"Despite the struggles that Los Angeles has faced due to the fires that occured in January 2025, Southern California has always been a place that is open to change and growth. The adversity has made us even more resilient and we will overcome any obstacle in our way. Fortunately, we have been working for years to develop approved fire resistant, Class A rated systems that are resistant to our climate. Out of the ashes we can rebuild and restore our communities, one challenge at a time."
-Dan Gentile, President
Burn Sheild Technology is a patented innovation that offers fire resistance capable of achieving the highest level of fire ratings on steep-slope roofs, featured in Polystick XFR, a self-adhered high temp underlayment and Polyanchor XFR, a nailable underlayment, and PolyFresksko G FR, a granulated capsheet, the combination of these products provides an encompassing system to protect and encourage smoldering from fires and their debris.
Polyanchor XFR is a fire-rated dual purpose ember and water resistant underlayment. Polyanchor XFR features a plastomeric modified bitumen upper compound and a self-sealing SBS modified compound on the bottom. Polyglass’ patent-pending Burn-Shield Technology® provides superior ember resistance. Polyanchor XFR features a slip-resistant embedded mineral aggregate walking surface which contributes to the overall ember resistance of the membrane. The bottom surface is sanded to protect the self-sealing compound. Polyanchor XFR is ideally suited for mechanically attaching under clay/concrete tile roof covering systems where ember resistance is required or desired.
The result is a product which provides water resistance and Class A fire protection in a single layer, instead of the typical solution requiring multiple layers to achieve the same result. This translates to labor and material cost savings which ultimately benefits the building owner and contractor. The building occupants can enjoy peace of mind knowing that Polyanchor XFR is providing safety and protection of their possessions.
Features & Benefits
Standard roof underlayments do little to reduce this fire risk because they are not designed to prevent heat from transmitting to the roof deck. Polystick XFR has Burn-Shield Technology™, which minimizes this heat transmission. In this laboratory test, a flame is placed in front of a sample of Polystick XFR underlayment and a popular competitor's high temp underlayment.
Polystick XFR is a self-adhered waterproofing underlayment with superior fire resistance designed for metal roof coverings. Utilizing ADESO® dual-compound self-adhered technology, Polystick XFR features a polymer modified bitumen upper compound and a proprietary self-adhesive SBS (elastomeric) compound on the bottom. A split release film that protects the self adhesive compound allows for easy application.
Polyglass’ patented Burn-Shield Technology® provides superior fire and ember resistance in areas where this is required or desired. With a temperature resistance of up to 265°F, Polystick XFR is ideally suited for high temperature roof covering systems such as steel, aluminum, or copper panels. Polystick XFR features a cavitated anti-skid top film surface which can be exposed up to 180 days.
Can be installed as part of a multi-ply underlayment system when used as a secondary layer above Polystick MTS Plus or a two-ply Polystick XFR assembly.
