With superior durability, flexibility and UV resistance, Force Star™ EPDM is the smart roofing solution for any application
WHY EPDM?
The EPDM (ethylene propylene diene terpolymer) rubber roofing membrane has been an appealing choice of the low-slope commercial roofing industry for over 40 years. EPDM continues to be a top choice of architects, roof consultants and contractors for both new construction and replacement roofing projects.
The greatest test of any construction material is how it performs under actual field conditions. Forty years of empirical experience in field applications has shown EPDM to have the roofing industry's longest average service life. Characteristics that contribute to this superior overall system performance include:
- Cyclical membrane fatigue resistance
- Proven hail resistance
- High resistance to ozone, weathering and abrasion
- Flexibility in low temperatures
- Superior resistance to extreme heat and fire
- Thermal shock durability
- Ultraviolet radiation resistance
EPDM's high resistance to wind damage has also proven to be an increasingly desirable attribute. These roof systems can be designed to meet a variety of wind uplift criteria from Factory Mutual, including 1-60, 1-90, and 1-120 ratings and greater, and the stringent code of Dade County, Florida.
Architects, roof consultants and contractors have come to depend on EPDM's time tested, long-term performance.
Please note that EPDM is a commercial roofing product, designed to be used in non-residential roof systems.

Application:
1) Roofs, basement, toilet, bridge, underground, tunnel and dam.
2) Industrial and civil building waterproof.
3) Geo-synthetic liner for swimming pool, channels, irrigation system
4) Especially for projects with high requirements in durability, anti-corrosion and deformation.
Construction Method:
1). Ensure all surface are clean,dry and dust-free. Remove any loose particles and any rust with a wire brush & soft broom.
2).Roll out the membrane.
3).Remove the backing paper and place the adhesive side to the previously prepared surface.
4).To ensure a tight contact-smooth the tape down with a dry cloth, remocing all the air bubbles;
5).Press the tape to the surface firmly once in position.
6).Smooth flat all edages with a wallpaper roller or trowel.
7).After use reseal pack and store upright in cool,dry condition.
Storage and Transportation:
1) Waterproof materials should be stored under dry and ventilated conditions.
2) Different types of membranes must be piled separately.
3) Under usual condition, storage period is one year since production date.
4) Waterproof materials should be put vertically during transportation.
5) It should be kept away from sunshine and rainwater.
6) Transport and storage process should be away from the fire source, storage temperature does not exceed 35 ºC, the storage period is 1 year.
