Coatings
A roof coating is a fluid material applied in the field as a film to the roof surface to provide weather protection to the original roof membrane. A coating protects the roof substrate from weather, specifically solar radiation, heat, and moisture. Coatings are typically composed of binders, pigments, fillers, modifiers, and a solvent.
Drying and Curing Mechanisms
For roof coatings, the term "dry" is not the same as "cured." A coating may be dry to the touch yet not fully cured.
- Tack free: Dust will not stick to the coating.
- Dry to touch: Touching with a finger, using the weight of the hand only, will not leave a fingerprint.
- Dry to recoat: The base coat may be walked on and the top coat can be applied.
A coating is considered "cured" when it has achieved its ultimate performance characteristics by becoming a solid film. Some coatings may take up to 30 days to fully cure.
Benefits of Properly Designed and Installed Roof Coatings
When properly designed and installed, roof coatings can:
- Improve reflectivity of a roof's surface.
- Reduce cooling loads on a building's interior.
- Possibly help reduce the heat island effect by reducing ambient air temperatures.
- Protect a roof substrate from further weathering and/or oxidation.
- Improve aesthetics of visible roof areas.
- Extend the expected service lives of some roof systems.
- Enhance a roof system's fire resistance.
- Provide a watertight system.
