  1. EPOX-Z NRG AN ENHANCED COOL ROOF COATING SOLUTION

  2. EPOX-Z NRG Why so much interest in Cool Roofs ?

  3. EPOX-Z NRG COOL ROOFS EQUATE TO BIG BENEFITS TO THE BUILDING OWNER AND THE ENVIRONMENT

  4. EPOX-Z NRG Improved Comfort because the building’s interior is subject to less thermal flux and stays cooler during the warm season Reduced Energy Costs because of reduced air-conditioning Longer AC unit life resulting from decreased air-conditioning loads Increased Roof Longevity due to reduced thermal flux of the roof

  5. 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 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 The excess trapped heat is gradually released to the ambient air throughout the day, evening and nighttime hours, warming up the urban core round the clock. The effect results in an environmentally negative and spiraling impact, including:

  6. EPOX-Z NRG Increased demand for air-conditioning in both air-conditioned and un-conditioned buildings, thus increasing the potential for the installation of air-conditioners in buildings that currently don’t need them Increased greenhouse gas emissions that contribute to global warming, released as a result of fossil fuel generated electricity to power air conditioners Increased smog formation.

  7. EPOX-Z NRG

  8. EPOX-Z NRG Two thermal properties that characterize cool roofs are solar reflectance and thermal emittance A cool roof minimizes the solar heat gain of a building by first reflecting incoming radiation and then by quickly re-emitting the remaining absorbed portion As a result, the cool roof stays cooler than a traditional roof of similar construction

  9. EPOX-Z NRG

  10. EPOX-Z NRG Have you defined your requirements for your cool roof projects? The Four Questions to Ask • Does this Cool Roof Coating meet the EPA’s Energy Star Requirements? • What is its weatherability? • What is the Manufacturers’ Warranty? • What is the installed cost?

  11. EPOX-Z NRG Why is EPOX-Z NRG the best available Cool Roof Coating ?

  12. EPOX-Z NRG To be effective any cool roof coating must first act as a barrier to prevent chemicals and moisture from reaching the roof surface In general, the more permeable a coating is to the passage of moisture as is typical of many water-reducible coatings, the greater its affinity for water and the greater the increase in transmission when tested in and exposed to high humidities …ASTM D 1653 Performance characteristics of coatings can be evaluated by laboratory protocol Specifically ASTMD 1653 for Permeability, ASTM D 714 for blistering and ASTM D 4214 for degradation or chalking

  13. EPOX-Z NRG ASTM D 714:Resistance to chemical or water penetration. Ratings are 1-10 with10 representing no visible signs of blistering which is the highest/best rating ASTM D 659 with the standard having four ratings: No. 2 (severe chalking), No. 4 (moderate to severe chalking), No. 6 (moderate chalking), and No. 8 (light chalking). ASTM D 1653 Permeability Coatings with ratings <1 are considered impermiable

  14. EPOX-Z NRG EPOX-Z achieved a rating of 10 as per ASTM D714, 8 per ASTM D 659 and 0.133 as per ASTM D 1653. The highest possible ratings achievable for these three combined protocols No other cool roof coating has published if they have achieved ratings per all three of these ASTM protocols Additionally EPOX-Z NRG has high thermal values TSR80 EMISSIVITY 84 SRI 99

  15. EPOX-Z NRG A single coat of EPOX-Z NRG replaces multiple coat systems. Epox-Z may be applied by brush, roller, conventional or airless spray EPOX-Z NRG is virtually odorless and contains no VOC's or other hazardous chemicals A single coat of EPOX-Z NRG is 33% less costly than other cool roof coating systems and can speed up the finishing process of any construction project

  16. EPOX-Z NRG Most all other reflective roof coatings are latex, acrylic, or elastomeric. The natural degradation rate of these coatings in exterior applications is one mil, one thousandth of an inch per year Ten times faster than EPOX-Z NRG’s rate These water based coatings lose more than 50% of their reflectivity over 3 years because of this degradation, which is also referred to as chalking

  17. EPOX-Z NRG • The average pH of rainfall in New York State ranges from 4.0 to 4.5, which is up to 30 times more acidic than "normal." • Acid deposition also damages building materials by eroding the ornamental facades, statuary and other vulnerable edifices that are an important part of our heritage.

  19. EPOX-Z NRG TECHNOLOGY EPOX-Z NRG IS BASED UPON A COMPLETELY UNIQUE CHEMISTRY THE NATURE OF THIS 100% SOLID SOLVENTLESS EPOXY LESSENS ANY ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT OF THE COATING AND ELIMINATES THE INCLUSION OF VOC CONTAINING MATERIALS FURTHER THE REVOLUTIONARY AND PROPIETARY CURING AGENTS ENABLE THE COATING TO ATTAIN PERFORMANCE LEVELS UNAVIALABLE ELSEWHERE IN THE MARKET

  20. EPOX-Z NRG THE MAJORITY OF COATINGS USE WATER OR VOC LADEN SOLVENTS AS THE VEHICLE TO MAINTAIN THE COATING IN A LIQUID STATE SO THAT IT CAN BE TRANSFERRED FROM THE CONTAINER TO THE SURFACE.THE DRYING PROCESS RELIES ON SOLVENT OR WATER EVAPORATION VOC’S ARE HARMFUL TO THE ENVIRONMENT AND ARE ALSO DETRIMENTAL TO THE COATING’S 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

  21. EPOX-Z NRG SOLVENTLESS EPOXY EPOX-Z NRG DOES NOT PRESENT ANY SOLVENT RISK IT DOES NOT EVAPORATE RATHER IT DEVELOPS A FULL CHEMICAL CURE AS OPPOSED TO THE PARTIAL CURING OF SOLVENT CONTAINING COATINGS THIS PROCESS ELIMINATES ANY SHRINKAGE WHICH LEADS TO EDGE CURLING EFFECTS OF OTHER COATINGS CURLING IS AN INDICATION OF STRESS WITHIN THE COATING AND IS A MAJOR CAUSE OF FAILURE

  22. EPOX-Z NRG FAQ’S • NO VOC’S • ABSENCE OF FLAMMABLE SOLVENTS • HIGH BUILD CAPABILITY • SUPERIOR CHEMICAL AND CORROSION RESISTANCE • EASE OF APPLICATION • NO PRIMER OR SPECIAL SURFACE PREP REQUIRED • SINGLE COAT APPLICATION REDUCES LABOR COSTS • NO SPECIAL APPLICATION EQUIPMENT NEEDED • NO VOC CONTAINMENT OR AIR HANDLING EQUIPMENT • ODORLESS • REFLECTS LIGHT IN BOTH THE VISUAL AND NEAR INFRARED SPECTRUMS

  23. EPOX-Z NRG As an ENERGY STAR PARTNER EPOX-Z Corporation has determined that NRG COOL ROOF COATING Meets or Exceeds the ENERGY STAR guidelines for energy efficiency When installed properly this product will help reduce energy costs. Actual savings will vary based upon geographic location and individual building characteristics. Consult EPOX-Z Corporation or certified roofing contractors for more information.
