EPDM Waterproofing System

Neenu October 18, 2021

EPDM (Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer Rubber) is a cross-linked structure used as a water-proofing system for roofs and floors. EPDM is found to be more durable and flexible compared to other conventional roofing systems, due to its molecular structure.

Properties And Features of the EPDM Waterproofing System

Some of the features of the EPDM waterproofing membrane are:

  1. EPDM is a synthetic rubber material that is fully weather-resistant and UV resistant.
  2. It has around 500 percent elasticity making it a flexible single-ply membrane for waterproofing.
  3. The EPDM waterproofing membrane is highly chemical resistant.
  4. EPDM is manufactured with no hazardous additives like heavy metals, halogens, or volatile softeners making it an ecologically sound material.

    Good blog. Though you missed discussing the quality of the pond sealer, remember if it’s a low-quality product it’ll do more harm than good. I’d like to recommend a pond sealer that can be applied easily on all types of surfaces like fountains, waterfalls, pools, and many more. Pond Pro 2000, it’s the only liquid butyl rubber in the world. It’ll last 3 times longer than other pond sealers. Its coverage on a smooth surface is 40 sq. ft. per gallon. Avoid rain in the first three hours of application. Any leftover material can be stored for up to 2 years. It's available in black and white colors and quarts and gallons. It's UV-resistant, puncture-resistant, and non-toxic, so it's 100% safe for fish, plants, and other aquatic life within the pond. It's the only pond sealer in the market that has more than 30 years of history of success and offers a 5-year warranty for its valued customers.
