About EverGuard® TPO Seam Cleaner & EverGuard® TPO Low VOC Seam Cleaner
Used to clean exposed or contaminated seams prior to heat welding to remove any residual soap or to revitalize aged membranes.
Installation Options
- Do not use on “bag fresh” material that has been exposed for less than twelve hrs. unless it has been contaminated.
- Follow the guidance below for cleaning TPO
- Light Contamination — Membrane that has been exposed overnight up to a few days to air-borne debris, foot traffic, or dew or light precipitation can usually be cleaned with a white cloth moistened with EverGuard® TPO Cleaner.
- Be sure to wait for solvent to flash off prior to welding.
- Dirt-Based Contamination — Membrane that is dirt encrusted will require the use of a low-residue cleaner, such as Formula 409®, and a mildly abrasive scrubbing pad to remove the dirt. This must be followed by cleaning with a white cloth moistened with EverGuard® TPO.
- Exposure-Based Contamination — Membrane that is weathered or oxidized will require the use of EverGuard® TPO Cleaner and a mildly abrasive scrubbing pad to remove the weathered/oxidized top surface layer. This must be followed by cleaning with a white cloth moistened with EverGuard® TPO Cleaner.
- Unexposed membrane left in inventory for a year or more may need to be cleaned as instructed above.
