Abstract
Rohm & Hasas Company has been investigating the use of white acrylic roof coatings to reduce air conditioning demand since 1981. Early experiments clearly demonstrated that white elastomeric coatings could reduce the internal temperature of uninsulated and poorly ventilated buildings significantly. Moreover, these coatings could prolong the life of a roof by protecting the asphalt roofing material below from degradation by heat, sunlight, water and thermal shock.
