Firestone EPDM Geomembrane, a high-performing rubber liner
The main component of Firestone Lining Systems is Firestone EPDM Geomembrane, a single-ply synthetic rubber waterproofing membrane made of ethylene – propylene – diene terpolymer, mixed with carbon black, oils, curing agents and processing aids. It is calendered into large sheets and vulcanized.
Key features and benefits
The success of Firestone EPDM Geomembranes can be attributed to their unique combination of benefits:
- High flexibility: Firestone EPDM Geomembranes
remain highly flexible even at very low
temperatures (down to –45 °C), enabling
year round installation in a variety of climates
and terrain.
- High elongation: Firestone EPDM Geomembranes can elongate over 300%, which enables the membrane to stretch and conform to objects in the subgrade.

- Superior weathering resistance: Firestone EPDM
Geomembranes offer unmatched resistance to
ultraviolet radiation and ozone.
- Quick and easy installation: Firestone EPDM
Geomembranes are available in large seamless
panel sizes up to 15m in width and 60m in length
resulting in fewer field seams and less
installation time.
- Low maintenance: Firestone EPDM Geomembranes
require little or no regular maintenance after
installation. The Geomembrane can survive normal
environmental exposure for well over 30 years.
- Environmentally friendly: Firestone EPDM Geomembrane is an inert material with low environmental impact during production and use. In addition, Firestone's EPDM manufacturing facilities have received ISO 14001 certification, a testimony of the company's commitment to environmental management.
