In this program the participants will learn about the physical characteristics of different types of fleece-backed single-ply membranes, including EPDM, TPO, PVC, and KEE HP, as well as the benefits of the addition of fleece to the membranes. Benefits of two-part urethane adhesives will be discussed, including reducing VOCs and adhesive order risks, product performance, different methods of application, and packaging. We will review two-part urethane adhesives on new construction and re-roofing options, then discuss the benefits to the building owner as well as the sustainability and durability of the roofing assembly.
