Single-Ply Systems
EPDM System Benefits
- The Fully Adhered System using Acrylic Water Base Bonding Adhesive for fast installation means maximized installed cost value
- Fully Adhered Systems are ideally suited for irregular building configurations as well as steeply sloped commercial roofs, using solvent-based adhesive
- Simple and versatile Mule-Hide Tape Products make installation faster and easier
- UL and FM listed assemblies available
Strength
EPDM is a high tensile strength, single-ply membrane ideal for long-term watertight
integrity. EPDM is lightweight, ideal for new construction and retrofit systems
without adding excessive weight to the roof deck.
Flexibility
The membrane remains flexible in hot and cold temperatures so it will not
split or crack.
Long Lifecycle
It provides excellent resistance to ozone and UV and can handle the coldest
winters or the desert heat.
EPDM product Information
Mule-Hide membranes are manufactured under strict quality control and are available in a wide range of sheet sizes, lengths and membrane thicknesses through the largest nationwide distribution channel.
Standard Black EPDM Membrane
The most economical singly-ply membrane. Ideal for ballasted and fully adhered systems.
Standard Reinforced EPDM Membrane
Reinforced with tough polyester fabric for superior fatigue, tear, and puncture resistance Ideal for mechanically attached systems.
On-Black EPDM Membrane
Reflects the sunlight and cools the building interior leading to lower BTU usage and energy costs.
Fully adhered application is required. Meets CA Title 24, CRRC rated and ENERGY STAR listed.
Warranty Program
Mule-Hide offers an extensive warranty program with several options for commercial projects, including Membrane Warranties, Standard System Warranties and Premium System Warranties.

PVC System Benefits
Easy to Install, New or Retrofit Roof
Mule-Hide PVC Roofing Systems install quickly in one pass with a small, trained crew. All the accessories you need to complete roof details around edges and penetrations are also available.
Energy Efficient Roof
White surfaces have been shown to reflect up to 78% of the suns rays to reduce air-conditioning costs. The superb selectivity of white PVC even reduces the heat build-up under the membrane. PVC white membrane adds to the aesthetics of the building while increasing energy efficiency.
Flexibility
The membrane remains flexible in hot and cold temperatures so it will not split or crack. PVC can handle the desert sun, sand, arctic freezes, and torrential downpours.
The Best Life-cycle
PVC provides excellent resistance to fire, UV, airborne bacteria, and industrial pollutants such as air conditioning coolants. Reinforced membrane is engineered to remain dimensionally stable over time.
Lightweight yet Strong System
Weighing less than 1 lb. per square foot makes it ideal for new construction and retrofit installations without adding excessive weight to the roof deck. Stands up to repeated exposure to severe climates, high winds, building movement, and routine rooftop traffic.
Heat-Welded Seam Strength
Mule-Hide PVC roofs use a heat-welding process that fuses the membrane seams to form a permanent, watertight seal. Superior seam strength provides greater wind uplift resistance.
Code Compliance
UL and FM listed assemblies are available upon request.
Mule-Hide PVC means long-term performance in the toughest situations
- The flexibility and physical integrity to resist cracking after prolonged exposure to minus 30 F

Elastomeric – Product Features
LASTING RESORATION OR REPAIR KEEPS EXISTING ROOFS OPERATING EFFICIENTLY
Every year that a building owner can keep the existing roof operating efficiently, keeps money in their pocket. Comprising nearly one-third of operating costs, energy consumption is the single biggest expense to commercial building owners today. Investing in an energy efficient roof can reap substantial savings.
ENERGY EFFICIENT ROOFS
White Mule-Hide A-300 FINISH has been independently tested to EPA guidelines with results of initial solar reflectance values up to 86% and 3 year aged values up to 72%, plus emissivity values of 91%, can reduce surface temperatures on metal roofs by as much as 50F and interior temperatures by 15F.
EXTENDS ROOF LIFECYCLE
Advances in polymer chemistry have resulted in these professional grade products that protect building assets by extending the life of the existing roof.
EASY TO REPAIR
Scrapes or gouges in coated areas are usually repaired simply by cleaning and applying new product to the damaged area where it bonds to the existing coating.
FLEXIBILITY
Thermal shock, settling and seismic action can affect roofs. Mule-Hide Elastomeric Acrylic Coatings remain flexible in hot and cold temperatures (from 15F to 200F) to accommodate building movement and will not crack or blister like non-elastomeric paints & coatings.
