Firestone RubberGard. The EPDM Reference.
 The
main component of Firestone EPDM Roofing Systems is Firestone RubberGard
EPDM membrane, a single-ply synthetic rubber roofing 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.
Since 1980, over 1.000.000.000 square meters of Firestone RubberGard
EPDM membranes have been installed on roofs from the cold climates
of Alaska to the desert sun of the Arabian Gulf.
Key features and benefits
The success of Firestone RubberGard EPDM can be attributed to
its unique combination of benefits.
- Superior durability and longevity: Due to its
composition, Firestone RubberGard EPDM offers unmatched resistance
to ozone, UV radiation, extremes of both high and low temperatures,
and ultimately ageing.
- Quick and easy installation: Firestone RubberGard
EPDM is available in large panel sizes up to 15 m in width and
61 m in length resulting in fewer field seams and less installation
time.
- High flexibility and elongation: Firestone
RubberGard EPDM remains highly flexible even at temperatures down
to -45° C and can also elongate over 300% to accommodate building
movements.
- Low life-cycle cost: Firestone RubberGard EPDM
requires little or no maintenance. This feature, combined with
the inherent durability and competitive installed cost of EPDM
roofing systems, result in a very low life-cycle cost.
- Environmentally friendly: Firestone RubberGard
EPDM is an inert material with limited environmental impact during
manufacture and use of the product. In addition, Firestone's EPDM
manufacturing facilities have received ISO 14001 certification,
a testimony of the company's commitment to environmental management.
