Field performance research of APP modified bitumen roof membranes and coatings - National Roofing Contractors Association

A multi-faceted field research program utilizing seven different APP modified bitumen membranes and three types of liquid applied reflective coatings began in 1991. This long-term project is intended to evaluate: 1) The performance of the various membranes and coatings, including comparison of the weathering effects on coated & uncoated membranes; 2) Comparative performance of coating application soon after membrane installation, versus coating application after the membrane has been allowed to weather (pre-weathering); 3) Thermal performance offered by coatings; and 4) Aspects of recoating. This paper includes: 1) information on the physical & thermal performance of the membranes & coatings through 11/92; 2) recommendations regarding membrane preparation prior to coating; 3) recommendations on coating; and 4) recommendations for improvements to RCMA, ARMA guide for membrane prepartion prior to coating. ...

The effect of reflective roof coatings on the durability of roof systems - National Roofing Contractors Association

The Roof Coatings Manufacturing Association has sponsored a study which includes test decks of built-up and modified bitumen membranes, as well as EPDM. Each roofing system is coated with aluminum-pigmented, asphalt-based (solvent and water), acrylic and styrene acrylic water-based elastomeric, SEBS solvent-based, and black asphalt emulsion coatings. The decks are exposed at three location including Florida, Ohio, and Arizona. Reflectance of the coatings and properties of the membranes on each of the test decks will be determined periodically during the study. Accelerated weathering data will also be generated to determine if there is a correlation with natural weathering. ...

Coatings control shake flammability - National Roofing Contractors Association

The drought and forest fires last summer have made fire protection of wood shake and shingle products a high priority. But there still is much confusion about the effectiveness of the various fire retardant treatments available. Fire retardant chemicals can be applied to wood products before or after installation. The Red Cedar Bureau recommends purchasing new wood products that have been treated under pressure with a fire retardant chemical mixture, but what about buildings with existing wood shake roofs or siding? Several after market treatments of fire retardant chemicals for application on existing wood shakes and shingles are available. This article focuses on what some options are for after installation treatment as well as toxicity concerns. ...

Field performance of APP mod bit membranes and coatings - National Roofing Contractors Association

The APP Weathering Farm is a long-term research projec that compares the weathering performances of 7 APP-modified bitumen membranes and three types of reflective roof coatings. In addition, the roof was designed to obtaind ata about the thermal performances offered by commonly applied reflective coatings. This article provides brief project background and reports on field observations of the coatings and membranes; laboratory characterization of control samples; change in reflectivities and thermal performances; and recoating a portion of the roof system. This article was adapted from the paper, Field Perofmances of APP Modified Bitumen Roof Coatings - the First Six Years. The entire paper can be found in the Proceedings of the Xth Congress of the International Waterproofing Association (IWA). ...

Industry Warms to Coldj Application, Roof coatings - National Roofing Contractors Association

Right for retrofit, new construction and maintenance, contractors are having another look at these old materials and new formulations. Reliable and cost-effective, cold-applied materials are emerging with new found respectability. Cold application systems are now atop buildings from coast to coast. New materialas are meeting a range of needs in the retrofit, new construction & maintenance/repair markets. That second look may be all it will take to win the support of contractors and building owners. ...

Coatings up on the roof - National Roofing Contractors Association

Whether youre seeking to maintain, protect or extend the service life of a well-performing roof; repair or restore an aging one; or enhance the performance or aesthetics of either, there is likely a coating solution for you.

Radiation Control Coatings: An Underutilized Energy Conservation Technology for Buildings - National Roofing Contractors Association

The application of radiation control coatings (RCC) to exterior roof and wall surfaces can effectively block solar heat gains to these building components and thereby significantly reduce cooling energy consumption and the sizing of cooling equipment. The key properties of RCCs are high solar reflectance & high ambient temperature emittance. RCCs offer a viable and cost effective alternative to bulk thermal insulation for buildings in warm climates. This paper discusses the status of the RCC technology and the benefits to be gained from the use of RCCs, including estimated reductions in cooling requirements and energy consumption. Projects are suggeted to demonstrate the full potential of RCC technology for building applications. ...

Reflective roof coatings: Their use reduces life cycle and energy costs - National Roofing Contractors Association

White reflective roof coatings have been successrully promoted for their use in sustainability, extending rooflife and reducing life cycle costs by acting as a protective layer over the roofing membrane. They also reduce the air conditioning energy load as the white surface reflects much of the infrared portion of the solar spectrum. These benefits have been seen experientially for over 25 years. This paper is the compilation of documented case histories that quantify the benefits of reflective roof coatings. ...
