EPDM
- Rubber roofing used to waterproof roofs
- Either fully cured prior to being installed or cures during natural weathering after installation
- Single ply membrane
- Most common of low slope roofing materials (relatively inexpensive, easy to install, and clean to work with when compared to built up roofs)
- Sometimes ballasted (rock covered)
- Varying lifespan depending on type of building, foot traffic, ponding water (if applicable), evaporation of water, and climate of area
- Typically last 12-25 years
- Designed to combine the durability of EPDM with the proven performance or hot air weldable seams
- Excellent resistance to ozone, algage resistant, environmentally friendly, safe to install
- Seam strengths reportedly 3-4 times those of EPDM’s adhesive and tape seams
- Highly resistant to tears, impacts, punctures
- Installed fully adhered, mechanically attached, or ballast
- Life of 10-20 years
