EPDM

Waterproofing membrane

DESCRIPTION

A synthetic rubber with properties which resist

ageing from heat, sunlight and ozone. It has
excellent water vapour impermeability and
toughness and remains flexible at low
temperatures.
EPDM is marketed by ARDEX ENDURA as a
warranted roofing, decking and tanking product
and fixed by their trained and experienced
approved Applicators.

bonding should not be proceeded with under

four hours, thus allowing full evaporation of
solvents absorbed into the substrate. Primers
must be time dried not touch dried.
As new substrate materials continually appear
on the market, consult (Contact
ARDEX ENDURA central technical service
department for more details) for approval of
their use with EPDM.
Seam tape and seam primer must be used for
all EPDM joints.

SUBSTRATE SPECIFICATION

Plywood & Timber Substrates must be dry

when ARDEX ENDURA EPDM is applied. The
plywood and timber substructure shall have a
maximum moisture content of 20% when
EPDM is adhered.
NOTE: LOSP (Light Organic Solvent

Preservative) treated plywood must NOT be

used under EPDM under any circumstances.
New Concrete must be cured for a minimum of
28 days and all curing compounds removed
prior to application. A reduction in cure time
can be achieved by utilising the Ardex
HydrEpoxy System (Contact ARDEX ENDURA
central technical service department for more
details)
Old Concrete must be clean from any
contaminants prior to application

Do not use in temperatures less than 6C.

APPLICATION

Unroll the membrane over the substrate and

allow it to relax for approximately 30 minutes
before seaming or flashing. Membranes are
overlapped, side lap and end laps in
accordance with the installation instructions
and details.

STORAGE AND SHELF LIFE

Store away from sources of puncture and

physical damage. Store away from ignition
sources and open flame. Unlimited shelf life.

ADHESIVES

1. ARDEX ENDURA WA98, the solvent based

contact adhesive for brushing, spraying and
roller application for fixing to the substrate.
Supplied in 20L plastic containers. The
Coverage of ARDEX ENDURA WA 98.
2. Use Ardex Seam Primer and Seam Tape for
laps
WA98 - The Standard contact brushing,
spray grade and rolling adhesive for fixing to
the substrate and for laps not subject to
periodic ponding. (Pitch 5 and above)
WA98S - Solvent for cleanup of WA98 adhesive.
Seam Primer - A water resistant primer, used
with seam tape for general lap bonding.
Note: Temperature and Humidity
The evaporation of any solvent adhesive
system causes a drop in temperature at the
interface. At times of high humidity this can
result in a micro molecular water layer at the
interface which will result in a failure to bond,
falsely attributed to Adhesive failure. Fixing
should not proceed under these circumstances.

DISPOSAL/SPILLAGE

Spillage of any of the component products

should be absorbed onto sand or other inert
materials and transferred to a suitable
disposable vessel. Disposal of such spillage or
empty packaging should be in accordance with
local waste disposal authority regulations.
For further information please refer to the
Material Safety Data Sheet.
PRECAUTIONS

Exercise caution when lifting, moving,

transporting, storing or handling membrane
rolls to avoid sources of puncture and possible
physical damage.
CONDITIONS OF SALE

Sold subject to the Company's conditions of

sale which are available on request.
