I picked up some of this roofing material, but I cannot find any identifying marks on it.
Does anyone recognize it from these photos?
I believe it to be PVC and if so would be welded together with a heat gun.
Measures .050".
It also resembles RV underlying.

Might be TPO. A piece of TPO that was rolled up will maintain a "curl" when unrolled. PVC is more flexible and will lay flat after unrolling. Either gets heat welded.

It looks like it might be a roofing product call "peel and seal"
Thanks guys. Any idea what to use it for?
Perhaps wallpaper for the shop? Might cut down noise inside the shop.
Work bench top, again, lower noise inside the shop.
I am in need of a product that can eliminate the heavy condensation if I heat it up from cold.
My shop will definitely not be heated due to cost, but sometimes you just gotta have some heat. So, cold to hot, looks like it's raining in my shop.
Open to any and all suggestions/ideas.
That's what I was told by a volunteer. They had pallets of it. What I saw was, for the most part, not quite 6' wide and another shopper said he measured a roll that was the same width and 18' long.Originally Posted by Mel Fulks
Each roll looked to be the same amount of product.
Here you can see there is (nylon?) fiber running one way but not both.
When I pushed the Google button on my camera, it chose this as a possible match.

Bill,
Peel & Seal has an sticky back with a release sheet and is usually 3' x 33' per roll. I've never seen it with a scrim. Neither PVC nor TPO membrane have an adhesive back, but both are reinforced with a nylon scrim. They are bonded to the roof surface with a bonding adhesive (contact cement). The seams are sealed with a heat welded cover strip.

Once again a question that posting your location might help answer. Do you live in the Aland islands? Please update your location in your profile.
Does it freeze in your location? If not they probably do not sell much ice dam type roofing stuff. They do not sell any in the box stores here. So if the stores got some they will unload it to Habitat or something before it expires. They sell a lot in the mountains where it gets colder and they get a lot of snow.

It looks similar to a roofing under layment called Titanum...titanium.jpg

Bill, think Rock Island Arsenal. That'll get you close enough regarding weather.
