Roofing systems have evolved in a variety of ways to meet the changing needs of architects and contractors. Adhesives are an important aspect of those systems and have changed over time to meet the new goals for sustainable and healthy buildings. This webinar will offer a look at how architects, contractors, and other specifiers can better understand the application and adhesive requirements for roller and spray application of bonding adhesives and primers for a variety of membrane attachment systems. In particular, it will look at the rising trend of PVC attachment membranes that reflect the larger needs of the built environment, which is now so focused on healthy and sustainable living.
