Realistically, 100% acrylic coatings used as cool roof materials are no more waterproof than the average low-grade exterior wall paints. Acrylics are deficient in providing waterproof protection and durability.
Most roof coating “systems” are comprised of inexpensive black emulsions that are the “waterproofing” element of the system with a white “reflective” acrylic topcoat.
The problem is the waterproofing is on the bottom. Moisture/water infiltrates the acrylic and sits on the black emulsion. When the water tries to evaporate, it makes a big blister in the white coating. Over time, the bubble splits open exposing the black “waterproofing”. Fabric in the acrylic does help extend the time between application and failure, but the fabric is not waterproof by itself either.
The black material is deteriorated by the UV rays and absorbs heat which accelerates the process. At the end of the cycle the materials are unable to provide waterproofing, thermal emittance or reflectivity.
Metal Panel Roof System
Roof- SOLUTION
The SureCoat Roof System is a single component Epoxy Hybrid CRRC approved Waterproof Seamless Elastomeric Membrane. Energy Savings is relative to the product’s ability to reflect and emit heat. Compared to other Cool Roof Coatings, The SureCoat Roof System is at the high end of the spectrum with 93% thermal emittance and 91% Sunlight reflectivity. A more technologically advanced system does not exist on the market today.
Independent tests prove that with a high thermal emittance and reflectivity, the demand on HVAC equipment can be lowered by 11%-14%. This equates to a cooling cost savings of up to 40%. In addition to outstanding energy efficiency and Title 24 compliance, The SureCoat Roof System has a Class “A” fire rating.
Asphalt BUR System
The SureCoat Roof System is waterproof from surface to substrate. Innovative chemistry makes it impossible for the Sun’s UV rays to bake the energy saving or waterproofing attributes out of the coating. With continuous bonding ability, the SureCoat Roof material adheres to all clean prepared substrates without a primer or base coat. The SureCoat Roof System has a high solid content producing 10.426 dry mils per gallon.
As the SureCoat Roof System material wears, the same white surface is visible and doing the job protecting the building from the harsh elements as well as animal fats, pollutants, chemicals and other destructive exposures. See Engineering Specification for details.
The SureCoat Roof System has excellent adhesion and provides protection for all types of existing roof systems and materials including Foam, Metal, Steel, Aluminum, Concrete, Wood, Polyurethane Foams, Fiberglass, all types of BUR, Asphalt Granulated Cap Sheet, EDPM, Hypalon, PVC, Textile Fabric and Masonry.
The SureCoat Roof System is the only single component Epoxy Hybrid Elastomeric CRRC approved Monolithic Waterproof system on the market that has a manufacturer’s written warranty that covers Ponding Conditions on a flat roof. The SureCoat Roof System is Engineered for Excellence.
Installation-Full Recondition or Repair, Maintenance
The SureCoat Roof System is a single component epoxy-balanced monolithic elastomeric waterproof cool roof liquid applied membrane that is easily installed without special expensive equipment by certified installers. Call and find out how to become a certified SureCoat Roof System installer.
The SureCoat Roof System adheres to every type of existing roof surface and is self flashing. Additional penetrations are easily touched up with The SureCoat Roof System and will bond into the seamless membrane without delaminating. This is the last roof a building will ever need.
The SureCoat Roof System used on repairs will bond into a full reconditioning system at a later time. This is the only “add on” liquid applied Title 24 compliant system with a renewable warranty that covers ordinary ponding conditions on flat roofs.
Due to the continuous bonding properties of The SureCoat Roof System, repairs done with our material can be incorporated into a full system at a later time. Since the SureCoat Roof System material does not get brittle, split, checker or crack like mastics, the repair dollars spent on the roof are not wasted on mastics while waiting for a roof budget to be approved.
Routine maintenance using The SureCoat Roof System helps extend the life cycle of a roof. The SureCoat Roof System is perfect in the drain and waterway areas, at penetrations, skylights, equipment curbs, ponding areas and seams that are separating. This waterproof Cool Roof Compliant, UV resistant coating can add several seasons to a roof that only has issues in these areas. This will allow time for a roof budget to put in place without having to respond to emergency leaks that destroy ceilings, walls, carpet and furniture.
