PARSIPPANY, N.J. — GAF has announced plans to open a new polyvinyl chloride (PVC) manufacturing line at its commercial roofing plant in Cedar City, Utah. The line, which GAF expects to become operational as early as mid-2016, will transform the Cedar City operation into a full-service manufacturer and supplier of PVC and thermoplastic polyolefin (TPO) single-ply membranes as well as polyisocyanurate (ISO) insulation.
GAF also announced that it is actively considering locations for an additional plant in the eastern United States that will manufacture PVC, TPO and ISO. Known for its flexibility, ease of application and chemical resistance, PVC remains a popular single-ply solution among commercial roofing contractors.
