The main component of Firestone Lining Systems is Firestone EPDM Geomembrane, a single-ply synthetic rubber waterproofing membrane made of ethylene – propylene – diene terpolymer, mixed with carbon black, oils, curing agents and processing aids. It is calendered into large sheets and vulcanized.

Key features and benefits

The success of Firestone EPDM Liners can be attributed to their unique combination of benefits:

• High flexibility: Firestone EPDM Liners remain highly flexible even at very low temperatures (down to –45 °C), enabling year round installation in a variety of climates and terrain.

• High elongation: Firestone EPDM Liners can elongate over 300%, which enables the membrane to stretch and conform to objects in the subgrade.

• Superior weathering resistance: Firestone EPDM Liners offer unmatched resistance to ultraviolet radiation and ozone.

• Quick and easy installation: Firestone EPDM Liners are available in large seamless panel sizes up to 15m in width and 61m in length resulting in fewer field seams and less installation time.

• Low maintenance: Firestone EPDM Liners require little or no regular maintenance after installation. The Geomembrane can survive normal environmental exposure for well over 30 years.

• Environmentally friendly: Firestone EPDM Geomembrane is an inert material with low environmental impact during production and use. In addition, Firestone’s EPDM manufacturing facilities have received ISO 14001 certification, a testimony of the company’s commitment to environmental management
