The EPDM
roofing association which started in 2002 has always focused on educating
contractors and the roofing community on the characteristics and benefits of
EPDM membranes. Their studies have
concluded that EPDM’s service live is over 20 years. Arguably the most important benefit of an EPDM
system is the membrane’s flexibility. A
growing number of contractors are specializing in EPDM installation, due to its
low callbacks and insurance premiums.
EPDM roofing systems also feature low maintenance, easy repair options
and low annualized costs.
With Liquid EPDM there is No cutting, No gluing
and No Seaming! EPDM
Liquid Rubber® totally eliminates the problems encountered with
single ply materials because it produces a seamless membrane which is all of
the same chemistry. So what do we gain
by using EPDM Liquid Rubber®?
It eliminates seam failures and eliminates shrinkage of the single ply
rubber. It also prevents further
chalking particularly with white EPDM and it extends the life of a roof. Liquid Rubber®, available
through Epdmcoatings.com is
the only EPDM in Liquid form. This
product is a high solids solution of sheet EPDM Rubber. It converts from liquid
to solid elastomer via a unique free radical cure mechanism which works at
temperatures of 55° F and higher. EPDM Liquid Rubber® can be
applied directly on many types of substrates that have solid, stable,
non-porous and uniform surfaces such as flat roofs. For most substrates,
primers are not necessary. As an example, some types of substrates that can be
coated with EPDM Liquid Rubber® without
a primer are:
- EPDM Rubber Membrane on flat or sloped Roofs
- Weathered Steel Siding
- Outstanding barrier for salt-water environments
- Weathered Fiberglass
- Weathered standing seam and corrugated metal roofs
- Weathered Vinyl, PVC and Polycarbonate plastic
- Foam insulation for pipe
- Cast Concrete foundations
