Rubberbond Fleeceback with Factory Applied Tape

FleeceBACK Membranes are fabricated with a patented hot melt adhesive technology which provides consistent bond strength between the fleece backing and the membrane. 45 mil non-reinforced EPDM to 55-mil thick fleece results in a total finished sheet thickness of 100-mils or (2.54mm). FleeceBACK provides 40% greater puncture resistance and 180% greater tear resistance than conventional 60-mil EPDM.

FleeceBACK and RubberBond adhesives offer non-penetrating design solutions. Adhesive is used to bond FleeceBACK membrane to various substrates. These have a long industry history of more than 15 years, are extremely lightweight and afford contractors an efficient and expeditious alternative to traditional bonding methods. Compatible deck types include concrete, cellular lightweight concrete, gypsum, cementitious wood fibre, wood and painted or galvanized steel. Compatible insulations include Wood Fibreboard, Polyiso, and OSB. For re-roofing options, RubberBond Adhesives are compatible with smooth or surfaced BUR, mineral cap sheet, smooth or granule-surfaced Mod-Bit.

For one of the strongest fully-adhered single-ply installations in the industry, specifiers are recommending Carlisle and RubberBond’s patented FleeceBACK System. For new and reroofing installations, Adhesive is applied to the deck and FleeceBACK membrane is rolled into the adhesive. Seams are sealed with factory applied SecurTAPE™. Factory applied SecurTAPE is an industry leading engineering breakthrough. It increases the safety, reliability, consistency and speed of application. These systems can achieve wind uplift ratings of up to FM 1-945. FleeceBACK adhered systems can also be installed over insulation which has been mechanically-attached to the deck (if penetration is not an issue).

Attendees participate in a one-day, hands-on workshop learning about FleeceBACK membranes, adhesive and accessories, followed up with onsite training for all contractors.
