Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
This section addresses common questions about EPDM roofing systems, including suitable substrates for acrylic water-based bonding adhesive applications, warranty fees, and the necessity of material invoices for warranty applications. It also discusses whether a total tear-off is required for labor and material warranties and the availability of pre-job services like 'walk the roof' or job starts.

Estimating Tips
Guidance is provided on coverage rates for EPDM accessories, adhesives, and sealants. For instance, acrylic water-based bonding adhesive covers 100-120 sq. ft. per gallon when applied one-sided, while solvent-based bonding adhesive covers 60 sq. ft. per gallon when applied two-sided.

Select-A-Membrane Chart
This chart assists in selecting the appropriate EPDM membrane type based on the roofing system, such as ballasted, mechanically attached, or fully adhered systems. It compares features like durability, membrane lifecycle, energy efficiency, and affordability across different membrane types and thicknesses.

Adhesive Types & Uses
The document details various adhesive types, including water-based and solvent-based options, and their specific applications. For example, the WBBA 2000 bonding adhesive is suitable for adhering EPDM, TPO, and PVC membranes to approved surfaces, while solvent-based adhesives are used for fully adhering EPDM and flashing materials to various substrates.

Procedures and Recommendations
Recommendations include using specific fasteners for insulation attachment on steel or wood decks and the necessity of using Mule-Hide Tape Primer with in-seam tape for strong, watertight seams. The document also advises contacting Mule-Hide for submittal packages or additional information.

Standards and Compliance
Information is provided on proving that Mule-Hide EPDM meets written specifications or complies with UL, FM, or other code requirements. This involves providing specific details such as the specification copy, UL/FM requirements, and building dimensions.
