EPDM stands for Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer. Engineering specifications describe EPDM as "ideal for outdoor applications because of its excellent resistance to ultra-violet light, ozone, oxidants, and severe weather conditions." EPDM rubber roofing membrane is made to last 20 years or longer ...

Both an acceptable membrane underlayment or insulation and the EPDM membrane and are laid loose over the substrate and held in place with a minimum of 10 pounds of ballast per square foot. Adjoining sheets of EPDM membrane are seamed together a minimum of 3 inches using Primer and QA Seam Tape, OR Primer, Seam Adhesive, In-Seam Sealant and Lap Sealant.

Membranes EPDM. La plupart des matériaux EPDM ont de 1 à 1,5 mm d'épaisseur. Normalement, le matériau n'est pas renforcé. On assemble les feuilles in situ en une membrane monocouche, au moyen d'un adhésif par contact. On peut manufacturer le matériau en feuilles de grandes dimensions et utiliser la membrane, simplement posée, collée complètement ou fixée mécaniquement.

English

Subject field(s)
  • Joints and Connections (Construction)
  • Technical Textiles
  • Soil Mechanics (Engineering)
CONT

Solvent seams use a brushed liquid solvent between the two geomembrane sheets to be joined, followed by pressure to make complete contact. These seams are used primarily on thermoplastic materials. Bodied solvent seams are similar except that 8 to 12% of the parent lining material is dissolved in the solvent and then the seam is made. Pressure is necessary and the use of heat guns or radiant heaters aids the process. A solvent adhesive uses an adherent left after dissipation of the solvent. The adhesive thus becomes an additional element in the system.

OBS

Bodied solvent adhesive: An adhesive consisting of a solution of the liner compound used in the seaming of liner membranes.

Adhésif à solvant : Adhésif dont le véhicule est un liquide organique volatil et non de l'eau.
