The intelligent EPDM systems from HERTALAN® make permanent flat roof, façade and building waterproofing with EPDM easier than ever. Whether it be as EPDM membranes, sheets or strips – with HERTALAN®, we offer the right product for every application.
Thanks to HERTALAN®’s unique material properties, it is unbeatable in terms of flexibility and durability. The Süddeutsches Kunststoff-Zentrum (SKZ) in Würzburg, which tested our HERTALAN® EPDM membranes as part of a long-term study, has credited the material with a service life of more than 50 years. Based on this long service life, synthetic rubber has an excellent eco balance sheet and can also be recycled in an eco-friendly manner. The fact that EPDM membranes can be installed without a naked flame ensures additional safety in the workplace.
HERTALAN® EASY COVER membranes combine the excellent material properties of the EPDM material with tailor-made solutions. For HERTALAN® membranes, EPDM sheets are vulcanised together using a special hot bonding method. Thanks to the joint seams pre-assembled in the factory, only around five per cent of the manual connections have to be carried out on the actual construction site. The roof sealing is supplied as a perfect fit, like a tailored suit, in a single piece to the building site. HERTALAN® EASY COVER is processed without any naked flames, is root-resistant, FLL-tested and resistant to ozone and UV radiation. The system is suitable for any flat roof – whether it be loose-laid with ballast, fixed in place mechanically or bonded into position.
LARGE MEMBRANES THANKS TO HOT BONDING METHOD
Hot bonding is a method in which EPDM strips are homogeneously bonded together using hot vulcanisation to create expansive membranes. High pressure and carefully controlled temperatures ensure that a 100% tight bond is achieved. As a result of the unchanging conditions and the constant quality checks in our production facilities, consistently high quality is guaranteed.
HERTALAN® RhinoBond® fixing system
The most advanced fixing method
Experience the new dimension of mechanical fixing with the RhinoBond® fixing system and our HERTALAN® EASY COVER membranes. In the past, membranes had to be bonded or secured in place with ballast. With the patented electromagnetic RhinoBond® induction method, this is no longer required. The insulation is secured in place using induction-compatible fastening plates. Once the membrane has been laid, induction welds the roof sealing to the fastening plates. As a result, a virtually seamless roof is created in a short space of time which is secured in place mechanically without the roof seal also having to be penetrated at any point. With the faster covering time thanks to streamlined installation, productivity on the roof improves.
Advantages at a glance:
- NO PENETRATION OF THE ROOF MEMBRANE
- EVEN DISTRIBUTION OF WIND LOAD
- UP TO 30% FEWER FIXING ELEMENTS
- EFFICIENT PROCESSING
- RAPID PROTECTION FROM MOISTURE
HERTALAN® EASY WELD is an EPDM system that is especially suitable for roof membranes that are secured in place mechanically. Around the edges, the roof membranes have UV-resistant welding strips made from a thermoplastic elastomer that are welded together when they are laid using hot air. The result is a permanent, homogeneous and water-tight bond between the roof membranes. Since the seam connections of HERTALAN® EASY WELD are root and rhizome-resistant as well as being FLL-tested, they are also suitable for use on a living roof. Around 50 m2 can also be sealed with just one seam connection.
HERTALAN® accessories
With our surface and contact adhesives, we offer a supplementary package to help ensure the best possible processing of our EPDM roofing systems. These have been developed especially for use with our HERTALAN® EPDM films.
Detailed designs can often be very difficult to navigate. Our extensive HERTALAN® EPDM range of accessories offers you a variety of different processing tools – from flat roof inlets for drainage to EPDM internal and external corners, sleeves and seam tapes.
