Based on Rohm and Haas’s 100% acrylic EC
Technology, intelligent white elastomeric
roof coatings are carefully
designed to reflect sunlight, unlike other roofs which absorb light
and turn it into heat. The result is a cooler building and reduced
cooling costs. The coatings are so effective that some states — like
California and Florida — even offer state rebates to owners
that use them.
White elastometric acrylic roof coatings, based on Rohm and Haas’s EC
Technology, can also extend the life of the roof, thanks to:
- A UV light barrier which prevents
substrate degradation
- Resistance to blistering under
extended ponding
- Low-temperature flexibility
- Resistance to asphalt staining
and dirt pick-up
- Outstanding adhesion
Energy Savings Calculators
The calculators are intended
to roughly estimate the savings a reflective
roof can offer a typical building. The outcome
can aid in the decision whether to choose
a reflective roof. If you are interested
in estimating savings for a particular building
or calculating
cost-benefit ratios for a project, consider
using a detailed building
energy simulation.
