WHAT DOES EPDM STAND FOR IN ROOFING?

EPDM IS A RUBBER ROOFING MEMBRANE THAT IS EXTREMELY DURABLE AND LONG-LASTING.

EPDM stands for ethylene propylene diene terpolymer, with the primary two ingredients being ethylene and propylene.

The EPDM rubber membrane is a synthetic rubber that is used in a number of applications because of the advantages it offers.

As the EPDM rubber is made from synthetic rubber, the rubber membrane boasts a number of benefits that makes it an incredibly popular material for flat roofs. These include:

  • Lightweight properties.
  • Environmentally friendly.
  • 100% Recyclable
  • Waterproof.
  • Temperature resistant.
