With the country's strong support and promotion in the field of new energy, the continuous progress of photovoltaic technology, the development of industrial and commercial photovoltaic is also in full swing, and the new installed capacity is growing rapidly. According to the "2023-2028 China Distributed Photovoltaic Industry Market Prospects** and Future Development Trend Research Report", in the first three quarters of 2023, the new installed capacity of distributed photovoltaic in China will be 6714GW, accounting for 52% of the total new PV installations07%, and it is expected that the new installed capacity of distributed photovoltaic in China will reach 111 in 202487gw。However, most of the existing industrial plants are rusted and leaking due to long-term use, so for most industrial plants, what must be done before installing photovoltaic power plants is waterproofing.
With the rapid development of science and technology, new materials emerge in an endless stream, opening up new horizons for the construction industry. Among them, TPO waterproofing membrane has gradually emerged with its unique advantages and has become a new favorite in the construction industry. Today, let's take a deep look at the unique properties and wide applications of TPO waterproofing membranes.
TPO membrane, the full name of thermoplastic polyethylene-propylene elastomer synthetic material waterproofing membrane, is a waterproofing material with unique properties, which combines the performance advantages of EPDM and PVC. Compared with EPDM, TPO waterproofing membrane has better weather resistance and can maintain stable performance in extreme environments. At the same time, compared with PVC, TPO waterproofing membrane has better welding characteristics, which makes the construction more convenient and saves human resources and time costs.
Secondly, the appearance of TPO waterproofing membrane is free of blistering, cracks, delamination, bonding and holes, which is due to its advanced production process and high-quality material selection. Such an appearance not only enhances the aesthetics of the building, but also ensures the durability and stability of the waterproofing project. At the same time, the TPO waterproofing membrane has excellent impact resistance, which makes it maintain stable performance in complex environments, providing users with a more reliable waterproof guarantee.
In addition, the operation of TPO waterproofing membrane is simple and convenient, and it can be completed by using special hot air welding equipment, which greatly reduces the dependence on professional technology. At the same time, the welded seams are smooth, firm and seamless, making the entire waterproof layer a complete coverage, further enhancing its waterproof performance.
In addition to the above-mentioned advantages, TPO waterproofing membrane also has excellent chemical resistance and can resist the erosion of various chemicals, thus ensuring its service life. TPO waterproofing membrane also has good puncture resistance, high seam peel strength, and can achieve physical root resistance. At the same time, TPO waterproofing membrane has extremely high reflectivity, with a reflectivity of 65%, which can appropriately reduce the indoor temperature and achieve physical cooling.
In terms of environmental protection, TPO waterproofing membrane also has excellent performance. The pollution generated in the production process is small, the use of non-toxic, odorless, solvent-free, non-polluting raw materials and production processes, the composition does not contain chlorinated polymer or chlorine, and no chlorine is released in laying and use, which not only reduces the impact on the environment, but also meets the requirements of modern society for sustainable development.
In general, TPO waterproofing membrane is gradually becoming the mainstream choice of waterproof material market due to its excellent waterproof and thermal insulation performance, chemical corrosion resistance, cost-effective, fast construction, easy maintenance, long service life, energy saving and environmental protection. Whether it is a large-scale construction project or a daily waterproofing project at home, TPO waterproofing membrane is an ideal choice.
