Abstract
EPDM seaming products are far superior to products that were used in the past. This article discusses the chronological development of the two predominant methods available for the seaming of EPDM rubber roofing today - cured, 100% solids seam tapes and solvent-based liquid contact adhesives - to show how imporved technology has led to a new generation of products that provide dependable performance. This article also explains why seam tapes are the product of choice in most EPDM applications.
