Frequently Asked Questions

Have the ASTM standards for linear dimensional stability (for EPDM) been modified?

Maintenance of EPDM Roofs
The ASTM standard for linear dimensional stability (ASTM D 1204) was originally 2% maximum. In the mid-90s the standard was changed to 1% maximum. The change in the ASTM standard was influenced by the belief that membrane shrinkage may be a contributor to the bridging seen on some old ballasted applications. In reality, EPDM has always exhibited a dimensional stability value of much less than 1%, even when the ASTM Standard was 2%.

How are ASTM standards developed?

ASTM International - Standards Worldwide
Standards development work begins when members of an ASTM technical committee identify a need or other interested parties approach the committee. Task group members prepare a draft standard, which is reviewed by its parent subcommittee through a letter ballot. After the subcommittee approves the document, it is submitted concurrently to the main committee and the entire membership of ASTM.

What is EPDM?

ECOsurfaces Commercial Flooring, Recycled Rubber Flooring
EPDM (Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer) is an organic synthetic elastomer which, when cured, has many properties equivalent to or better than those of natural virgin rubber. During the production of the EPDM polymer, there are several additives which are used to enhance color stability, wear characteristics, durability and flexibility. The original state of this EPDM is actually scrap derived from the manufacturing of virgin EPDM.

What is buoyancy? What is stability?

AVE - FAQ
air mass is buoyant when its density is less than the density of the ambient air within which it resides. An air mass with the potential of becoming buoyant when it is raised is unstable. Non-buoyant air can have the potential of becoming buoyant if the release of latent heat causes its decrease in temperature with height to be less than the ambient lapse rate.

What about the stability of probiotics?

Wholeistic Solutions FAQ
There are many issues to consider when looking at Probiotics or a Probiotic blend. For example, some Probiotics such as Lactobacillus acidophilus and Bifidobacterium bifidum are considerably more stable than others. However, when you put them in a blend, their stability can be compromised. Despite this, the increased benefits of multiple strains outweigh the level of compromise. Whole-istic Solutions has chosen what independent tests have shown to be the most stable probiotics available.
