PondGard Non-Reinforced EPDM Geomembrane (Black)

DESCRIPTION:

Firestone PondGard non-reinforced EPDM Geomembrane is a cured single-ply pond lining geomembrane.

PREPARATION OF SUBSTRATES:

1. Substrates must be clean, dry, smooth, and free of sharp edges, fins, loose or foreign materials, oil, grease, and other materials that may damage the geomembrane.

2. All roughened surfaces that can damage the geomembrane shall be repaired as specified to offer a smooth substrate.

3. All surface voids greater than 1/4" (6.3 mm) wide shall be properly filled with an acceptable fill material.

METHOD OF APPLICATION:

1. PondGard non-reinforced EPDM Geomembrane must be installed in accordance with current PondGard specifications, details and workmanship requirements.

STORAGE:

1. Store away from sources of punctures, and physical damage.

2. Assure that structural decking will support the loads incurred by material when stored on rooftop. The deck load limitations should be specified by the project designer.

3. Store away from ignition sources as geomembrane will burn when exposed to open flame.
