More about Solvent-based Single-ply Roofing Membrane Adhesive
Roofing membranes are adhered to roof substrates through a variety of adhesive products. While individual products will specify particular adhesives, rubberized contact adhesives can generally be used with EPDM, TPO and some PVC roofing membranes. Some low VOC products are available, however this CP describes the traditional solvent-based version of rubberized roofing adhesives, which have fairly high VOC levels (median across products reviewed is more than 76%). The adhesive is rolled or sprayed to the roofing substrate, and potentially also on the back-side of the roofing membrane, and allowed to dry. The membrane is applied to the roofing substrate and pressure applied, until a permanent bond is created.
