A TPO roof feels like plastic, is pebbled, shiny and less pliable.

EPDM is less shiny ( a dull white), softer to the touch, more of a rubbery feel and more pliable.

Dicor makes a special sealant for TPO roofs -- I believe it is called 'Ultra Sealant" and is applied slightly differently than the regular Dicor self-leveling sealant. It comes in two parts - a cleaner/primer which is applied first (after the area is thoroughly cleaned) followed by the Ultra Sealant.
