Geomembranes are insulation products used to provide waterproofing in construction foundation curtain and terrace projects, pool, pond and canal projects. These membranes are usually produced from raw materials such as polyethylene, PVC (Polyvinyl chloride), HDPE (High Density Polyethylene) or EPDM (Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer). EPDM is a material that stands out especially with its high elasticity, chemical resistance and long-lasting structure. EPDM mastic is an insulation material that is a complementary product as a critical EPDM membrane adhesive used during the application of these membranes.
What is EPDM Sealant?
EPDM sealant is usually a copolymer of ethylene propylene diene monomer (EPDM). Thanks to its elastic structure, this sealant resists deformation and adapts to various climatic conditions. Thanks to its waterproof properties, it is used to prevent water leakage at joints, detail points and transition areas of membranes.
EPDM Sealant Areas of Use
EPDM sealant application places, which is a type of sealants used as EPDM membrane adhesive, are summarized as follows. Joining Points: The joints of geomembranes are potential weak points for water leaks. EPDM sealant is used at these joints to create a waterproof barrier. Detail Points: Project details are usually the sealing locations that need to be solved more precisely. These connection points; chimneys, vents, corner turns, all details of aluminum exterior facades, mechanical fixing places increase the reliability of waterproofing by using EPDM sealant. Transition Zones: When geomembranes are connected to different surfaces, building elements or materials, transition zones can be risky for water leakage. EPDM sealant can be used at dilatation points between two buildings to provide a robust waterproofing.
Importance of Using EPDM Sealant
Water Tightness: Thanks to its elastic structure, EPDM sealant prevents water leakage and increases the reliability of waterproofing systems. Chemical Resistance: EPDM is resistant to various chemicals. This feature increases the durability of the waterproofing system. Adaptability and Flexibility: Thanks to its high flexibility, the sealant adapts to the curves of the geomembrane and resists various weather conditions. Durability: EPDM sealant is a long-lasting material and its durability enhances the long-term performance of waterproofing systems. Ease of Application: Thanks to its easy-to-apply structure, EPDM sealant offers a practical solution in building and construction projects.
