Description
ARBOShield Pro External Perimeter Class A Membrane (EPAM) redefines traditional EPDM sealing around window and structural openings. As the construction industry moves to a more fire safe approach to high rise buildings, the original synthetic rubber EPDM (ethylene propylene diene monomer) used for many years as a waterproofing product around window openings can no longer be considered in situations where fire performance is critical.
As such, being able to specify a product that replaces the traditional EPDM with something that offers all the benefits of an EPDM but with a Class A reaction to fire was a difficult task, however ARBOShield Pro EPAM now provides this in one simple to install product.
Its combination of a unique self-adhesive backing, Class A2-s1,d0 reaction to fire with a complete waterproof, airtight window and façade seal all in one innovative product.
The high performance adhesive backing bonds in temperatures as low as -40°C ensuring that EPAM will keep a project on track and delivered on time, regardless of the temperature.
No paste, no adhesive, no messy bonding means a fast effective installation. This also means no hidden costs associated with other systems which can be hard to cost correctly.
No environmental waste from empty or partially empty cartridges or foils. The green credentials associated with ARBOShield Pro External Perimeter Class A Membrane (EPAM) ensure as a considerate contractor you can be confident in providing a safe environmentally friendly solution.
Features and benefits:
- Watertight and airtight sealing around windows, doors, and façade systems.
- Class A reaction to fire membrane making it a suitable solution for buildings over 18 metres in height where fire performance is critical.
- Exceeds the current Building Regulations and Approved Document B requirements meaning the building is future-proofed from day one with a high-performance fire and weathertight seal.
- Unique product. Self adhesive and Class A reaction to fire.
- Fully UKCA approved
- Declaration of Conformance (Doc)
- Fully fire tested to Class A2 s1, d0
