TRC: Techno Rubber Company

TRC - Techno Rubber Company - membrane, specifically its EPDM (Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer) roofing membrane, is considered one of the best available due to several standout features that address durability, practicality, and environmental considerations. Here’s where it excels: 

First, its durability is exceptional: made from a synthetic rubber compound, the membrane resists UV radiation, ozone, and extreme temperatures—ranging from as low as -45°C to scorching heat—without breaking down. This resilience means it can last over 50 years with minimal maintenance, making it a long-term investment for roofing projects. Its ability to elongate over 300% also allows it to flex with building movements, reducing the risk of cracks or tears.

Second, it’s designed for ease of use: the membrane comes in large sheets—up to 15.25m x 30.5m—which cuts down on seams and speeds up installation. Fewer seams means fewer potential leak points, and the flame-free, cold-applied adhesive process makes it safer and simpler to install, even for DIYers with basic tools. This efficiency lowers both installation time and cost.

Third, it’s eco-friendly: EPDM is an inert material, meaning it doesn’t release toxic chemicals during its life cycle, and its production has a low environmental footprint. Plus, it’s fully recyclable at the end of its lifespan, appealing to all those prioritising sustainability.

Additionally, the membrane’s premium quality is backed by rigorous standards. Produced in a high-capacity, ISO 9001-certified facility with cutting-edge technology, it meets European CE mark requirements for mechanical resistance, fire safety, and environmental protection. A 20-year warranty against weathering further underscores its reliability.
