WHAT MAKES EPDM MEMBRANE SUITABLE FOR NON-EXPOSED ASSEMBLIES (I.E, PROTECTED MEMBRANE APPLICATIONS AND DOUBLE SLAB INSTALLATIONS)?

Structural deflection, improper drain placement, or an insufficient number of drains can result in low areas on the roof that allow moisture to collect and pond over a period of time. Therefore, one of the most important characteristics of a roofing membrane is its moisture resistance. EPDM has excellent moisture absorption resistance that makes the material more tolerable to entrapped moisture than most roofing membranes. Since the early 60s, the material has been successfully used in canals, pond lining and other irrigation systems before its debut as a roofing membrane.
