The Membrane That Started it All.
25 Years of Proven, Real World Performance
Stevens CSPE is
a reinforced, hot air weldable membrane based on DuPont Performance
Elastomer's Hypalon®, chlorosulfonated polyethylene (CSPE) synthetic rubber.In its initial, manufactured form, Stevens
CSPE* is thermoplastic in nature, which allows it to be hot-air
welded. After installation and exposure to the environment, the
membrane's individual polymer components cross link forming a highly
stable, synthetic rubber material. Once cured to its
ultimate strength, Stevens CSPE* shows little change in extensibility
and provides high resistance to a broad range of chemicals.
Applications
Stevens CSPE* is ideally suited for commercial, industrial and institutional
applications, especially where strong chemical resistance is required. The material is available in
white and light gray (special order), nominal 45 mil (1.14 mm) and 60 mil (1.52)
thickness in standard 76.5-inch wide rolls x 100-feet long (1.9m wide x 34m long).
Attachment Options
Stevens CSPE* membranes can be installed
using several methods, including:
- Mechanically Attached
- Fully Adhered
- Stone Ballasted
- Paver Ballasted
- Vented Roof System (VRS)
Energy
Efficient White Membrane
White Stevens CSPE* membranes meet the EPA Energy Star Roof Products Program
requirements (Initial Solar Reflectance of 85%/Aged 77%) and are California Title 24 compliant.
Substrate
Compatibility
Stevens CSPE* is suitable for
direct contact over:
- EPDM
- Modified Bitumen
- Bituminous BUR
- CPE
- Asphalt
- Aged Coal-Tar Pitch
ISO-9001
In addition, Stevens CSPE* membranes are
manufactured in an ISO 9001 certified facility.
Model Building Codes
In addition Stevens CSPE* has
international code approvals including Underwriters Laboratories of
Canada, and German DIN 16726.
Fire and
Wind Resistance
Stevens CSPE* is classified UL Class A
by UL and Approved Class 1A by Factory Mutual for effectiveness against
fire exposure originating from outside the building. A Class A
fire rating is available for high slope applications.Every roll of Stevens CSPE* bears the
UL Label and Classification Marking, as well as the FM approval mark.
This assures the specifier, owner and contractor that every square foot
of Stevens CSPE* is manufactured under the strict criteria of these
third-party quality assurance organizations.Mechanically attached Stevens CSPE* has
passed FM testing for 1-90 Wind Uplift resistance. Fully adhered
Stevens CSPE* can also meet a 1-735 Windstorm Classification rating
under specific conditions.
Warranty
Options
Dow Roofing Systems offers warranties on successfully
completed roofs installed by a Dow Roofing Systems Authorized Applicator. These
warranties range in scope from coverage of the materials only to that of
the entire system assembly for a time of 5 years up to, for some
