Sikaplan TM-12 | Mechanically Fixed FPO Roof Waterproofing Membrane
Lightweight, Durable and Flame-Free Roofing Protection with FPO Technology
Sikaplan® TM-12 is a 1.2 mm thick FPO (Flexible Polyolefin) based roof waterproofing membrane reinforced with polyester, compliant with the EN 13956 standard. Designed for mechanically fixed roof systems, it stands out with its excellent UV resistance, chemical stability, and long service life.
Unlike PVC membranes, the FPO structure of Sikaplan® TM-12 provides higher chemical resistance and improved environmental durability, making it a reliable solution for demanding roofing applications.
Why Choose FPO Technology?
✔ Plasticizer-free formulation – Reduces the risk of long-term brittleness and performance loss
✔ High UV and heat resistance – Ideal for permanently exposed roof applications
✔ Chemical resistance – Provides reliable protection in industrial environments
✔ Compatible with existing bitumen layers – Can be installed without requiring an additional separation layer in suitable applications
For renovation projects and industrial facilities, Sikaplan® TM-12 offers significant advantages with its durable and stable structure.
Key Technical Advantages
✔ Flame-free installation – Safe application with hot air welding technology
✔ High wind resistance – Reliable performance in mechanically fixed systems
✔ Impact and hail resistance – Strong protection against physical damage
✔ Microorganism resistance – Helps prevent mold and fungal growth
✔ High solar reflectivity (RAL 9016 White) – Contributes to reducing heat island effects and improving energy efficiency
