Firestone EPDM Geomembrane, a high-performing rubber liner
The main component of Firestone Lining Systems is Firestone EPDM
Geomembrane, a single-ply synthetic rubber waterproofing
membrane made of ethylene – propylene – diene
terpolymer, mixed with carbon black, oils, curing agents and processing
aids. It is calendered into large sheets and vulcanized.
Key features and benefits
 The
success of Firestone EPDM Geomembranes can be attributed to their
unique combination of benefits:
- High flexibility: Firestone EPDM Geomembranes
remain highly flexible even at very low temperatures (down to
–45 °C), enabling year round installation in a variety
of climates and terrain.
- High elongation: Firestone EPDM Geomembranes
can elongate over 300%, which enables the membrane to stretch
and conform to objects in the subgrade.
- Superior weathering resistance: Firestone
EPDM Geomembranes offer unmatched resistance to ultraviolet radiation
and ozone.
- Quick and easy installation: Firestone EPDM
Geomembranes are available in large seamless panel sizes up to
15m in width and 61m in length resulting in fewer field seams
and less installation time.
- Low maintenance: Firestone EPDM Geomembranes
require little or no regular maintenance after installation. The
Geomembrane can survive normal environmental exposure for well
over 30 years.
- Environmentally friendly: Firestone EPDM Geomembrane
is an inert material with low environmental impact during production
and use. In addition, Firestone’s EPDM manufacturing facilities
have received ISO 14001 certification, a testimony of the company’s
commitment to environmental management.
