EnviroGard Reflective Roof Coating to Address Environmental Concerns
Honeywell Commercial Roofing Systems offers EnviroGard?, a reflective
roof coating designed to provide the roof membrane with an extra layer of protection
in addition to superior reflective properties. The product's reflective
qualities help lower the membrane temperature, reducing the building's
energy demands while also reducing the amount of heat being emitted into the
environment ? a growing concern in some urban areas.
A 100 percent acrylic blend fortified with a concentrated level of titanium
dioxide pigment, EnviroGard provides a bright white, elastomeric protective
film compatible with a variety of roof surfaces. Applying a reflective roof
coating can add value to a building by extending its roof's serviceable
life.
"Smooth and granular surfaced roof membranes suffer more from the effects
of heat, accelerated thermal cycling and ultra violet exposure," said William
Spencer, Manager of Business Development at Honeywell. "The EnviroGard
reflective roof coating effectively lowers the roof membrane temperature, reducing
thermal shock stresses that can damage the membrane."
EnviroGard contains adhesion promoters, UV blockers and fungicides to resist
discoloration from environmental contaminates, and limit membrane deterioration
due to UV exposure, oxidative weakening and biological growth. EnviroGard meets
current environmental requirements and applicable VOC standards.
With a cold flexibility to ?30ºF, EnviroGard can withstand the stresses
of cold as well as hot climates.
A highly reflective, energy saving coating, EnviroGard can be applied over smooth
or granular surfaced asphalt built-up roofs and asphalt and coal tar modified
bitumen membranes.
An EnviroGard primer is also available for roof membranes that require a pre-treatment
to reduce the chances of coating discoloration caused by oils leaching from
the roof membrane.
EnviroGard roof coating requires no heating or thinning before application.
The coating can be applied using a roofing brush, long nap roller or airless
sprayer.
