  You must have seen a lot of TV commercials showing the differences between a branded product and an inexpensive one. In this blog, we will be narrowing down the same. But this time, the product is a rubber conveyor belt! Now the question is: Why do we need to know that?  Do you know what risks a low-grade rubber conveyor belt can bring? Conveyor belts transport industrial materials starting from raw to packaged goods. A low-grade belt can break down at any point in time, leading to wastage of raw materials, damage of packaged goods, safety hazards, and overall operational downtime.  Hence, in this blog, we will talk about some factors that will help you differentiate between these two types. Here's what we are going to cover: ➤ High-Quality Rubber Conveyor Belt vs. Low-Grade Rubber Conveyor Belt Source  Material Composition  Surface Finishing Product Labels and Compliance Test Certification  Performance Maintenance  ➤ Conclusion  High-Quality ...

Is EPDM membrane 100% waterproof- Here's the truth

Image
  When you are looking for membranes for pond lining or roofing, you demand materials that have extraordinary water resistance. Among all the membranes like TPO, bituminous, and others, you should choose an EPDM membrane .  Well, an EPDM membrane sheet is not 100% waterproof, but it is the most effective barrier for waterproofing. Unveiling the Truth About the Waterproofing Properties of EPDM Membrane EPDM membrane is extremely non-porous in nature. As a result, it has a high water retention capacity.  The surface of the EPDM membrane sheeting is smooth and even. As a result, it prevents the accumulation of water and absorption.  Its molecular structure has dense cross-linking of monomers. Thus, water has negligible chances of penetrating through it. It is impermeable and does not allow water penetration.  An EPDM waterproofing membrane is puncture-resistant. Hence, it does not allow water leakage easily, even in the presence of sharp objects. It works as an eff...
