Acrylic Elastomeric Roof Coatings Acrylic Elastomeric roof coatings are liquid-applied, fully adhered, elastomeric functional membranes formed in-situ on the existing roofing membrane creating a uniform, seamless surface. Acrylic roof coatings take advantage of the inherent durability of acrylics, and are designed to be very elastic and flexible over a wide temperature range to expand and contract to protect a roof's surface from the sun's damaging rays. Acrylic coatings employ technology to resist dirt pick-up. This helps maintain energy-saving reflectance qualities, as well as a bright, clean appearance. Technically, these coatings are much more than paints. In the sense of being adherent to the substrate to which they are applied-in this case, the existing roof-they are paint like. However, their elastomeric feature, which distinguishes them from paints, means they are also flexible. Acrylic roof coatings can be a long-term economical solution for your roof. These coatings applied to traditional roofing systems comply with new regulations and help a building obtain ENERGY STARŪ or LEED Green Building Rating SystemŪ certification. Building owners and facility managers nationwide are realizing the lasting benefits of elastomeric roof coatings. |
