Polyglass Polystrip SA is a self-adhering waterproofing tape composed of a slip resistant surface and UV resistant film laminated to an aggressive elastomeric (SBS) modified asphalt adhesive. The adhesive is protected by a siliconized release paper which allows quick and accurate installation.
Polystrip SA seals the roof deck seams and other construction details in compliance with project and/or building code requirements where a self-adhesive strip meeting ASTM D1970 standards is designated.
Polystrip SA may be covered with any Polystick or Polyanchor roofing underlayment or roofing felt. Polystrip SA can also be used as a general flashing membrane.
Typical Applications
- Designed for applications on new or re-roof projects over roof deck joints
- May be covered with Polyglass Polystick or Polyanchor underlayments
- Can also be used as a general flashing membrane
- Adhesion to plywood, OSB, metal and other approved substrates
Features and Benefits
- “Seal the deck” joints from water intrusion.
- Slip resistant walking surface.
- Highly flexible and lay flat characteristics; transitions over uneven joints.
- Asphaltic rubberized compound provides excellent sealability around nails.
- Approved up to 250°F
- Up to 60 days UV exposure.
Polystrip SA – Roof Deck Joint Tape Take-Off Calculator
Designed to help roofing professionals estimate how many rolls of Polystrip SA joint tape are needed based on the square footage of a roof. Estimates are based on standard measurements for plywood and joint spacing to calculate the total linear footage of deck joints and provide an accurate roll count.

Polyanchor SU is a lightweight, nailable synthetic roof underlayment designed to protect the roof deck. Polyanchor SU is stronger than traditional felts for improved wind resistance, durability through heavy foot traffic and adverse weather conditions.
Polyanchor SU’s non-woven fiber surface top surface and polymeric coated bottom surface provides enhanced walkability.
Polyanchor SU is ideally suited for asphalt shingles, synthetic shingles, and cedar shake roof covering systems. Polyanchor SU is preferably matched with Polystick IR-Xe installed on the eaves and valleys for ice and water protection.
Typical Applications
• Water-resistant barrier on steep slope roofing under asphalt shingles, synthetic shingles,
and cedar shakes roof coverings
• Nailable steep slope underlayment over approved wood decks for temporary
waterproofing protection
• Used in conjunction with Polystick IR-Xe self-adhered shingle underlayment for greater ice
and water protection at eaves and valleys
Features and Benefits
• Improved tear strength and wind uplift resistance compared to felts
• Enhanced deck grip and walkability
• 90-day UV resistance
• Lightweight, 10 square roll provides quick roof coverage
Polystick MX is a self-adhered high-temp waterproofing underlayment for metal roof coverings and various other applications. Utilizing ADESO® dual-compound self-adhered technology, Polystick MX features a polymer modified bitumen upper compound and a proprietary self-adhesive SBS (elastomeric) compound on the bottom. A split release film that protects the self-adhesive compound allows for easy application.
Polystick MX features a cavitated slip-resistant top film surface which can be exposed up to 90 days. With a temperature resistance of up to 250°F, Polystick MX is ideally suited for high-temperature roof covering systems such as steel and aluminum panels.
Typical Applications
• Specifically designed as underlayment for high-temperature applications under metal
• Suitable for application under asphalt shingles and other approved roof coverings
• Over entire roof and/or for valleys, skylights and other critical areas
Features and Benefits
• ADESO dual-compound self-adhered technology
• Cavitated slip-resistant film surface with up to 90 days exposure
• Fiberglass reinforced for added strength and dimensional stability.
• Self-adhered technology increases labor efficiency and roof dry-in speed
• Asphaltic compound provides excellent sealability around nails
• Approved up to 250°F
Polyanchor XFR is a fire-rated dual purpose ember and water resistant underlayment. Polyanchor XFR features a plastomeric modified bitumen upper compound and a self-sealing modified compound on the bottom. Polyglass’ patented Burn-Shield Technology®
provides superior ember resistance. Polyanchor XFR features a slip-resistant embedded mineral aggregate walking surface which contributes to the overall ember resistance of the membrane. Polyanchor XFR is ideally suited for mechanically attaching under clay/concrete tile roof covering systems where ember resistance is required or desired.
Typical Applications
• Full roof coverage on combustible decks and under Class A roof coverings to protect against burning embers
• As a water-resistant barrier on steep slope roofing under concrete, clay, and slate tiles as well as shingles and shakes
• Areas prone to wild fires as required by building code
Features and Benefits
• Patented Burn-Shield Technology provides superior ember resistance
• Meets CA code requirements – Class A Fire Rated ember resistant underlayment for WUI
(Wildland Urban Interface)*
• Fiberglass mat provides increased strength and fire resistance
• Mineral aggregate surface engineered for superior slip resistance
• Tough plastomeric modified asphalt top compound for tile stacking
• Up to 180 day exposure
• Self-sealing modified compound on the bottom
Polyanchor HV is a nailable anchor sheet specially designed for the temporary protection of steep-slope roofs in areas prone to high winds. Designed with Duofix® Technology, Polyanchor HV uses a strong bituminous bonding surface combined with a special tear resistant fiberglass mat to provide superior wind uplift resistance. The top surface of Polyanchor HV is formulated to provide an ideal bonding surface for Polystick polymer modified self-adhered underlayments. The bituminous compounds in the sheet enhances sealability around fasteners and moisture protection while the heavy-duty mat provides strength and tear resistance around fasteners and plates. Polyanchor HV is ideally suited for use with clay/concrete tile roof covering systems with Polystick TU Plus or TU Max as the final substrate for the roof covering. Polyanchor HV is also suitable for use under asphalt shingles.
Typical Applications
• Nailable anchor sheet over approved steep-slope wood decks for temporary
waterproofing protection
• Base sheet for Polystick tile underlayments for concrete, clay, and slate tiles roof
covering systems
• Water-resistant barrier on steep slope roofing under asphalt shingles and shakes
Features and Benefits
• Duofix® Technology provides superior wind uplift resistance.
• Top surface specially designed to provide highly bondable surface for Polystick
underlayments
• Surface engineered for walkability on sloped roofs
• High tensile-tear strength mat provides increased fastener and plate tear through resistance
• Nail sealing modified asphalt compound
Polyflex SA P is a self-adhered APP (plastomeric) granulated cap sheet for use in low-slope roofing. Polyflex SA P is manufactured using Polyglass’ patented ADESO® Self-Adhered Dual-Compound Technology.
With this technology, a “true” Atactic Polypropylene (APP) modified asphalt compound is applied to the top of the membrane and an aggressive, proprietary, self-adhesive compound is applied to the bottom. Polyflex SA P is constructed with a tough non-woven polyester reinforcement that provides flexibility and dimensional stability as well as excellent tear and puncture resistance.
Polyflex SA P cap sheet also features SEALLap® ULTRA, side lap with self-adhesive compound for an instant bond, tested stronger than all other application methods and FASTLap®, granule-free end lap. Each of these patented features provides for greater ease of application as well as improved long-term performance.
When used in conjunction with Elastoflex SA V or Elastoflex SA V PLUS base sheets, Polyflex SA P provides a cleaner application, improved application speed, and removes the need for torches, hot asphalt, or bonding adhesives on the job site.
