APOC® launches TUFF-GRIP™, a high-performance synthetic roofing underlayment

Engineered for maximum strength, durability and installation efficiency, TUFF-GRIP enables professional roofers to enhance overall roof performance while getting the job done quicker and easier.

As part of its mission to provide high-performance roofing solutions that enable professionals to enhance performance and complete jobs more efficiently, APOC® has launched TUFF-GRIP™, a new synthetic roofing underlayment engineered for maximum strength, durability and installation efficiency.

Designed with a high-traction, slip-resistant surface, TUFF-GRIP enhances safety and productivity for roofers, even on steep slopes. The new underlayment’s UV-resistant composition provides reliable protection during extended exposure, while its lightweight yet robust construction ensures superior defense against moisture, wind and harsh weather. Ideal for professional roofing applications, TUFF-GRIP combines rugged performance with ease of handling for a dependable, long-lasting underlayment solution.

“Roof underlayments serve as one of the most important components of a reliable roof system, and with TUFF-GRIP, we’ve designed a new underlayment solution that delivers superior long-term performance while improving the installation experience for professional contractors,” said Gregg Malanga, product manager, ICP Group. “Our mission is always to provide professionals with effective products they can use to drive greater value on every project, and we’ve done just that with TUFF-GRIP.”

TUFF-GRIP features include:

• Premium weather protection: Shields against wind-driven rain and moisture infiltration.
• High-traction surface: Delivers outstanding walkability, even on steep slopes and slick surfaces.
• TUFF-GRIP™ coating technology: Securely grips the roof deck before fastener application, ensuring easier and safer installation.
• Durable performance: Tough synthetic construction resists tears, punctures, and stretching.
• Lightweight design: Easier to handle and install, improving jobsite efficiency.
• UV resistance: Withstands up to 90 days of direct sunlight exposure without degradation.
• Long-term assurance: TUFF-GRIP 30 is backed by a robust 30-year limited warranty; TUFF-GRIP 15 is backed by a 20-year warranty.
• All-temperature, all-weather performance: Remains flexible in extreme conditions — from -40°F to 240°F.
• Wider coverage: 48″ width for faster, more efficient installs.

TUFF-GRIP meets a broad range of critical industry building codes and compliance, including Florida Building Code FL 47536, ASTM D8257, ASTM E108 (Class A), ICC-ES AC-188 and Intertek CCRR 0604 compliance report.

“We’re confident that TUFF-GRIP will serve as a reliable solution that professional roofers can count on to deliver easier installs and long-term performance for customers everywhere,” said Gregg.
