2. Roof coating - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roof_coating

   A roof coating is a monolithic, fully adhered, fluid applied roofing membrane. Many roof coatings are elastomeric, that is, they have elastic properties that allow them to stretch and return to their original shape without damage. Typical roof coating dry film thickness vary from paint film thickness (plus or minus 0.075 mm (3 dry mils) to more ...

3. Reflective surfaces (climate engineering) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reflective_surfaces...

   On Wednesday, September 25, 2013 Mayor Michael R Bloomberg declared it "NYC °CoolRoofs Day" in New York City with the coating of its 500th building and reducing the carbon footprint by over 2000 tons. Volunteers use paintbrushes and rollers to apply an acrylic, elastomeric coating to the roof membrane. [71]

4. GAF Materials Corporation - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GAF_Materials_Corporation

   In 2007, GAF merged with Elk Corporation, a manufacturer of asphalt felts and coatings. [11] In 2011, GAF became the first roofing manufacturer to offer a Lifetime Limited Warranty on all laminated shingles. [5] [6] GAF Energy, a sister company which offers affordable integrated rooftop solar options, was launched in 2019. [12]

5. Membrane roofing - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Membrane_roofing

   The finished roof's thickness is usually between 30 and 120 mils (thousandths of an inch; 0.75 mm to 1.50 mm). The most commonly used cured elastomer membranes are ethylene propylene diene monomer (commonly EPDM) and neoprene, although all thermoset products combined fail to account for more than 10% of all commercial roofing. This is in part ...

6. EPDM rubber - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EPDM_rubber

   EPDM seals can be a source of squeaking noise due to the movement of the seal against the opposing surface (and its attendant friction). The noise can be alleviated using specialty coatings that are applied at the time of manufacture of the seal. Such coatings can also improve the chemical resistance of EPDM rubber.

7. Federal roofing tax credit for energy efficiency - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Federal_Roofing_Tax_Credit...

   The 2009 Federal Roofing Tax Credit is part of a twofold plan rolled out by the US federal government.The first goal was intended to stimulate the economy by motivating Americans to replace their roofs with more energy efficient roofs, thereby creating jobs by increasing the demand for labor in the roofing, manufacturing, and construction industries.

8. Thermoplastic vulcanizates - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermoplastic_vulcanizates

   Thermoplastic vulcanizates (TPVs) are a type of thermoplastic elastomers (TPE) that undergo vulcanization processes during manufacturing, giving elastomeric properties to the final product. Vulcanization involves the cross-linking of polymer chains, leading to increased strength, durability, and flexibility.

9. Elastomer - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elastomer

   An elastomer is a polymer with viscoelasticity (i.e. both viscosity and elasticity) and with weak intermolecular forces, generally low Young's modulus (E) and high failure strain compared with other materials. [1]
