Product Data Sheet
EverGuard® PVC
EGSR™ - 80 Membrane

GAF EverGuard® EGSR™ -80 thermoplastic PVC copolymer single-ply membrane systems have been engineered to provide superior long-term performance and enhanced durability. Strong, flexible EverGuard EGSR-80 membrane is suitable for use in all types of single-ply systems:
• Mechanically Attached
• Ballast Applied
• Fully Adhered
• Paver Adhered

Compared to other heavy-duty single-ply EPDM, PVC and TPO membranes, GAF EverGuard EGSR-80 roofing membrane provides the benefits of all three materials in a single membrane:
 

System Type Main Benefits EverGuard PVC Membrane
EPDM Low Installed Cost Yes
PVC Heat Welded Seams, White Reflective Color  Yes
TPO No Liquid Plasticizers, Tear/Puncture Resistance Yes

Additional features and benefits of GAF EverGuard EGSR-50 roofing membrane include:
 

Consistent sheet thickness  • Compares favorably to typical TPO membranes that are significantly thinner between scrim reinforcement.
Formulated with DuPont Elvaloy solid polymer  • Compares favorably to typical PVC membranes that are formulated with liquid plasticizers and require a thicker sheet to function as a plasticizer reservoir.
Competitive 78" wide membrane sheets • Wider sheets allow faster roof system installation particularly when compared to "tab-type" systems that provide a securement tab every 50”-60”.
Resistant to chemicals, oils and grease • Allows installation on industrial applications, restaurants, etc. where chemical, oil and grease contamination would deteriorate typical PVC and EPDM membranes.*
Heat-welded seams • Heat-welded seams provide superior tensile and peel strength as well as superior long-term performance when compared to taped or glued EPDM membrane seams.
Non-wicking polyester scrim reinforcement  • Non-wicking heat-stabilized polyester scrim reinforcement eliminates the need for seam sealants required by other PVC and TPO membrane systems.
Standard reflective white color  • Energy-efficient white membrane reflects significantly more solar radiation than do typical black EPDM membranes, reducing heat load. Also available in a light gray color.
Superior tear and puncture resistance  • Tear and puncture resistance is superior to that of typical unreinforced EPDM membranes, comparable to the performance of thicker TPO and PVC membranes.
FM/UL approvals • Competitive FM/UL roof system approvals are available for installation over both noncombustible and combustible roof decks.
Single-source responsibility • All materials, including membrane, flashing, insulation, fasteners, and accessories, are included in standard guarantee coverage, both NDL and Dollar Per Square guarantees.
Proven performance  • In-field installations in all regions of the U.S. dating back 10 years.

*Damage resulting from oil, grease, or chemicals is not covered under EverGuard guarantee or limited warranty against manufacturing defects.
