Elastomeric Roofing - EnergyCote Coating

EnergyCote Coating Super-High Reflectivity

Description

EnergyCote is a brilliant white, water-based, low VOC, highly reflective, elastomeric coating, which cures to form a seamless rubber membrane. It has been specifically designed to treat seams, laps, flashings, and other edges and details in reflective cap sheet products such as the EnergyCap and CoolCap series of reflective membranes. It is highly reflective, flexible and, due to unique emulsion chemistry, resists unsightly bleed-through over asphalt substrates better than other coating systems. It is non-flammable, presents minimal hazard to the installer or the environment, and cleans up with water.


Uses

EnergyCote is designed to add reflectivity and protect areas of asphalt bleed-out on white reflective asphaltic roll roofing applications to give a uniform, brilliant white finish across the whole roof area. Matching granules may be broadcast into the asphalt bleed-out at seams prior to coating to enhance the finished appearance of the membrane.


Advantages
  • Highly compatible with asphaltic substrates and resistant to staining and asphalt bleed-through, even on fresh asphalt

  • Ideal for touch-up of reflective asphaltic membranes

  • No waiting period for exposed asphalt to age

  • Low VOC, non-flammable, and presents minimal hazard to the installer or the environment

  • Easy application by brush, roller, or spray
