Liquid roof coatings are aftermarket products designed to extend life, seal leaks, or merely provide a heat reflective or aesthetic function over existing roof surfaces. There are many products on the market ranging from asphalt based products, rubber solution [Hypalon, Neoprene, and Silicone], water based Acrylic and other emulsions, and chemically curing systems such as urethanes and now Liquid Roof®. Choosing the right product requires some knowledge of the strengths and weaknesses of each.
The most widely used coatings for RV Roof Leaks Repair are Acrylic elastomeric products. These are easy to use, have good weather ability and cure quickly in warm weather. The weakness of these products, however, comes from the fact that they are water-based emulsions which make them vulnerable to sudden showers or freezing temperatures soon after application, and they have inherently poor resistance to ponding water. Another drawback for the Acrylic products is that they do not work over single ply EPDM membranes.

Energy Guard Elastomeric Roof Coatings
Energy Guard™ Elastomeric Roof Coating is a high solids, acrylic elastomeric coating for all types of roofs.
BASIC USES
Built Up Roofing (BUR), Concrete Roofs, Masonry, Metal Roofs, Modified Bitumen, Polyurethane Foam, Single Ply Roofing and Wood.
ADVANTAGES
• Provides a seamless, durable membrane.
• Superior adhesion to various substrates.
• Contains fungicides and mildewcides.
• Excellent UV protection for polyurethane foam.
• Heat reflective coating helps reduce cooling costs.
• Reflects the sun's UV-rays and prevents premature degradation.
• Prevents premature roof failure by controlling thermal cycling.
• Easy to use, non-toxic and VOC compliant water based coating.
INSTALLATION
• All surfaces to be coated must be clean, dry and free of any oil, grease or dirt.
• Any existing coating must be checked for good adhesion.
• Before application, any loosely adhered coating must be removed and bare surfaces must be prepared, cleaned and checked for compatibility.
• Energy Guard & trade; Elastomeric Roof Coating is ready to use. Thinning is not recommended.
• Containers should not be left open for extended periods of time.
• Follow our roof restoration procedures and always perform a coating adhesion test before doing the entire roof.
• Spray: Airless Sprayer, 1gpm, 3,000 psi, .027 or .031 tip.
• Brush: Good quality synthetic bristle brush.
• Roller: Short nap roller.
• Clean Up: Water
AVAILABILITY AND COST
EnergyGuard™ Elastomeric Roof Coating is available directly from EPDM Coatings like liquid rubber and liquid epdm. Pricing information can be obtained from an EPDM Coatings Representatives.
WARRANTY
On pre-approved, qualified applications, using approved applicators, a 10 year warranty is available. Contact us for complete warranty information.
MAINTENANCE
Periodic maintenance of Energy Guard Roof Restoration System ensures extended service life and maintains reflectivity.
Caution: EnergyGuard™ Elastomeric Roof Coatings is a water-based product which will freeze and become unusable at temperatures below 32°F. Suspend all application if conditions prevent a complete cure before sunset, rain, fog, dew or freezing temperatures. Product must be completely dry before exposing to water or foot traffic. Keep Lexis containers covered when not in use. Dispose of all containers in accordance with state and local environmental regulations. Keep away from children. If ingested, DO NOT induce vomiting. Call Physician immediately.
An elastomeric coatings are roofing applied in a viscous state. It has elastic properties, and can stretch in the summer time heat and then return to their original shape without damage.
Elastomeric coatings usually contain polymeric materials, such as acrylic, and a white pigment, such as titanium dioxide, to make them opaque and reflective. An elastomeric coating is applied thicker than paint.
An elastomeric coating can be used on virtually any substrate including asphalt built-up roofing, concrete roofing, metal roofing, modified bitumen roofing, polyurethane foam roofing and single ply roofing.

Butyl Rubber Elastomeric Caulk
Seam Stitch Butyl Rubber Elastomeric Caulk is a butyl rubber elastomeric brush grade roof sealant and caulk for all types of roofs. Butyl rubber caulk is another popular caulk alternative. It is excellent for use in gaps and cracks that are up to ¼" wide, such as those appearing on windowsills and between doors and door frames. Strong and durable, butyl rubber caulk can last up to ten years when applied correctly. It is also comes in a range of colors or you can purchase colored tints to mix with the caulk to match the color exactly to your décor. Some butyl rubber caulks can also be used to fill cracks in stone, brick, and concrete.
BASIC USES
Built Up Roofing (BUR), Concrete Roofs, Metal Roofs, Modified Bitumen, Polyurethane Foam, Single Ply Roofing (EPDM, PVC, TPO).
Caulking and sealing sheet metal fasteners, seams, laps and flashings prior to the application of roof coatings. Patching concrete, brick and masonry. Filling gaps in sidings and framed openings. Excellent roof sealant for small roof repair jobs.
