EPDM Membrane

ARBO EPDM membranes provide a superior sealing solution compared to traditional external sealants. Below are some of the key points drawn from the specific ARBO products.

Exceptional Durability

With a life expectancy of up to 50 years, EPDM membranes provide long-term reliability for airtight and watertight seals. The ARBO Instant EPDM option allows for quick application in demanding conditions.

High Performance

The membranes exhibit a tensile strength of ≥6 N/mm² and an elongation capacity of ≥350%, ensuring flexibility and resistance to movement and thermal expansion. The ARBO Profiled EPDM is designed for projects requiring pre-formed EPDM strips for more complex installations.

Water and Air Tightness

With a water vapour permeability rating of 70,000 (EN 1931), EPDM ensures high insulation levels and protection against moisture ingress. The ARBO Butyl Strip EPDM enhances this feature by offering additional sealing strength in specific applications.

Fire Resistant

The material meets Class E fire resistance standards (EN 13501-1), offering additional safety benefits. ARBO SAS Adhesive is an excellent companion product for secure and fire-safe installations.

Sustainable and Safe

ARBO EPDM membranes are solvent-free and compatible with ARBO sealants and adhesives, ensuring a safe and eco-friendly installation process. The ARBO Contact Adhesive ensures strong bonding without the use of harsh solvents.

Compliance with Building Regulations

With increasing requirements under Document L for energy efficiency, ARBO EPDM membranes provide a robust seal that reduces air leakage and interstitial condensation, improving overall building performance. The ARBO 2650 Primer further strengthens adhesion and compliance with stringent building codes.

Choosing the right ARBO EPDM membrane is vital to your project. The list below provides a selection of the best EPDM solutions suitable for your project. If you can't find the right membrane, contact a member of our team, and they can help you find the right solution.

Facade Sealing 

ARBO EPDM membranes help keep water and air out of buildings by sealing the gaps between facade parts. They last a long time and protect against harsh weather.

Sensitive Substrates 

These membranes work well with different building materials like natural stone, glass, and concrete. They stick firmly without harming delicate surfaces.

Energy Efficiency 

ARBO EPDM membranes help buildings consume less energy. They stop air leaks and moisture buildup, keeping the inside temperature steady and reducing heating and cooling costs.

Meeting Building Standards

Increasing regulations require robust window seals. The ARBO Façade Membranes offers a compliant solution, preventing water and air ingress, crucial for new constructions.

Internal & External Sealing

Whether you need internal seals to reduce heat loss and condensation (meeting Document L requirements) or external weatherproofing, ARBO EPDM provides a compatible and durable solution.

Material Compatibility

ARBO EPDM is designed to be safe and solvent-free, compatible with sensitive substrates like natural stone and paint finishes.

General Construction Use 

ARBO EPDM membranes can be used for many things, like sealing roofs, facades, and window frames. If you need help choosing the right one, contact our team. 

For a fully integrated facade sealing solution, ARBO EPDM membranes pair seamlessly with:

• ARBO SAS Adhesive (600ml foils) – Strong, solvent-free bonding solution

• ARBO 2650 Primer (500ml tin) – Enhances adhesion for long-term performance

• ARBO Terminator Strip (25x3m pack) – Provides a secure edge finish

• ARBO Contact Adhesive – Ensures long-lasting bonding of EPDM membranes

• EPDM Rollers – Available in 100mm and 150mm sizes for smooth application

Many ARBO sealants comply with relevant British Standards (BS EN ISO 11600, BS 5889) and offer additional assurances for use in construction.

If you need a silicone sealant that complies with specific standards, speak to our team, and they will suggest the best product for you.
