RubberGard™ EPDM SA — 3X Faster Installation

The only EPDM membrane with a factory-applied adhesive. RubberGard™ EPDM SA eliminates the mess, odor, and variability of liquid bonding adhesives — letting NJ Roofing crews install faster, cover more roofs per season, and deliver a more consistent result on every project.

  • Superior cold-weather performance — creates a strong bond even in temperatures as low as 20°F (-7°C), extending NJ's roofing season into fall and winter
  • Zero VOCs, zero odor — compliant with all regulations, safe for occupied buildings including hospitals, schools, and commercial facilities
  • Uniform adhesion coverage — factory-applied adhesive eliminates inconsistent field coverage rates, creating exceptionally strong roofing systems seam to seam
  • 180+ lb/sq ft wind-uplift resistance — achieves FM 1-780 rating, far surpassing traditional wind-uplift requirements
  • Elevate Secure Bond technology — providing proven strong bond since 2015 across thousands of commercial installations
