Applications & Uses

Product Applications

Cool Cover™ TPO Cover Tape is designed to cover, protect, and seal mechanical fastening bars, membrane fasteners, core sample repair patches, membrane repairs, and seam overlays in all TPO roofing systems. The Cover Tape is highly useful for metal edge tie-ins where heat-weldable cover strips require pretreated metal. The product is also useful for repairing aged TPO which can be difficult to heat weld. Cracked seams and membrane splits can be sealed with Cool CoverTM TPO Cover Tape when the aged membrane will no longer accept heat welding.

Product Applications

1. Clean entire surface where Cool CoverTM TPO Cover Tape will be applied.
2. Apply Millennium Single-Ply Primer or Millennium Primer 240 to entire surface to be covered using the supplied scrub pad. NOTE: Use caution when installing at temperatures below 40°F (5°C) to prevent blushing of Single-Ply Primer (formation of condensation on surface of primer).
3. Allow the primer to dry to the touch (no material transfer, typically less than 20 minutes). Dry time will vary depending on ambient temperature and humidity.
4. Once the primer is dry immediately install Cool CoverTM TPO Cover Tape.
5. Position Cover Tape over primed area and remove release liner at 45° angle while pressing down cover strip by hand.
6. Roll the Cover Tape with a 2” (5.08cm) wide silicone roller.
7. Seal edges of cover detail with patented Cool CoverTM TPO Edge Sealant.*

Product Limitation

• Not for use on PVC membranes.
• Do not use for detail flashing applications.
• Talc, dust, oil, ice, snow, or wet conditions inhibit good adhesion. Clean and dry surfaces are necessary for proper installation of this product.

Technical Details & Test Data

Surface Preparation

All work surfaces should be clean, dry, and free of dirt, dust, debris, oils, un- adhered coatings, deteriorated membrane and other contaminants that may result in a surface that is not sound or is uneven. If necessary, clean the surface to receive cover with an approved TPO membrane cleaner.
