EPDM (Ethylene propylene diene terpolymer) is a type of single ply rubber roofing membrane that has been used in the low-slope commercial roofing industry for over half a century. There is a strong demand for EPDM in construction, but it is also widely used in many other industries. EPDM has become the standard for single-ply roofing systems worldwide, due to its extensive list of benefits.

Benefits of EPDM
- Exceptional Durability – High resistance to UV radiation, ozone, harsh temperatures and ultimately aging.
- Rapid and Easy Installation – Large panels are installed using primers and self-adhesive products. No flames or electricity required.
- Low Life Cycle Costs – Little or no maintenance required. One of the lowest roof life cycle costs thanks to EPDM membrane’s decades long service life.
- High Flexibility and Elongation in Any Climate – Elongates over 300% to accommodate building movements in climates worldwide. Proven performance in Canadian winters at -45C and in tropical Madagascar climate at +45C
- Sustainable and Environmentally Friendly – Inert material with limited environmental impact during manufacturing, installation and use. The membrane is fully recyclable.
