EPOX-Z NRG Why So Much Interest in Cool Roofs?
EPOX-Z NRG Cool Roofs Equate to Big Benefit$ for the Building Owner and the Environment Improved Comfort- The Buildings Interior is Subject to Less Thermal Flux and Stays Cooler During the Warm Season Reduced Energy Costs- Due to Reduced Demand on HVAC Increased Roof Longevity- Resulting From Reduced Thermal Flux on Roof
EPOX-Z NRG Cool Roofs Are Distinguished Among Energy Conservation Measures Because of The Many Environmental Benefits They Can Provide This is Attributed to The Fact That They Combat The Urban Heat Island Effect
EPOX-Z NRG URBAN HEAT ISLAND EFFECT The Urban Heat Island Effect is a phenomenon that is characterized by a measured increase in the ambient air temperature in cities over their surrounding rural areas. This is due to roofs and other non-reflective surfaces that absorb and trap solar radiation — or heat.
EPOX-Z NRG The Urban Heat Island Effect Causes: • Trapped Heat to be Released Into the Air Morning, Noon and Night Warming the Urban Core Around the Clock • Environmentally Negative and Spiraling Impacts
EPOX-Z NRG The Impact to Your Bottom Line and the Environment Include: Increased Demand for Air-Conditioning in Both Conditioned and Unconditioned Buildings Increased Potential for the Installation of HVAC Systems in Buildings That Currently do not Need Them Reduced Lifespan of Current Air Conditioning Systems Increased Greenhouse Gases Increased Electricity Load Increased Contribution to Global Warming as a Result of Fossil Fuel Generated Electricity Increased Smog Formation
EPOX-Z NRG Two Thermal Properties That Characterize Cool Roofs Are Solar Reflectance and Thermal Emittance. ACool Roof Minimizes The Solar Heat Gainof a Building byFirst Reflecting Incoming Radiation, Then by QuicklyRe-emitting the Remaining Absorbed Portion. As a Result, The Cool Roof Stays Cooler Than a Traditional Roof of Similar Construction.
EPOX-Z NRG Have You Defined Your Requirements for Your Cool Roof Projects?
EPOX-Z NRG The Four Questions to Ask: • What is its Weather-Ability? • What is The Manufacturers’ Warranty? • What is The Installed Cost? • Does This Cool Roof Coating Meet The EPA’s Energy Star Requirements?
EPOX-Z NRG Why is EPOX-Z NRG The Best Available Roof Coating???
EPOX-Z NRG Compare to Other Coatings
EPOX-Z NRG To Be Effective- Cool Roof Coatings Must first be an effective coating : Act as a Barrier Against Moisture-ASTM D 1653 Resist Blistering- ASTM D 714 Resist Degradation and Chalking- ASTM D 4214
EPOX-Z NRG How These Protocols Are Rated: ASTM D714: Resistance to Chemical or Water Penetration Ratings Are 1-10: 10 Represents No Visible Signs of Blistering (Highest Rating) ASTM D4214 Chalking And Degradation No. 2 Severe Chalking No. 4 Moderate to Severe Chalking No. 6 Moderate Chalking No. 8 Light Chalking ASTM D1653 Permeability Coatings With a Rating Under 1.0 Are Considered IMPERMEABLE
EPOX-Z NRG EPOX-Z has Achieved Ratings of: 10 As Per ASTM D714- Blistering 8 As Per ASTM D4214- Chalking 0.133 As Per ASTM D1653- Permeability These Are The Highest Possible Ratings Achievable For These Three Protocols!!!
EPOX-Z NRG No Other Roof Coating Company Has Published If They Have Achieved Rating Per All Three of These ASTM Protocols Additionally EPOX-Z Has High Thermal Values TSR= 80 Emissivity= 84 SRI= 99
EPOX-Z NRG Application and Cost One Single Coat of EPOX-Z NRG Replaces Multiple Coat Systems No Primer Required- Less Material and Less Labor Short Cure Time- Full Cure in 48 Hours Better Coverage- 100% Solids Safe- NO VOCs Virtually Odorless No Hazardous Chemicals One Single Coat of EPOX-Z is 33% Less Costly Than Other Cool Roof Coatings and Can Speed Up The Finishing Process of Any Roof Construction Project
EPOX-Z NRG EPOX-Z May be Applied by: Brush Roller Conventional or Airless Sprayer A Well Trained Four Man Crew Can Spray up to 4000 Sq. Ft. Per Hour
EPOX-Z NRG EPOX-Z NRG Vs. The Competition • Most Reflective Coatings Are a Water Based Acrylic, known as Elastomeric • The Natural Degradation of These Coatings is 1 mil Per Year • 10X Faster Breakdown Than EPOX-Z NRG • These Other Coatings Lose More Than 50% of Their Reflectivity Within 3 Years (Chalking)
EPOX-Z NRG Acid Deposition (Acid Rain) The Average pH of Rainfall in New York State is 4.5 Which is 30 Times More Acidic Than Normal Acid Deposition Damages Buildings by Eroding: • Roofs • Facades • Statuary • Other Vulnerable Edifices
EPOX-Z NRG Technology EPOX-Z is Based Upon a Completely Unique Chemistry 100% Solventless Formulation Reduces Environmental Impact Eliminates Materials Containing VOCs Curing Agents Enable Coating to Attain Performance Levels Unavailable Elsewhere in The Market
EPOX-Z NRG The Majority of Coatings Use Water or VOC Laden Solvents to Maintain The Coating in a Liquid State so it Can Be Applied The Drying/Curing Process Relies on Solvent or Water Evaporation These VOCs Are Extremely Harmful to The Environment , The Coatings Performance These Coatings May Not be Able to Allow The Solvents or Water to Fully Evaporate Resulting in Blisters, Voids, Pinholes, or Soft Spots in The Coating.
EPOX-Z NRG Solvent-Less EPOX-Z EPOX-Z Does Not Present Any Solvent Risk EPOX-Z Develops a Full Chemical Cure EPOX-Z Does Not Shrink EPOX-Z Does Not Curl Due to The Stress of Evaporation During Curing Which is a Major Cause of Coatings Failure
EPOX-Z NRG FAQs NO VOC’s Absence of Flammable Solvents High Build Capability Superior Chemical and Corrosion Resistance Ease of Application- Brush Roller or Spray No Primer or Special Surface Prep Required Single Coat Application Reduces Labor Costs No Special Equipment Needed No VOC Containment or Air Handling Equipment Odorless Reflects Light in Both The Visual And Near Infrared Spectrums
EPOX-Z NRG As an ENERGY STAR Partner, EPOX-Z Meets or Exceeds the ENERGY STAR Guidelines for Energy Efficiency When Installed Properly EPOX-Z NRG Will Help Reduce Energy Costs (Actual Savings Varies by Geography) Please Consult EPOX-Z Corporation For More Information
