TPO Rubber Membrane R&D

Job ID: 40615362

Budget: $10,000 – $20,000 USD

I am seeking a skilled chemist or materials scientist for a research and development project. The goal is to find a chemical composition that can prolong the life expectancy of TPO (Thermoplastic Polyolefin) rubber roofing membranes from 15 years to 30 years. This application should be in the form of a spray-on solution using Nano Silica particles.

Key Requirements:
- Develop a chemical composition to enhance durability against UV exposure
- Conduct compatibility tests with Nano Silica particles
- Provide a detailed report on findings and application methods

Ideal Skills and Experience:
- Expertise in polymer chemistry or materials science
- Experience with Nano materials, specifically Nano Silica
- Strong background in UV degradation and chemical interactions
- Ability to conduct thorough research and experimentation

Your experience and expertise will be crucial in extending the lifespan of this roofing material. Please provide a portfolio or examples of similar work completed.
