Energy Efficient Highly Reflective Cooler Roof Surface Extended Roof Life Millions of square feet of black EPDM roofing in the U.S. needs to be replaced or re-coated. Conklin has developed a system that provides the benefits of reflectivity or waterproofing and reflectivity without removing or replacing the existing membrance. The Conklin system is a 3-step process using two new products (WAC II and Conklin Tack Coat) and the proven performance of Rapid Roof III. The EPDM Coating System is a quality, economical solution your aged EPDM roof and existing reroofing needs. The EPDM Coating System is a three-step system using the new WAC II roofing surface cleaner, the new Conklin Tack Coat or primer and, Conklin's proven Rapid Roof III® top coat. These products, used together as a system, will provide an excellent system to coat aged EPDM membranes providing a highly reflective, energy-saving durable roof system. The Conklin system is definitely a problem solver that saves you money. Many times when a roof membrane starts to fail, there are only two options: do nothing and live with the leaks or tear the old roof off and replace it. Conklin's system gives you another option. Now you can coat the existing membrane and enjoy the benefits of reduced energy bills, a longer lasting roof, and the ability to apply the new membrane without major disruptions to your business. All at a less expensive price than reroofing! In addition, this system is completely sustainable - meaning you can continue to recoat the acrylic coating, as needed, for years and years to come! The Conklin EPDM Coating System provides a reflective coating of Rapid Roof III top coat over an existing EPDM roof membrane. The light colored coating reflects the majority of the sun's energy away from the roof surface, keeping the roof membrane and the workspace under the roof cooler. Ultimately, a cooler workspace requires less energy to keep cool. The average EPDM roof reflects five to six percent of solar energy away from the surface, while Rapid Roof III reflects 84 percent of the sun's energy away from the roof's surface. It is not unusual for a cool roof to lower roof top temperatures by 30 to 50 degrees! EPDM roof membranes have long suffered from premature degradation due to exposure to the elements. The dark surface absorbs large amounts of heat energy from the sun, causing the membrane to expand and contract to extreme levels. Over time this movement causes the membrane to shrink, and increases the possibility for the seams to leak. The Conklin coating system protects the existing membrane with a finish coat that reflects the sun's harmful rays away from the surface and effectively secures the seams of the membrane for a water-tight seal. No longer exposed to the majority of the sun's rays, the EPDM membrane will have a much longer life span. Recoats of Rapid Roof III can be applied as necessary to further increase the life of the roof. Our warranty program for your new Conklin roof system is extended with confidence.
