This is demonstrated by the positive feedback from those that use it, its proven track record and the increasing popularity of liquid EPDM rubber.

Applications and compatibility of liquid EPDM rubber

This type of system is increasing in popularity for flat roofing, and liquid EPDM rubber is often used to recoat other roofing systems to improve their performance and appearance in addition to waterproofing.

Liquid rubber is outperforming most elastomeric systems as they are often limited to certain substrates. This makes it reliable and a growing go-to option for many roofing professionals.

Liquid EPDM waterproofing membrane is also suitable for non-roofing projects, such as:

• Car park surfacing

• Balconies

• Anti-slip coating for steps and pedestrian areas

• Patio areas

Why choose liquid rubber?

Liquid rubber is very economical due to its durability and hard-wearing properties, fast and easy installation, and one coat requirements, in addition to the application of the tape. Its liquid form allows it to conform to any shape either horizontally or vertically. This is a plus, since modern buildings often have a variety of roof designs of irregular shapes. The liquid EPDM rubber can be applied on to any roof design easily and is a flexible enough system to cope with traditionally-tricky extrusions.

Liquid waterproofing system properties

Liquid rubber waterproofing has high resistance to water and does well in extreme weather conditions, lasting up to five times longer than the other elastomeric systems, and up to 25% longer than EPDM rubber sheets. It is one of the most convenient roofing options.

Liquid EPDM rubber is ideal for flat roof and roofs with slight slopes. It protects rooftops from ponding and water damage and is the best roofing option in regions with high humidity levels throughout the year.

This type of roofing system resists extreme weather conditions. It can withstand temperatures as low as -400 to high temperatures up to 300F. It can handle different temperature change rates without damaging or deteriorating in quality.

Roof repair using liquid EPDM rubber

Liquid rubber is fast and straightforward to apply. In most cases you will not need a primer, however, on concrete and brick surfaces, it’s advisable to use a primer before applying the liquid EPDM rubber.

For the liquid rubber to cure, the outside temperatures need to be above 50 degrees F, the higher the temperatures, the faster the cure process. A heavy downpour before complete curing may affect the process or cause damage. This process should ideally be carried out during warmer seasons for effectiveness.

Although the application of Liquid EPDM rubber can be achievable by a DIY homeowner, it does require a good, capable skill level, and it can be prudent to take an approved training course before application if you are tackling a DIY project of this nature for the first time.

There are often detailed instructions available to help you, however, from good suppliers of the product, and in specialist roofing blogs.
