BENEFITS
< < < < < < < Resistance to ultra violet (UV) radiation Resistance to thermal shock Resistance to cyclic fatigue High tensile and tear resistance Higher flexibility Remain in elastic condition for longer period during its life WATERGUARD EPDM MEMBRANE can withstand high temperatures while remaining intact.

WATERGUARD EPDM MEMBRANE (Ethylene Propylene Diene Terpolymer) membrane is a 100% cured unreinforced single ply elastomeric compound (synthetic rubber membrane) manufactured from ethylene, propylene and a small amount of diene monomer. WATERGUARD EPDM MEMBRANE is available in black colour. The EPDM membrane is a vulcanized / thermo set membrane that has been fully cured in the manufacturing process. EPDM membrane has stable physical properties, which makes repairs easier in the unlikely event of cuts or tears.

VALUES The values that drive us underscore our commitment to: Customer Delight : consistently surpass customer expectations. FAIRMATE also ensures application of the products through authorized trained applicators. FAIRMATE caters to a large group of customers ranging from multinational companies to individual domestic customers. We have a wide network in India as well as internationally.

APPLICATION OF WATERGUARD EPDM MEMBRANE

INSTALLATION OF MEMBRANE
The water proofing EPDM sheets are bonded to the roof surface which is clean and free from oil, grease and other contaminants. In this method, the main area of covering is bonded to its substrate with bonding adhesive.The surface undulations shall be made up with screed concrete before applying the covering. First the roof sheet is placed in its proper position, and adhesive is applied with the brush or roller. The rubber sheet is then unrolled over the fresh adhesive layer and roller worked until it is flat and free from wrinkles. Alternatively, sheets can be laid loose, with rounded pebbles at the top, which is called ballasted system. Sufficient counter weight is required to be provided on the surface to prevent uplift due to wind pressure.

SEAMING
All side and end laps to be joined with a 100 mm wide, adhesive bonded splice. Roll seams with a 50 mm wide silicone rubber roller, both across the seam and along its' entire length. On small surfaces, seams can also be executed with contact adhesives instead of self-adhesive tapes.

PREPARATION OF THE SUBSTRATE

Concrete surface shall be structurally sound and dry to the touch. The waterproofing sheet shall be applied on the roof surface after completion of curing period. Roof slope should be a minimum of 2% to allow for adequate drainage of the roof. All debris and non-adherent areas of the existing bitumen roof finish shall be removed. Blisters and buckles will be cut open and sealed; defects shall be repaired by gentle warming and redressing. All outlets must be protected to prevent debris entering and causing blockage of down pipes. The roof surface will be made clean, dry, smooth and free of contaminants such as grease, animal fats, coal tar and oil based products. All sharp edges, fins and rough surfaces that could damage the membrane shall be removed or if they can't be removed, isolated from the membrane with a leveling layer. If the surface is rough or uneven, a finishing cement mortar grade 1:3 shall be provided over the surface. Ponding of water must be removed from the work surface prior to installing the system.

EXPANSION JOINTS
Following procedure shall be followed to treating the expansion joints of roof and walls. The expansion joints shall be thoroughly cleaned including chipping of existing mortar, thermocol / shalitex board etc. up to a depth of 200 mm. The expansion joint shall be filled with polysulphide sealant (gun grade) with polysterene board (thermocol sheet) of 50 mm thick and 50 mm wide as a backing material. Polysulphide sealant (gun grade) shall be applied over the thermocol sheet to have a watertight surface. The expansion joint is covered with a sheet of WATERGUARD EPDM MEMBRANE, membrane glued to either side of the expansion joint using an appropriate fastening system. EPDM roof waterproofing shall be carried out over this treatment.

PACKING
Materials delivered at site shall be clearly marked with legible and intact labels. The products (adhesives etc.) shall be in original, unopened containers. Materials shall be stored in areas where temperatures conform with manufacturer's recommendations and instructions.

HEALTH & SAFETY

There are no direct health hazards associated with WATERGUARD EPDM MEMBRANE. Normal precautions for hot and volatile substances should be observed during application.
