Description

EPDM (Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer) is a very durable synthetic rubber membrane and is widely used worldwide in various applications on façade walls. It has very stable properties such as vapour, air and watertightness along with elongation of >400% - allowing it to accommodate building differential movements. There are many important considerations in using EPDM in the UK and this CPD covers the specific technical requirements to be followed, as well as new developments in the industry.
