MATERIAL SPECIFICATION FOR THE SELF-ADHESIVE SYSTEM
EPDM Sheeting supplied by DIY Roofing conforms to DIN 4102 Part 1 (Fire Resistance Class B2) and is
resistant to sparks and radiant heat in accordance with DIN 4102 Part 7 (Spread of Flame).

AGREMENT CERTIFICATE No.321/88 is available issued by National Research Materials Agency, Berlin.

 
       INDEPENDENT TESTING OF EPDM RUBBER SHEETING

  • EPDM first in Best Buy tests supported by DOE due to long life compared with bitumen felts. 
  • PVCs have detrimental environmental impact.          
  • BRE tests put EPDM in the top category of durable membranes when cycled through temperature        extremes ahead of bitumen, glass fibre, felts, PVC, CPE and CSM.
  • Accelerated weathering tests on the Self-Adhesive EPDM (equal to 20 years) on 18 years in service samples showed negligible deterioration ~ extrapolation from these tests indicate a life of 90 years.
