ASPHALT

 

Developed over a century ago, asphalt shingles have proven to be one of the most cost-effective solutions for commercial applications.Commercial Roofing

Used in many steep-slope commercial roofing applications, asphalt shingles are available in a tremendous range of colors and styles. Designers, builders and owners have literally hundreds of asphalt shingle products to choose from. Asphalt shingles are available in a basic “three-tab” design; the middle-range “dimensional” or “laminated” shingle (most popular option in new home construction); and the “top-of-the-line” heavyweight shingles.
Noted for their low cost and ease of application, asphalt shingles continue to be popular due to their great look. No matter the architectural or style requirement, there is an asphalt shingle produced that will fit in very nicely.

EPDM

EPDM is a rubber material whose principal components consist of the compounds ethylene and propylene. A flexible rubber matrix forms when a small amount of cyclopentadiene(the "catalyst") is added to the mix.It has been available in a cured (vulcanized) state. It is only recently that EPDM has been available as a liquid.

Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer (or Terpolymer which is simply a product consisting of three distinct monomers). The can contains the ethylene and propylene (plus a pigment) in a solvent. The "catalyst" is the diene which when added to the ethylene and propylene form a chemical reaction. The product is pure EPDM rubber. There are no additives in the product.

EPDM is classified as a Thermoset material which means it is either fully-cured prior to being installed or that as liquid EPDM it cures during natural weathering after installation. EPDM roofs are single-ply membranes meaning there is only one ply of roofing material, not multiple plies laminated together.
EPDM has been in use on roofs in the USA since the 1960's and is one of the most common types of low-slope roofing materials. This is because it is relatively inexpensive, simple to install, and fairly clean to work with when compared to conventional built-up roofs.

Liquid Rubber® is a unique form of EPDM Rubber. As a liquid it can conform to any shape of roof, flashing, or protrusion, vertical or horizontal, and can be applied easily with a paintbrush, roller, or airless sprayer for larger areas. When mixed with a catalyst it cures by chemical reaction to form a self-adhering seamless sheet.

EPDM rubber has been used in sheet form for more than 30 years. It is probably the most durable roofing product ever developed. Liquid Rubber is identical chemically to the sheet EPDM but with the distinct advantage of being a liquid. Because Liquid Rubber and vulcanized EPDM have identical chemical composition, they have very similar performance characteristics.

EPDM rubbers have a long history of reliability in automotive and industrial applications. Radiator hoses in cars and gaskets on freezer doors are made of EPDM rubber. This illustrates its true ability to perform in extreme environments.


INDUSTRIAL-COATINGS

 

 

EPDM Roof Recoating

Commercial Roofing A complete system designed to deliver improved reflectivity and waterproofing to aged Modified systems and aged Mechanically-fastened and fully adhered EPDM membrane roofing systems. The membrane is cleaned, primed and all seams are reinforced using fabric embedded in acrylic elastomeric roof coatings. The finish coat provides excellent waterproofing and cools the roof surface, reducing the damaging effects of thermal radiation.

 

White Mule-Hide A-300 FINISH Coating has been independently tested to EPA guidelines with results of initial solar reflectance values of up to 86% and 3-year aged values up to 72%; plus emissivity values of 91 %. Reflectivity is the percentage of the sun’s heat a roof keeps off a building, and emissivity is the percentage of heat a roof lets out of a building. Can reduce surface temperatures on metal roofs by as much as 50 degrees F.

 

 

 

Metal Roof
Commercial Roofing

 

Recoating
A complete waterproofing system for metal roofs that inhibits rust, stops leaks, and provides an energy efficient, long-lasting and attractive finish coat for years of service. All seams are reinforced with fabric reinforcement embedded in acrylic elastomeric roof coatings. Exposed fasteners are sealed from the elements with premium caulking. Finally, the entire surface of the roof is protected with one coat of the industries-leading roof coatings. The system is an effective method for preserving an existing metal roof without the need for costly metal repairs or replacement.
