2. Flat roof - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flat_roof

   The fleece improves puncture and tear resistance considerably; 1.1-millimetre (45-mil) EPDM with a fleece backing is 180% stronger than 1.5-millimetre (60-mil) bare EPDM. Fleece-backed EPDM has a tear strength of 39.9 kN/m (228 lbf/in) compared to 13.1 kN/m (75 lbf/in) of that without the fleece reinforcement, more than 3 times the strength of ...

3. EPDM rubber - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EPDM_rubber

   EPDM can be compounded to meet specific properties to a limit, depending first on the EPDM polymers available, then the processing and curing method(s) employed. EPDMs are available in various molecular weights (indicated in Mooney viscosity ML(1+4) at 125 °C), varying levels of ethylene, third monomer, and oil content.

4. Membrane roofing - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Membrane_roofing

   The finished roof's thickness is usually between 30 and 120 mils (thousandths of an inch; 0.75 mm to 1.50 mm). The most commonly used cured elastomer membranes are ethylene propylene diene monomer (commonly EPDM) and neoprene, although all thermoset products combined fail to account for more than 10% of all commercial roofing. This is in part ...

5. Thermoplastic olefin - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ThermoPlastic_Olefin

   Thermoplastic olefin, thermoplastic polyolefin (TPO), or olefinic thermoplastic elastomers refer to polymer/filler blends usually consisting of some fraction of a thermoplastic, an elastomer or rubber, and usually a filler.

6. Vapor barrier - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vapor_barrier

   Asphalt or coal tar pitch, typically hot-applied to concrete roof decks along with reinforcement felts. Polyethylene plastic sheet, 4 or 6 thou (0.10 or 0.15 mm), 0.03 US perm (1.7 SI perm). Advanced Polyethylene vapor retarders that pass the ASTM E 1745 standard tests ≤0.3 US perm (17 SI perm).

7. Tar paper - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tar_paper

   Tar paper is used as a roofing underlayment with asphalt, wood, shake, and other roof shingles as a form of intermediate bituminous waterproofing.It is sold in rolls of various widths, lengths, and thicknesses – 3-foot-wide (0.91 m) rolls, 50 or 100 feet (15 or 30 m) long and "15 lb" (7 kg) and "30 lb" (14 kg) weights are common in the U.S. – often marked with chalk lines at certain ...
