from the manufacturer of the products.
The Sure-Seal EPDM Membrane exceeds 41,580 kJ/m? under Xenon-Are UV Light testing used for testing
“Resistance to Outdoor (Ultraviolet) Weathering.” (ASTM D 4637 Specification requires a 7560 kJ/m?
minimum total radiant exposure at 70 W/m” irradiance at 176°F black panel temperature to pass.)The
membrane shows no visible signs of cracking or crazing.
Sure-Seal EPDM Membranes achieves a zero (no growth) rating in the ASTM G21 test for fungi growth.
1.14 JOB CONDITIONS, CAUTIONS AND WARNINGS
Refer to Carlisle’s EPDM Roofing System specification for General Job Site Considerations.
A.
Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) must be on location at all times during the transportation, storage and
application of materials.
When positioning membrane sheets, exercise care to locate all field splices away from low spots and out of
drain sumps. All field splices should be shingled to prevent bucking of water.
When loading materials onto the roof, the Carlisle Authorized Roofing Applicator must comply with the
requirements of the building owner to prevent overloading and possible disturbance to the building structure.
Proceed with roofing work only when weather conditions are in compliance with the manufacturer’s
recommended limitations, and when conditions will permit the work to proceed in accordance with the
manufacturer’s requirements and recommendations.
Proceed with work so new roofing materials are not subject to construction traffic. When necessary, new
roof sections shall be protected and inspected upon completion for possible damage.
Provide protection, such as 3/4 inch thick plywood, for all roof areas exposed to traffic during construction.
Plywood must be smooth and free of fasteners and splinters.
The surface on which the insulation or roofing membrane is to be applied shall be clean, smooth, dry, and
free of projections or contaminants that would prevent proper application of or be incompatible with the new
installation, such as fins, sharp edges, foreign materials, oil and grease.
New roofing shall be complete and weathertight at the end of the work day.
Contaminants such as grease, fats and oils shall not be permitted to come in direct contact with the roofing
membrane. An overlay of Epichlrohydrin membrane must be adhered around units which have the potential
to emit solvents, grease or oil.
