The Alpha Systems Superflex RV Roof Membranes like part # AL42CV uses a TPO membrane and the LaSalle Bristol RV Roof Membranes like part # 3441700534142711435 uses a PVC membrane.

The adhesive has a longer life span than butyl tape and it is cleaner than using caulk or other sealants. It will need to be treated with paint or an adhesive on the felt backing.
