SARASOTA, Fla. – IPG (Intertape Polymer Group) has officially launched Palisade Butyl-HT PLUS, a high-performance, non-asphaltic underlayment engineered specifically for steep-slope roofing applications. This premium product, composed of 100% pure butyl, is designed to deliver exceptional durability and safety in the face of extreme thermal conditions.
Engineered for Extreme Performance
The new Palisade Butyl-HT PLUS underlayment addresses critical challenges faced by roofing contractors by offering a best-in-class application range. Its proprietary butyl formula ensures robust roof deck and lap seal adhesion even in frigid temperatures as low as 10°F (-12°C), while maintaining structural integrity and stability in scorching heat up to 265°F. This thermal resilience makes it an ideal solution for regions experiencing volatile weather patterns.
Superior Safety Features
A standout innovation in this product is the walk surface equipped with patented Stronghold Skid Resistant Technology®. This advanced feature provides superior traction, significantly reducing the risk of slips and falls for roofers working on steep inclines. Additionally, it helps minimize physical fatigue, enhancing overall job site safety and efficiency.
Versatile Material Compatibility
Designed to meet the demands of high-end clientele and specialized roofing systems, Palisade Butyl-HT PLUS demonstrates remarkable versatility. It is compatible with a wide array of roofing materials, including:
- Copper and zinc metal roofing
- Asphalt and synthetic shingles
- Primed cedar shakes, slate, and tiles
