APPLICATION

FIRESTONE WATER BASED ADHESIVE

Water Based Adhesive is designed specifically for bonding Firestone RubberCover EPDM membranes to approved insulations in addition to wood, masonry and other acceptable substrates.

Apply the Water Based Adhesive with a solvent resistant roller, and roll the adhesive onto the mating surfaces. When applying Adhesive, ensure complete uniform coverage of both surfaces that will be adhered. Care must be taken not to apply Adhesive over seam areas. Adhesive can be dispensed by means of RoofTop SuperSpreader in order to achieve a more uniform coverage and obtain higher coverage rates.

Allow adhesive to flash off until tacky (time depending on ambient air conditions) prior to mating the surfaces. Test the adhesive for its dryness, using the touch-push test procedure. As an alternative to the contact adhesion application method, outlined above, Water Based Adhesive may also be mated while still wet directly over plywood or OSB substrates only. Apply Water Based Adhesive over plywood or OSB with a solvent resistant paint roller, taking care to completely cover the plywood or OSB substrate evenly to avoid globs and puddles of adhesive. The EPDM membrane shall be mated as soon as possible after the adhesive is applied by rolling the membrane in place over the plywood or OSB.

To ensure proper adhesion, compress the bonded portion of the sheet to the substrate with a stiff push broom or heavy roller. The optional Wet Mating Method is only applicable when membrane is bonded indoors, not exposed to any wind stresses for 48 hours and not exposed to freezing temperatures for minimum 48 hours.

PREPARATION

Surfaces that will receive RubberCover Water Based Bonding Adhesive must be clean, smooth, dry, free of sharp edges, loose and foreign materials, oil, grease, and other contaminants. The mating surface shall be cleaned with a brush or clean rag. Restore the adhesive to room temperature (15°-25°C) before use if the product has been exposed to temperatures lower than 15°C for a prolonged period. Stir the adhesive thoroughly (to achieve a uniform mix with no sediment on the bottom and no marbling evident) before and during use.

COVERAGE

Coverage rate needs to be between 2.5 and 3m2 per litre. Some surfaces are more uneven and porous and will result in lower coverage rates, while smoother substrates are less porous and will therefore result in higher rates.

PRECAUTIONS

Refer to Material Safety Data Sheet. Avoid prolonged contact with skin. Keep away from eyes. Thinning is not allowed.

APPLICATION

AVENIR WATER BASED ADHESIVE

A non-flammable, water based SBR adhesive specifically developed for adhering membrane to ply on flat or gently sloping roofs. Contact adhesive is recommended for up-stands and other substrates.

Should be applied using a notched trowel or serrated spreader to an approximate coverage rate of 3m2 / litre. A larger quantity of adhesive is necessary for open texture and rough surfaces. Smooth surfaces such as plywood may require less adhesive up to a maximum of 4m2 / litre dependent on experience and technique of application. Do not dilute the adhesive or use on a damp surface.

PREPARATION

Surfaces should be clean, dry and free from dust, grease, loose material and other contaminants.

PRECAUTIONS

The roof sheet should be laid into the adhesive during this period and pressed firmly into the adhesive with a roller or squeegee. Ensure recently laid roof area is adequately protected against the elements. Protect adhesive from frost. Alternatively a desiccator can be connected to the small bung hole of the drum, which will dry the incoming air, replacing the adhesive used. Asuitable desiccator with the relevant pipework can be supplied by Abrabond. This will last for approximately 3 months prior to regeneration. Further information is available upon request. If water enters the drum of adhesive, it will react giving off carbon dioxide which can cause over pressurisation of closed cans and drums.

APPLICATION

FIRESTONE CONTACT ADHESIVE

The Firestone RubberCover Bonding Adhesive BA-2012 is a solvent-based contact adhesive designed specifically for bonding Firestone RubberCover EPDM membranes to approved insulations in addition to wood, metal, masonry and other acceptable substrates. Used for upstands and masonry. Allow adhesive to be touch dry before mating.

Apply RubberCover Bonding Adhesive BA2012 at about the same time onto both surfaces to be adhered, in order to allow approximately the same drying time. The adhesive can be manually applied using a solvent resistant roller, can be dispensed by means of a Rooftop SuperSpreader or can be applied using approved spray equipment. The latter methods may be used to achieve a more uniform coverage and obtain higher coverage rates. Contact Firestone for detailed information about RoofTop SuperSpreader and spray equipment.

Apply RubberCover Bonding Adhesive BA2012 evenly, avoiding areas of accumulation onto the mating surfaces. When applying RubberCover Bonding Adhesive BA-2012, ensure complete uniform coverage of both surfaces to be adhered. Care must be taken not to apply RubberCover Bonding Adhesive BA-2012 over seam areas.

Application temperatures may vary between 5°C and 35°C. At temperatures below 5°C the adhesive may become too thick for correct application. The condensation risk also increases at temperatures below 5°C. At temperatures above 35°C and when the membrane surface is exposed to direct sunlight drying time will be shortened significantly and may result in loss of tackiness. Work in smaller sections and check for tackiness before mating. Apply a second layer of adhesive if necessary.

Allow the adhesive to flash off until tacky (time depending on ambient air conditions) prior to mating the surfaces. Test the adhesive for its dryness using the touch-push test procedure. If the surface is porous, check thoroughly if there is sufficient adherence and apply an extra layer if necessary.

APPLICATION

FIRESTONE SPRAY CONTACT ADHESIVE

The Firestone RubberCover Bonding Adhesive BA-2016 S is a sprayable solvent-based contact adhesive designed specifically for bonding Firestone RubberCover EPDM membranes to approved insulations in addition to wood, metal, masonry and other acceptable substrates.

Gently apply the RubberCover BA-2016 S onto both surfaces to be adhered, first on the substrate and afterwards onto the EPDM membrane. The ideal distance between the surface and the nozzle of the spray gun or spray can is 25 - 30 cm. Try to apply the correct amount of adhesive in a single layer and avoid areas of accumulation. Care must be taken not to apply RubberCover BA-2016 S over seam areas.

Application temperatures may vary between 5°C and 30°C. At temperatures below 5°C the adhesive may become too thick and consequently an insufficient quantity of adhesive may be sprayed on the surface. The condensation risk also increases at temperatures below 5°C. At temperatures above 30°C and when the membrane surface is exposed to direct sunlight, the adhesive may dry too quickly for proper adhesion. Work therefore in smaller sections and always check for tackiness before mating.

Apply a second layer of adhesive if necessary. At high temperatures, protect the canister and hose from direct sunlight and keep the canister inside the carton. If the canister or the hose heats up, this may negatively affect the spraying pattern.

Allow the adhesive to flash off until tacky prior to mating the surfaces. Test the adhesive for its dryness using the touch-push test procedure. If the surface is porous, check thoroughly if there is sufficient adhesion and apply an extra layer if necessary.

Refer to the instructions in the Technical Information Sheet of the Spray Gun Kit for additional information regarding use of the canister.

WALKWAY PAD

The Firestone QuickSeam Walkway Pads are high quality rubber pads with QuickSeam Tape factory laminated to the bottom. They are used for protection of the Firestone RubberGard EPDM membrane in areas of regular roof traffic (periodical maintenance around mechanical equipment, access doors, etc.).

APPLICATION Position the QuickSeam Walkway Pads so that the flat surface is over the completed RubberGard EPDM membrane, spacing each pad a minimum of 25mm and a maximum of 150mm from each other to allow for drainage.

If the installation of the Pads over field fabricated seams or within 75mm of a lap edge cannot be avoided, the seam must be stripped in using QuickSeam Batten Cover/Flashing.

The cover strip must extend beyond the walkway pad a minimum of 150mm each side of the pad. Refer to the Firestone guidelines for specific installation instructions.

When installing walkway pads on a ballasted system, additional ballast must be added around the pads to maintain the required ballast coverage per m2

Do not install walkway pads within 3 m of a roof edge when used in conjunction with ballasted systems. Concrete paving stones must be used in these areas.

PREPARATION

The RubberGard EPDM surface must be prepared with QuickPrime Plus. Pre-cleaning with Splice Wash may be required. Use of other products is not allowed.

APPLICATION

FIRESTONE LAP SEALANT

Firestone Lap Sealant HS is a low volatile organic compound (LVOC) sealant designed to be used with Firestone Splice Adhesive SA-1065 for seam edge treatment applications and as a sealant in other applications as indicated by current Firestone specifications and details. Designed to seal and protect the exposed edge of Quickseam products

1. Surfaces to which Lap Sealant HS is applied must be clean, dry, and free from loose or foreign materials, oil, and grease.

2. Wait to apply seam edge treatment a minimum of four (4) hours after the completion of a flashing seam, but no later than the end of the next day following the completion of the seam. If inclement weather is threatening, apply Splice Adhesive SA-1065 to the edge of the flashing splice before leaving project.

4. Apply a layer of Splice Adhesive SA-1065 along the entire seam edge, a minimum of 1” (25.4mm) on each side of the step-off, following current Firestone Splice Adhesive SA-1065 application procedures. Allow the Splice Adhesive SA-1065 to flash-off properly. (Refer to current Firestone Specifications for readiness check.)

5. Using the plastic nozzle applicator supplied by Firestone, apply a continuous bead of Lap Sealant HS approximately 3/8” x 1/4” (9.5mm x 6.3mm) centered over the flashing seam edge. Be sure to keep the nozzle applicator centered over the lap step-off. Refer to current Firestone seam details.

PREPARATION

Prior to application of the Splice Adhesive SA-1065, if the seam edge has been contaminated, clean the seam edge a minimum of 1” (25.4mm) on each side of the step-off with Firestone QuickPrimeTM Plus Primer, and allow to dry.
