New Sizes of White-on-Black SA EPDM Membranes and Flat Poly ISO Panels Streamline Installation
Key Details
- Low-slope roofing manufacturer MuleHide has expanded its lineups of White-on-Black Self-Adhering (SA) EPDM and Poly ISO 1 flat insulation, adding new membrane and panel sizes that streamline installation.
- White-on-Black SA EPDM is now available in compact 5’ x 40’ rolls. Lightweight and portable, they are ideal for high-rises, tight urban spaces and residential low-slope roofs. They combine the time-tested performance of EPDM, the energy efficiency of a reflective white roof, and the dramatic labor savings of a self-adhering membrane.
- Poly ISO 1 flat insulation is now available in longer 4’ x 12’ panels. On large commercial roofing projects, the longer panels improve crew productivity and lower jobsite costs by reducing the number of panels and insulation seams and, on certain mechanically attached systems, the number fasteners required.

Poly ISO 1 flat insulation is now available in longer 4’ x 12’ panels. Designed for use on large commercial roofing projects, they can boost crew productivity by up to 34% and reduce labor and materials costs compared to traditional 4’ x 8’ panels.

Narrower, shorter and lighter than the usual 10-foot-wide rolls, the new White-on-Black SA EPDM rolls join the 5’ x 40’ rolls of black SA EPDM introduced last year. Designed for portability, they weigh approximately 80 pounds and fit in the back of a standard pick-up truck. Like all MuleHide SA EPDM membranes, they install up to 80% faster compared to using traditional bonding adhesive and deliver industry-leading flexibility, weatherability and cold-temperature performance. The reflective white surface keeps rooftop and interior temperatures lower, reducing utility costs and maximizing the efficiency of rooftop air-conditioning equipment.
4’ x 12’ Flat Poly ISO 1 Insulation Panels
At four feet longer than traditional Poly ISO boards, the new 4’ x 12’ panels give contractors a simpler, faster and more efficient option for large commercial roofing projects. Fewer panels are required to complete a job. The fastener pattern is reduced on certain warranty-eligible mechanically attached systems. There are fewer seams to complete on mechanically attached systems. The result is a dramatic boost in crew productivity and lower labor and materials costs. Like other MuleHide flat Poly ISO boards, the panels have a dark facer on one side and a light facer on the other, allowing contractors to manage flash-off times in fully adhered applications by adjusting surface temperature depending on weather conditions. The 20 psi panels are available in thicknesses ranging from 1.5” to 3.5” to achieve desired R-values.
