The KEE-Stone FB 60 Flashing is a 60-mil high-performance Ketone Ethylene Ester (KEE) thermoplastic membrane enhanced with Dow ELVALOY™ HP for superior flexibility and strength. Under the attractive, bright white surface, this membrane is reinforced with a high tensile strength polyester scrim coated with an enhanced binder for powerful adhesion to the KEE compound. This distinctive composition provides exceptional puncture, tensile, and tear resistance while preserving the membrane's flexibility. A non-woven polyester fleece (6.5 oz. per sq. yd.) is heat bonded to the backside of this membrane for superior adhesion in hot or cold adhesives. KEE-Stone FB 60 Flashing is designed as the top component in a two-ply flashing system. This membrane forms a complete flashing system with approved Garland-modified bitumen base sheets. Specifications are available for both hot- and cold-applied systems. The KEE-Stone family of products meets and exceeds ASTM D 6754, the standard specification for KEE-based sheet roofing. KEE-Stone's unique KEE formula enhances the performance of standard PVC by making it permanently flexible and locking in the plasticizer to prevent the membrane from drying out and cracking.

Hot-Applied | For hot applications, KEE-Stone FB 60 Flashing can be installed over Garland-approved modified base sheets with ASTM D 312, Type III or IV asphalt, Garland’s HPR® All-Temp Asphalt or Garlastic® KM Plus modified asphalt at a rate of 25 lbs. per 100 sq.ft. For the list of approved modified base sheets, see the KEE-Stone FB 60 Flashing Installation Guidelines. Once the KEE-Stone FB 60 Flashing is installed, heat weld the KEE-Stone Utility Roll over the seam of the membrane. Last, use KEE-Lock Mastic to seal the leading edge of KEE-Stone FB 60 Flashing where it ties into the field of the modified roof. See the KEE-LockTM Mastic data sheet for application rates of this product. |
Cold-Applied | Apply KEE-Stone FB 60 Flashing with Garland’s cold-applied KEE-LockTM Foam adhesive for cold applications. See the KEE-Lock Foam data sheet for coverage rates. Once the membrane is in place, roll the membrane with a single-ply roller or a dry paint roller to ensure contact with the adhesive and remove any air pockets from behind the membrane. If the height of the continuous membrane exceeds 36”, horizontal reinforcement must be added using screws and plates or a termination bar. Once the KEE-Stone FB 60 Flashing is installed, heat-weld the KEE-Stone Utility Roll over the seam of the membrane. Last, use KEE-Lock Mastic to seal the leading edge of KEE-Stone FB 60 Flashing, where it ties into the field of the modified roof. See the KEE-Lock Mastic data sheet for application rates of this product. |

The KEE-Stone thermoplastic compound comprises at least 50 percent DuPontTM Elvaloy® HP, creating a membrane with superior long-term weatherability. The KEE-Stone formula is present throughout the entire sheet, providing long-term performance.
The remarkable UV protection of KEE-Stone FB 60 Flashing allows the membrane to withstand the most intense UV rays far better than traditional thermoplastic membranes. The bright white finish reflects potentially damaging UV rays on the roof surface. At the same time, the Elvaloy formula permanently locks the plasticizer within the membrane to prevent damaging migration that could cause other materials to dry and crack under UV exposure. These reflective properties earned the Cool Roof Rating Council (CRRC) seal.
KEE-Stone FB 60 Flashing is reinforced with a high-performance polyester scrim encapsulated with an enhanced binder, which provides a powerful link between the scrim and the KEE compound. The result is a membrane with exceptional tensile strength and elongation performance that offers extraordinary durability and puncture resistance.
