Fleece backed EPDM is a high-performance waterproofing membrane consisting of an EPDM rubber layer bonded to a non-woven polyester or polypropylene fleece backing. This fleece back EPDM structure significantly improves adhesion to rough or porous substrates such as concrete, plywood, and insulation boards, making it an ideal solution for fully adhered roofing and civil engineering waterproofing systems.
As one of the most advanced forms of EPDM fleeceback roofing, fleece backed EPDM membrane is designed to deliver long-term durability, structural flexibility, and enhanced resistance to mechanical damage.
Key Advantages of Fleece Backed EPDM Roofing
1. Enhanced Puncture Resistance & Mechanical Strength
The integrated fleece layer acts as a reinforcement, greatly improving puncture resistance, tear strength, and tensile performance compared with standard EPDM membranes. This makes fleece backed EPDM roofing especially suitable for demanding applications where mechanical stress or substrate irregularities are present.
2. Superior Adhesion for Fully Adhered Systems
The primary advantage of fleece backed EPDM membrane lies in its exceptional bonding capability. During full-adhesion installation, the fleece backing absorbs adhesive and creates a stronger mechanical lock with the substrate. This significantly reduces the risk of wind uplift, delamination, and long-term failure, especially on concrete decks.
3. Improved Flexibility & Stress Absorption
By combining elastic EPDM rubber with a flexible fleece layer, epdm fleeceback roofing can effectively accommodate structural movement caused by thermal expansion, vibration, or settlement—without compromising waterproof integrity.
Typical applications include:
Commercial & Industrial Roofing: Warehouses, factories, shopping centers
Residential Low-Slope Roofs: Long-term, fully adhered waterproof systems
Municipal & Civil Engineering:
Tunnels and subways
Airports and railways
Parking decks and podium slabs
Reservoirs and sewage treatment plants
Swimming pools and water containment structures
In many civil construction projects, fleece backed EPDM roofing is used not only as a roofing membrane, but also as a structural waterproofing layer bonded directly to concrete.
