseasily achieved by insertinga line of fixing long the cen-tre of the installed membra-ne and then using a mini-mum 20 cm wide strip weldas shown in the diagram. This same method can alsobe carried out when usingpre-drilled FLAG BARS inlieu of fixing plates andscrews.

To improve installationtimes the FLAGON TPOroofing system has a widerange of hot air weldableaccessories that includevents, outlets, scuppersand internal and externalcorners.

Consideration must begiven to drainage of waterfrom the roof. FLAG BARSshould be installed toallow free flow of waterfrom the roof area.

FLAG BAR END PROTEC-TORS must be installedwhen using the FLAG BARsystem to avoid damage tothe waterproofing mem-brane when subjected tomovement stresses..
