Thermoplastic Elastomer (TPE)

TPE (Thermoplastic Elastomer), the advanced material used in the clip-in water membrane, combines the flexibility of rubber with the strength of thermoplastics. This unique blend enables exceptional waterproofing performance and durability, with resistance to weathering, UV radiation, and chemicals. TPE’s flexibility allows for easy installation and adaptability, while its heat-welding capability ensures watertight seals. Utilizing TPE, the clip-in water membrane offers a reliable solution for preventing water damage in expansion joint systems across diverse applications.
