The unique combination of properties, which EPDM coating
posses can be best utilized when they are applied to the exterior
surfaces of stationary structures. Examples are:
ROOFS………….
metal, rubber or thermoplastic membrane, fiberglass, urethane
foam, cement tile and plywood.
METAL SIDING……….. can
be applied with little or no surface preparation as a one-coat
finish on steel buildings.
CONCRETE TANKS…..... The
excellent water proofing properties of EPDM will reduce or prevent
spalling of the concrete in cold climates.
CORROSIVE and HUMID ENVIRONMENTS..........
Exposed structural steel on the interior of industrial buildings
with humid or corrosive environments can be coated with minimal
surface preparation. Plating operations, smelters, concrete casting
operations, dye works, and paper mills are just a few examples.
High-density poultry and hog production operations are another
good use to protect steel from the corrosive environment produced
by the manure.
IMPOUNDMENTS…..... liquid
EPDM coating is a good choice for exterior spill containment structures
because of their excellent weathering and broad chemical resistance
properties.
PONDS & FOUNTAINS.........
Concrete fish ponds, fountains and reflecting pool are another
good applications for EPDM. These are demanding applications where
the unique properties of EPDM have a distinct advantage over other
products.
