Polystick® TU PLUS

Polystick TU PLUS is a self-adhered, dual reinforced waterproofing underlayment designed for use in adhesive foam or mechanically fastened roof tile applications. Utilizing ADESO® dual-compound self-adhered technology, Polystick TU PLUS features a UV resistant polymer modified bitumen plastomeric 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.

TU PLUS features dual reinforcement consisting of an internal fiberglass mat and a superior polyester reinforced surface fabric. This reinforcement combination creates a robust membrane that provides puncture resistance to heavy tiles and deck and substrate imperfections. The top surface is engineered for both slip resistance and tile stacking.
Polystick TU PLUS features patented SEALLap® factory applied adhesive treatment at the membrane overlap which provides a quick watertight bond.

Although Polystick TU PLUS is designed as an underlayment for clay and concrete tile coverings, this membrane can also be installed under slate tiles. This product is suitable for the high temperature environments (up to 265°F) under tile, metal, and other roof coverings. Polystick TU PLUS can be installed as part of a multi-ply underlayment system when used over Polystick MTS PLUS.

Polystick® P HT

Polystick P HT is a self-adhered high-temp waterproofing underlayment for use under metal and various other roof coverings. The top surface is composed of a UV resistant high strength polyolefin composite film with Hi-Tread™ slip-resistant coating which is mated to a high-temp SBS (elastomeric) self-adhered compound. A siliconized split-release paper provides quick and accurate installation.

This carrierless membrane is highly flexible; ideal for flashing around roof penetrations and transitions and other critical areas.

Although Polystick P HT is designed for metal roof coverings, this versatile underlayment can also be installed under asphalt shingles and other approved roof coverings.

Typical Applications

  • Specifically designed as underlayment for high temperature applications.
  • Approved for application under steel and aluminum roof panels.
  • Over entire roof and/or for valleys, skylights and other critical areas.

Features and Benefits

  • Waterproofing against water infiltration and ice dam conditions.
  • Cool white top film with bi-directional laylines.
  • Hi-Tread surface embossing with slip-resistant diamond plate pattern.
  • Highly flexible; ideal for flashing around roof penetrations and transitions and other critical areas.
  • Asphaltic compound provides excellent sealability around nails.
  • Rubberized asphalt bleed-out along edge ensures watertight seam.
  • Approved up to 250°F.
  • 180 days exposure.

Polystick® IR-Xe

Polystick IR-Xe is a self-adhered ice & water protection underlayement for shingle roof coverings. Utilizing ADESO® dual-compound self-adhered technology, Polystick IR-Xe 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 IR-Xe is reinforced with a fiberglass mat, and surfaced with aggregate to enhance skid resistance and allow exposure up to 90 days. The rubberized asphalt seals around correctly installed nails on the weathering surface.
