UltraGard PVC roofing systems may be welded in two ways, either by solvent welding or by hot air welding, but only hot air welding is acceptable for installing field seams. JM recommends the use of hot-air welding when temperatures are below 40°F(4°C) or when significant moisture is present in amounts that would prevent positive seaming. All surfaces to be welded shall be clean and dry. No adhesive shall be present within the lap areas. 3, record 1, English, - hot%20air%20welding

Cette étanchéité monocouche complète le procédé Parasteel (procédé de toiture industrielle décorative à vis masquées), en constituant une alternative aux étanchéités bitumineuses habituelles [...] Au contraire du PVC, Steelply est composée d'un polymère sans chlore et sans aucun plastifiant, qui en fait une membrane d'étanchéité respectant l'environnement. [...] Pas de chalumeau sur la toiture : les joints entre lés sont fermés par soudure à l'air chaud, sur 3 cm au moins, avec un recouvrement de 12 cm.

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. 1, record 6, English, - bodied%20solvent%20seam
