Features & Benefits

  • Reflectivity is greater than that of white mineral cap sheets. The coating reflects more than 70 percent of the sun’s rays, shielding the roof from damaging heat and ultraviolet radiation and protecting the asphaltic oils in the coating from damage to help prolong the service life of the roofing system. The building’s interior also remains cooler, reducing energy use and costs, keeping building occupants more comfortable, and enhancing the efficiency of rooftop air-conditioning equipment.
  • Contains a premium amount of aluminum pigment per gallon for unsurpassed protection against rust, fungus, and mold
  • Forms a strong bond with the base material
  • Offers excellent weathering characteristics and will not prematurely crack or dry out
  • Does not damage conventional asphalt-based roofing membranes
  • Reduces roof temperatures
  • Meets Miami-Dade-County Standards
