EPDM (Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer) is a premium rubber material whose principle ingredients consist of the compounds ethylene and propylene. When a small amount of diene is added to these compounds, a strong flexible rubber matrix is formed. It is now one of the most popular materials used as a waterproofing solution on a variety of structures. It is unlike other waterproofing solutions such as liquid and standard rubber membranes, as it has the unique ability to withstand excessive movement as well being UV, impact and chemical resistant. These membranes are also capable for meet with retentive temperature vagary and will resist damage caused by acidic soils. It is available in non-vulcanised or vulcanised (fully cured and more wear and tear resistant) states. This vulcanised membrane made from highly elastic synthetic rubber compounds, which provide premium resistance to weathering, tearing, movement, impact and puncturing. It is this elasticity and resistance to ozone and UV radiation in particular, which make Wetcomb highly suitable as a waterproofing solution for both water sealing and water capture applications.
Propertys of Wetcomb EPDM Geomembrane
The main properties of EPDM are its outstanding heat, ozone and weather resistance. The resistance to polar substances and steam are also good. It has excellent electrical insulating properties. It has the unique ability to withstand excessive movement as well being UV, impact and chemical resistant.
EPDM Rubberized membranes can be applied as a liquid to the Ponds/Canal, Reservoirs and river. It provides barrier to prevent the water and dampness from penetrating. The rubber membrane can be applied to either the interior or exterior of the foundation walls or even both in high moisture areas.
