PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Polystick TU Max is a homogeneous rubberized asphalt waterproofing membrane
designed specifically for use as an underlayment in adhesive foam or mechanically fastened
roof tile applications. TU Max features a superior polyester reinforced surface fabric
which provides for exceptional durability, UV exposure rating, and proven foam
set adhesion. Additionally, the surfacing has been tested to comply with all minimum
requirements for roof tile applications including skid resistance, tile stackability and high
temperature ratings. Polystick TU Max is designed for use in new construction and re-roof
applications where tiles may be stacked on rooftops for extended periods of time. Polystick
TU Max is rated for 90 day exposure.
Polystick TU Max underlayment is manufactured using Self-Adhesive technology. This
self adhered membrane meets or exceeds applicable ASTM and TAS testing requirements for
steep slope roofing products. Polystick TU Max features patented SealLap, a factory applied
adhesive treatment at the membrane overlap, which provides for improved ease of
application, as well as improved immediate and long term performance.
USES
• Multi-purpose steep slope underlayment, specially designed for tile applications though
suitable as a high performance underlayment for most steep roof coverings.
• Designed as effective reinforcement for perimeter and flashing details
• For use in both adhesive set and mechanically fastened roof tile applications
FEATURES AND BENEFITS
• Proprietary self adhesive technology for exceptional performance
• Polyester reinforced surface engineered for superior slip resistance
• Approved exposure rating to 90 days (or as limited by local building codes)

APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS
• Polystick TU MAX may be directly to the roof deck.
• Do not apply to shingles or other finished roof coverings.
• Apply only when the weather is dry and material interface temperatures (air, roof deck, membrane) are 40° F and rising.
• Always start at the lowest point of the roof deck where possible.
• Cut the Polystick TU MAX to a suitable, workable length prior to placement.
• Lay the material flat in place, starting at the lowest point. Overlap seams 3” minimum and endlaps 6” minimum.
• Peel half of the backing off the roll and apply firm, even pressure from the center to the outer edges.
• Remove the backing from the remaining half of the roll and apply pressure.
• Always ensure that Polystick TU MAX is applied over the area to cover the highest point of “ice damming”.
• Be sure to follow all local building code recommendations and requirements with regards to the width of ice dam materials.
• If full roof coverage application is desired, proper venting of the structure is required. Consult a design professional for proper
venting requirements.
• In steep slope applications(i.e. 3:12 slope or higher) where backnailing will be required, be sure that all nails are covered
by the overlapping next sheet.
• Polystick TU PLUS must be covered within 90 days of installation unless otherwise limited by local authorities.
• Use POLYPLUS 50 or PG 500 to seal all end laps, hip and ridge details, and any adhesive compound splices, patches or details.
• Apply a bed of cement on any metals, vents, stacks, chimneys, and other roof accessories.
• Use as any repair membrane to the underlayment prior to application of the final roof covering.
