Reinforced membrane is manufactured using Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer and externally reinforced with geotextile.
Technorubber EPDM Fleecebacked is a high-performance synthetic rubber roofing membrane designed for durable, long-term waterproofing. Manufactured from EPDM (Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer) rubber, this membrane features a fleece backing that enhances adhesion, strength, and compatibility with a wide range of substrates.
It is widely used in flat and low-slope roofing systems, both in new construction and refurbishment projects, offering exceptional resistance to weathering, UV radiation, and temperature extremes.
Technorubber membrane features a factory-bonded polyester fleece layer on its underside, which enhances overall strength and durability. This reinforcement improves dimensional stability while allowing the membrane to better accommodate minor substrate irregularities. The fleece layer also acts as a cushioning barrier, helping absorb movement and reduce stress on the waterproofing layer.
Technorubber Fleecebacked EPDM membranes are specifically designed to work effectively with low-rise polyurethane foam and other approved adhesive systems. The textured fleece surface increases bonding area, creating a stronger mechanical and chemical bond to the substrate. This ensures secure attachment and improved system integrity, particularly in demanding environments.
The integrated Technorubber fleece reinforcement significantly improves resistance to punctures, tears, and impact damage compared to smooth-back membranes. This added toughness makes the system ideal for high-traffic roofs, refurbishment projects, and installations where the substrate may have minor imperfections or debris.
Technorubber EPDM rubber is inherently resistant to ultraviolet radiation and ozone exposure, which are primary causes of membrane degradation. This resistance allows the membrane to maintain flexibility, strength, and waterproofing performance even after decades of exposure to harsh environmental conditions.
Fleecebacked EPDM maintains excellent elasticity across a wide temperature range. It remains flexible in extremely cold climates and stable in high heat, allowing it to accommodate structural movement, thermal expansion, and contraction without cracking or splitting.
Because of the fleece backing, the Technorubber membrane achieves greater surface contact with the roof deck. This results in improved wind uplift resistance and overall system security, reducing the risk of membrane displacement over time.
Fleecebacked systems are often quicker to install compared to traditional multi-layer roofing systems. The compatibility with spray-applied adhesives reduces manual fastening requirements, lowers labor time, and simplifies the installation process.
The reinforced backing allows installation over certain existing roof substrates (subject to specification and inspection). This minimizes the need for full tear-offs, reducing waste, lowering project costs, and shortening construction timelines.
Are you considering a new roofing installation or the renovation of an existing structure? Whether the project involves an accessible roof, a green roof, photovoltaic systems, or a blue roof, Technorubber EPDM roofing systems offer adaptable installation solutions to meet your project requirements.
The Fully Adhered Technorubber EPDM Roofing System is a lightweight and highly versatile solution ideal for roofs with complex geometries, irregular shapes, or limited load-bearing capacity. EPDM sheets are fully adhered directly to a compatible substrate using Technorubber's Bonding Adhesive, delivering excellent performance and long-term durability.
The Ballasted Technorubber EPDM Roofing System is the most economical option among Technorubber EPDM systems. It is particularly suited for flat or low slope roofs and offers fast installation with minimal seams. Large EPDM panels are loose laid over the substrate and held in place using ballast such as stones or concrete pavers.
The Mechanically Attached EPDM Roofing System is a lightweight, cost-efficient solution suitable for buildings that cannot accommodate the weight of a ballasted system. Wide EPDM sheets are loose-laid over a suitable substrate and mechanically secured, with perimeter sheets optionally adhered or anchored according to project requirements.
The Inverted Roofing System is a durable and protective waterproofing solution designed for roofs exposed to regular foot traffic or extreme weather. In this system, EPDM sheets are loose-laid and covered by a layer of insulation, effectively shielding the membrane from damage and extending system life.
