Can EPDM be installed at airport facilities where jet fuel exhaust is present?
There is a misconception in the field that EPDM will degrade with exposure to jet fuel. This is unfounded because jet fuel is in a vapor form and the only degradation from petroleum products is caused by submerging EPDM in liquid petroleum over a prolonged period. There are numerous airport installations throughout North America, the Mideast, and the Far East where EPDM membrane was utilized.
