There is a lot of confusion and myths regarding testing conventional roof assemblies using Electronic Leak Detection. Here is a TECHNICAL NOTE to help clear up the confusion.
Other conductive mediums such as the Vector Mapping Grid (VMG), is often placed incorrectly below the coverboard or insulation.
FEATURES
- UL Listed & FM Approved
- Made in the USA
- Provides the required conductivity per ASTM D8231-19 for valid ELD testing on conventional roof assemblies, including black EPDM
- Compatible with high voltage and low voltage ELD methods
- Chemically and mechanically compatible with fully-adhered, mechanically attached and torch-down membrane systems
- Less than 30-minute dry time under normal conditions
- Retesting can be performed for the life of the membrane, should a breach occur at a later date
- Non-reflective, flat black to ensure complete coverage
- Water-based (non-flammable & solvent-free)
- Low VOC, meets Southern California’s strict emissions control requirements for primers
- Roll, spray, or pre-apply to cover boards, insulation or wood
- Easily applied to transitions and details where other conductive mediums cannot be used
- Each 5 gallon pail covers approximately 1,250 square feet on most common roofing coverboards. Porous substrates such as wood reduces the coverage rate
