Is Resitrix EPDM?

Is Resitrix EPDM?

RESITRIX® MB is the hot air-weldable EPDM waterproofing membrane specifically for mechanical fixation and loose laying. It also meets the FM Standard Class No. 4470 (FM Approval).

Can EPDM be heat welded?

Yes! The membrane can be joined and sealed by using a hot air gun with a flat nozzle and seam roller to creat a heat weld.

How do you heat weld EPDM?

Heat Weld EPDM Heat weld the EPDM using an electric hot-air gun and 40mm flat nozzle. Apply pressure using a steel or silicon seam roller. Maintain a 2″ (50mm) gap between the nozzle and seam roller, applying medium pressure and ensuiring a bleed out is present from the membrane edge.

Is Alutrix waterproof?

Cold-applied, self-adhesive products that are impermeable to vapour and can be stepped on. The Alutrix vapour barrier range includes the ALUTRIX® 600 and ALUTRIX® FR, offering you effective cold-applied and self-adhesive vapour barrier membranes.

Does a warm flat roof need a Vapour barrier?

Wrong! sadly, it’s often the way – out of sight, out of mind, but the humble VCL is actually a very important part of the roof build-up. Be it a cold or warm roof construction, the primary function of a VCL is to keep warm moist air from inside the building – inside the building.

Can you stick EPDM to EPDM?

Overlap the two rubber membranes by 75mm (3inches) Overlap the two rubber membrane sheets to be joined by 75mm (3inches). It is common on long runs to overlap the two sheets by more than 3″ and then cut back the top sheet of rubber membrane once the splice tape has been stuck to the bottom sheet.

How long do EPDM roofs last?

EPDM roof membranes remain stable over time and can have a life expectancy of over 50 years. ** Made from synthetic rubber, EPDM roofing membranes have two primary ingredients, ethylene and propylene, which are derived from oil and natural gas.

Can you walk on EPDM rubber roofing?

Full Answer. All of our roofing systems are designed to take foot traffic and will withstand access to the roof for window cleaning and general maintenance The EPDM systems can be walked on both during and after installation, EPDM is designed to take LIGHT foot traffic for occasional cleaning or maintenance.

Is EPDM the same as vinyl?

EPDM is a synthetic rubber derives from ethylene and propylene. PVC is a thermoplastic elastomer produced by the polymerization of vinyl chloride.

What is Alutrix?

ALUTRIX® 600 and ALUTRIX® FR are self-adhesive vapour barrier membranes designed for use in a wide range of construction applications.

Can EPDM be installed on insulation?

EPDM over foam will work Insulation can be installed in the attic or on top of the roof deck, says GBA senior editor Martin Holladay.
