本文记录了用于将单层EPDM橡胶屋面薄膜粘附到典型屋面基材（混凝土、木材、屋面隔热材料）上的粘合剂的评估和筛选。目前用于此目的的粘合剂是溶剂型氯丁橡胶基接触粘合剂。我们始终愿意评估供应商提交的新的和改进的粘合剂。此外，对粘合剂中VOC含量的新限制将要求对提交的新粘合剂进行评估，以满足这些VOC要求。定义了FIRESTONE对粘合剂的要求。制定并定义了特定的实验室测试和性能标准，以测试粘合剂的特定特性。

THIS PAPER CHRONICLES THE EVALUATIONS AND SCREENING OF BONDING ADHESIVES FOR ADHERING SINGLE-PLY EPDM RUBBER ROOFING MEMBRANE TO TYPICAL ROOFING SUBSTRATES (CONCRETE, WOOD, ROOFING INSULATIONS). CURRENT BONDING ADHESIVE FOR THIS PURPOSE IS SOLVENT BORNE NEOPRENE BASED CONTACT ADHESIVE. WE ARE ALWAYS WILLING TO EVALUATE NEW AND IMPROVED ADHESIVES SUBMITTED BY VENDORS. ALSO, NEW LIMITS ON VOC CONTENT IN ADHESIVES WILL REQUIRE EVALUATION OF NEW ADHESIVES SUBMITTED TO MEET THESE VOC REQUIREMENTS. FIRESTONE'S REQUIREMENTS FOR BONDING ADHESIVE WERE DEFINED. SPECIFIC LAB TESTS AND PERFORMANCE CRITERIA WERE DEVELOPED AND DEFINED TO TEST SPECIFIC CHARACTERISTICS OF THE ADHESIVE.
