EPDM Coatings http://www.epdmcoatings.com always gives solution for roof repairing project satisfying the needs of the customers with contingent services. When the time comes for first full maintenance of your punctured roofs, liquid rubber waterproofing can be easily refurbished usually by the application of an additional coat. Through development and improvements of the systems through the years, EPDM coatings have been designed to withstand the toughest climatic conditions and are compatible with the majority of roofs either its residential roof or RV roofs.
The primary advantages of epdm roof coatings are their economical, proven performance life, and ease of use. Roof coatings are generally one-component products that can be applied directly from the container. Today’s coatings are versatile and applicator friendly. Non-flammable products are also available.
An elastomeric coating is roofing applied in a viscous state. It has elastic properties, and can stretch in the summertime heat and then return to their original shape without damage. Elastomeric coatings usually contain polymeric materials, such as acrylic, and a white pigment, such as titanium dioxide, to make them opaque and reflective. An elastomeric coating is usually applied thicker than paint.
These rubber coatings are designed by the keen research from the top roofers to give maximum benefit of waterproofing. An elastomeric coating can be used on virtually any substrate including asphalt built-up roofing, concrete roofing, metal roofing, modified bitumen roofing, polyurethane foam roofing and single ply roofing.

Technical Aspects of EPDM (Liquid Roof and Liquid Rubber)
Elastomeric coatings are roofing applied in a viscous state. It has elastic properties, and can stretch in the summer time heat and then return to their original shape without damage.
Elastomeric coatings usually contain polymeric materials, such as acrylic, and a white pigment, such as titanium dioxide, to make them opaque and reflective. An elastomeric coating is applied thicker than paint. An elastomeric coating can be used on virtually any substrate including asphalt built-up roofing, concrete roofing, metal roofing, modified bitumen roofing, polyurethane foam roofing and single ply roofing.
Liquid Roof and Liquid Rubber need temperatures above 55 degrees to cure. The temps can go below 55 but the product will not begin curing again until the temp's go above 55 degrees.
Chemical Resistance-Cured EPDM rubber is resistant to acids, alkalis and polar solvents Cure system-Two-component Peroxide initiated Heat Resistance 302 degrees F (150 degrees C)
Physical Properties:
The physical properties of Liquid EPDM Liquid Rubber(R) are typical of its EPDM chemistry. The outstanding characteristics include:
1. Extreme high resistance to penetration of water, Ultra Violet and Ozone stable, excellent long term aging properties.
2. Very broad temperature tolerance range (from 300 degrees F to minus 62 degrees F). Acid and alkali resistant Withstands ponding water even when not cured
Spreading Rate:
A 20 mil dry film will result when liquid is applied at the rate of 42 sq. ft per gallon on a smooth surface.
A rate of 45 sq. ft allows for average roughness.
Weight/gallon 8 pounds (mixed)
Tensile 680 psi
Elongation 180-200%
Brittle Point -62 degrees F
Cure Mechanism: This rate is determined by temperature and the availability of oxygen. Oxygen is necessary to activate the catalyst, which promotes peroxide decomposition at lower temperatures. The cure mechanism in EPDM Liquid Rubber will vary from active to inactive determined by temperature. Broad day-night temperature swings in spring and fall will not compromise the final physical properties of the EPDM Liquid Rubber membrane.

Since EPDM Liquid Rubber Coatings cures by chemical reaction, a single heavy application will be preferable to multiple thin coats. A second coat will bond to a previous film but that bond will not be as strong as the internal bond within each layer. If a second coat is applied before the first has thoroughly cured, some wrinkling may result as the first coat absorbs solvent and swells. This will, however, recover as the solvent evaporates. It is generally recommended that only a single coat be applied over non-porous surfaces, the thickness of which can be varied as desired. Thicker films will take longer to cure through. Asphalt coatings and asphalt built-up roofs are considered unstable substrates and therefore, not recommended for coating directly with Liquid Rubber EPDM. EPDM COATINGS do carry a specific elastomeric which with a two coat application gives you a 10 year warranty.
Liquid Rubber is designed to recoat structurally sound existing roof and protective materials. They are also best for RV Roof Repair. They should not be used in place of roofing membranes”.

Rubber Roofing Materials
The advantages of rubber roofing are many. Rubber roofs are durable, energy efficient and environmentally friendly (they are often made of recycled materials). Another advantage of rubber roofs particularly liquid rubber and liquid roof, one that often tilts the scale in their favor, is that they require low maintenance, unlike wooden materials for example. But some differences exist between the two types of rubber roofs, with each having its own advantages. When installing a rubber roof one should take into consideration the two options – a whole roof system or shingles. An entire roof covered with a large rolled rubber roofing piece is ideal for preventing any leakage whatsoever, as they have no seams in them. This may be a slightly more expensive option, but a wise decision for flat roof homeowners especially. Liquid Rubber roof shingles are authentic looking shingles that have all the advantages the rubber material provides, and are even lighter, making it easier to install. Regarding Rubber Roof Repairs The benefits of rubber roofing do not end there, as even if they do require repair some time after installing them, rubber roofs are easy to fix. Especially if rubber roof shingles are involved, but also in the case of a whole roof system, rubber may tear or even fall off. In such a case, the homeowner can easily repair the roof with spare pieces or special tape or liquid that dries into rubber-like material. Such liquid roof sealant can be applied to the entire roof upon installation to prevent any such damage in the long run. Rubber Roofing Services If your roof is flat or you wish to enjoy the benefits of the rubber material with an authentic shingles style, then fill out the form on this page and we will have our rubber roof experts contact you and answer any of your questions, or simply follow your order to install a rubber roofing system.
