- Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer or Terpolymer (EPDM)
Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer or Terpolymer (EPDM)
EPDM (Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer) is a high-performance synthetic rubber membrane manufactured from ethylene and propylene derived from oil and natural gas. It is widely recognized for its exceptional durability, flexibility, and resistance to weathering, making it suitable for a wide range of roofing and substructure waterproofing applications.
EPDM membranes are typically supplied in black, with white variants available to improve solar reflectivity and energy efficiency. Its proven long-term performance and adaptability to various environmental conditions make it a reliable choice for both exposed and below-ground waterproofing systems.
Application Procedure
Thoroughly inspect substrate condition and environmental factors including wind speed, humidity levels, and surface moisture content, ensuring all parameters comply strictly with manufacturer’s specifications before proceeding.
Precisely spray-apply the polyurethane foam in multiple passes to achieve the required thickness, creating a seamless, self-bonding insulation layer across the entire deck.
Apply a UV-resistant protective base coat over the cured foam to seal the surface and provide an immediate waterproof secondary shield.
Install a separation layer of non-woven geotextile followed by the formation of precise slopes using lightweight screed to ensure efficient water drainage.
Lay the protective concrete screed to specified gradients, providing a durable walking surface and mechanical protection for the underlying layers.
Detail all critical areas, including expansion joints and wall-to-floor junctions, with specialized sealants and cementitious coving to eliminate leak-prone corners
Apply the final, heavy-duty waterproof membrane over the finished screed and parapets for a complete, multi-layered customization of the roof’s defense system.
