  What comes to your mind when you think of "seals"? A stopper that keeps the leaks out. While most of the sealing materials promise to give these two things, they often fail to keep their promise. However, why not invest in a material that might as well keep your promise? An EPDM rubber sheet , or what you may call an "ideal sealing material," is the most popular choice for the industries for sealing applications.  EPDM Rubber Sheet: Why Industries Choose it Over Other Materials for Sealing? 1) Temperature Resistance An EPDM sheet can endure temperatures ranging from -20 degrees to +120 degrees centigrade. As a result, the EPDM rubber sheeting does not swell or melt in high temperatures. Additionally, it does not become brittle or crack in extremely low temperatures. These rubber sheets can offer effective sealing in conditions where there are extreme temperature fluctuations.   2) Weather Resistance  An EPDM rubber sheet is resistant against high and low tempe...

Which is the better roofing material: EPDM rubber sheets or PIR Boards?

  We all always look for budget-friendly alternatives. Choosing a roofing material is a tough process. Should you choose EPDM rubber ? Or anything else? You have to see if it ticks on the check boxes starting from weather resistance to costs.  Which material would you get without overspending?  Will they be durable enough?  What if you have to bear additional costs for installation and maintenance? In this blog, we will draw a comparison between EPDM rubber sheets and PIR boards as roofing materials. Before that, let us know more about them: EPDM Rubber Sheets An EPDM rubber roll is made of ethylene, propylene, and diene monomers. They have excellent weather-resistant properties. Besides, they have extensive industrial applications starting from seals to linings. They are available in different thicknesses and sizes.  PIR Boards Polyisocyanurate is a thermoset plastic. As a result, they have great thermal performance. The foil on the PIR boards enhances their in...
