This is my opinion YMMV.....

The differences in Alpha Systems and DICOR sealants is very similar to the discussion about whether Rotella is better than Motorcraft diesel oil. Some will say to only use OEM oil, some say, "It doesn't matter." And some will cry " doom and gloom"if you even attempt to use Rotella....

It's the same with self leveling sealant. The problem is how the sealant "outgasses" the dispersant solvent. In large amounts there may be a problem, but in the mount we apply to reseal a roof seam, there just isn't any danger of damaging the TPO membrane from chemical dissolution caused by "outgassing"....

Until last year DICOR recommended their sealant for TPO roofs. I would guess the reason for the change has more to do with Alpha Systems complaining about product infringement than DICOR product failure...

Again, YMMV.....
