Abstract
Over the past 20 years, roofing sytsems using ethylene-propylene-diene terpolymer (EDPM) have established an impressive history of performance. This performance has allowed EPDM to steadily gain market share until it is now the most widely specified synthetic rubber roofing polymer. EPDM's outstanding growth and performance history can be attributed to a number of unique features which provide both immediate and long-term benefits. This paper review the development of EPDM roofing membranes, accessories and installation details and identifies a basis for the outstanding acceptance of EPDM roofing sytems. The paper also outlines the performance history that has contributed to this success.
