ASTM D41 primed structural concrete; Dens Deck Prime or SECUROCK Gypsum-Fiber Roof Board.
For installation under mechanically attached prepared roof coverings, insulation shall be attach ed per minimum
requirements of the prepared roof covering manufacturer’s Product Approval. For installations under foam -on tile
systems, insulation attachment shall be designed by a qualified design professional and installed based on testing of
the insulation/underlayment system in accordance with FBC Section 1504.3.1.
5.6.3 Bond to Mechanically Attached Base Layer:
Polystick (all variations), Polyflex SAP or SAP FR, Mule-Hide SA-APP Cap Sheet or SA-APP Cap Sheet (FR) Dual Pro or

For installations under mechanically attached prepared roof coverings, base layer shall be attached per minimum
codified requirements. For installations under foam-on tile systems, base layer shall be attached per minimum
requirements of FRSA/TRI April 2012 (04-12), Appendix A, Table 1, or as listed in Section 5.6.4 herein, or as tested in
accordance with FBC Section 1504.3.1.
5.6.4 Wind Resistance for Underlayment Systems in Foam-On Tile Applications: FRSA/TRI April 2012 (04-12) does not
address wind uplift resistance of all underlayment systems beneath foam -on tile systems, where the underlayment
forms part of the load-path. The following wind uplift limitations apply to underlayment systems that are not
addressed in FRSA/TRI April 2012 (04-12) and are used in foam-on tile applications. Maximum Design Pressure is the
result of testing for wind load resistance based on allowable wind loads, and reflects the ultimate passing pressure
divided by 2 (the 2 to 1 margin of safety per FBC 1504.9 has already been applied). Refer to FRSA/TRI April 2012 (04-
12), Appendix A, Table 1A or FBC 1609 for determination of design wind loads.

metal disk or Simplex-type metal cap nail, at a minimum rate of 12” o.c. Polystick TU Plus should be back-nailed
using the above noted fasteners and spacing, in area marked “nail area, area para clavar” on the face of membrane.
The head lap membrane is to cover the area being back-nailed.
All seal-lap seams (selvage laps) must be
firmly rolled with a minimum 28 lb. hand
roller to ensure full contact and adhesion.
For Dual Pro and Tile Pro, align the edge of

All over-fabric and over-granule end-laps shall have a 6-inch wide, uniform layer of Polyplus 50 Premium Modified
Wet/Dry Cement or Polyglass PG500 Modified Cement applied in between the application of the lap.
Polystick TU Plus, Dual Pro and Tile Pro may not be used in any exposed application such as crickets, exposed valleys,
or exposed roof to wall details
Repair of Polystick membranes is to be accomplished by applying Polyplus 50 Premium Modified Wet/Dry Cement or
Polyglass PG500 Modified Cement to the area in need of repair, followed by a minimum 6 x 6 inch patch of the
Polystick material of like kind, set and hand rolled in place over the repair area. Patch laps, if needed, shall be
installed in a water shedding manner.
All Polystick membranes shall be installed to ensure full contact with approved substrates. Polyglass requires a
minimum of 40-lb weighted-roller or, on steep slopes, use of a stiff broom with approximately 40 -lbs of load applied
for the field membrane. Hand rollers are acceptable for rolling of patches, laps (mi n. 28 lb roller) or small areas of the
roof that are not accessible to a large roller or broom.
6.4.3 Tile Applications (not allowed for Polystick IR-Xe or Polystick MU-X):
