Jennifer Oblock, executive director of Chemical Fabrics and Film Association-Vinyl Roofing Division, will present an article on PVC (vinyl) roof recycling at the International Institute of Building Enclosure Consultants International Convention & Trade Show in Houston, Texas, on March 4.

PVC roofing is the only commercial roofing material that is being recycled, at the end of decades of service life, into the feedstock to make new roofing membranes.

The Fenestration and Glazing Industry Alliance has released an updated specification for producing quality PVC fenestration products.

Polyset PVC Spray Contact Adhesive delivers high adhesive output with a fast setup time, helping commercial roofing professionals reduce labor time and complete jobs faster.
