Modular Roofing Systems – FAQ's Frequently Asked Questions

FAQ's What widths do EPDM rolls come in? Are custom lengths available? What are the special sizes of Self-Bridging Mate-Line™? Do you still have to use lap Sealant when using Self-Bridging Mate-Line™? What if I need a Class A or C rated deck panel? What about deck drains and scuppers? I want to install white, heat-weldable membrane on some of my lease fleet - how much skill is needed in heat-welding the seams? What are the delivered EPDM panel sizes available? What is Cured Cover Tape? What is In-Seam Tape - why do I need this special tape? Can I use Water Base Bonding Adhesive to adhere flashings? How long should an Elastomeric Roof Coatings System last? What if I have a heavily rusted metal roof - does this project demand a new metal roof?

1. What widths do EPDM rolls come in? 9 feet up to 18 feet. Back to Top 2. Are custom lengths available? Yes. up to 305 feet for .045 and up to 255 feet for .060. Back to Top 3. What are the special sizes of Self-Bridging Mate-Line™? 9, 12, & 18-inch widths by 65 feet long or 9 & 12-inch by 100 feet long. Back to Top 4. Do you still have to use lap Sealant when using Self-Bridging Mate-Line™? Yes, both sides of the mate-line must be caulked. Back to Top 5. What if I need a Class A or C rated deck panel? The Mule-Hide FR Deck Panel is your answer. It reduces the costs associated with traditional five-step deck panel installation by eliminating one step. Class A or C rated single OSB board with proprietary BLAZEGUARD® fire resistant treatment replaces wood & gypsum. Single-side wet application is easy with Mule-Hide Water Base Bonding Adhesive. Back to Top 6. What about deck drains and scuppers? Mule-Hide offers Scuppers and Recessed Drains to fit modular projects. Back to Top 7. I want to install white, heat-weldable membrane on some of my lease fleet - how much skill is needed in heat-welding the seams? Mule-Hide offers in-plant crew training on heat-welding. Back to Top 8. What are the delivered EPDM panel sizes available? 10 to 15 feet wide by up to 65 feet long. Back to Top 9. What is Cured Cover Tape? MH Cured Cover Tape is a length of EPDM, factory-bonded to a cured EPDM-based adhesive tape that is highly resistant to the most extreme weather & use situations. Used to cover & seal drip apron or gravel stop. (Apply MH Tape Primer, allow to dry to the touch, apply cover tape & roll thoroughly with a 2" steel roller.) Back to Top 10. What is In-Seam Tape - why do I need this special tape? MH In-SeamTape is a cured, butyl-based, two-sided adhesive tape that bonds on contact. Used to seam EPDM and eliminate applicator inconsistencies & voids. When applied properly (MH Tape Primer must be used) it provides the fastest way to achieve strong, long lasting, watertight field seams. Back to Top 11. Can I use Water Base Bonding Adhesive to adhere flashings? No - since it is applied wet, it is designed for single-side, horizontal applications and will not hold flashings to the wall. You need Solvent Based Bonding Adhesive for adhering membrane and flashings to vertical surfaces. Back to Top 12. How long should an Elastomeric Roof Coatings System last? Acrylics have a life expectancy of 7 to 12 years. Back to Top 13. What if I have a heavily rusted metal roof - does this project demand a new metal roof? Not at all provided the metal is still structurally sound - A-125 Acrylic Metal Roof Primer totally encapsulates existing rust and inhibits the development of new rust. The metal panels must be sound and should be power washed to remove all loose rust. After the A-125 is applied, CRRC® rated & Energy Star® listed A-300 FINISH is then applied. Back to Top

Adhesives Types and Uses:

Water Based Adhesives

Water Base Bonding Adhesive (white) for single-side. wet, horizontal application of EPDM membrane to acceptable high-density wood fiberboard, plywood, Dens-Deck, moisture resistant drywall or an acceptable OSB panel.

Solvent Based Adhesives

Splice/Seam Adhesive (black or white) contact adhesive to adhere seams of EPDM and to adhere uncured flashing material to EPDM. TIP - avoid liquid adhesion problems - use our popular in-seam tapes and our new 6" RMS Strip with 3" Tape instead of adhesive!
Bonding Adhesive (yellow) to fully adhere EPDM and flashing materials to acceptable insulation boards, metal, wood & other acceptable substrates on both horizontal & vertical surfaces.
TPO Bonding Adhesive (amber) to fully adhere TPO membrane and flashing materials to acceptable insulation boards, metal, wood & other acceptable substrates on both horizontal & vertical sufaces.
Single Seal Adhesive (black) is a brush or roller grade contact adhesive used as either a bonding adhesive or a splice adhesive. Used primarily on small projects where UL & FM approvals are not required.
