Commercial Roofing Applications with Liquid Rubber

Target Your Flat Roof or Metal Roof to $ave Money

We specialize in the maintenance and repair of existing commercial flat roofs and commercial metal roofs. Impressive advances in roof-coating technologies give us the tools to reliably extend the life of your present commercial roof without expensive tear-offs and replacements. Your existing commercial roof is a source of cost savings over time for your business. Minimize costs with a program of timely inspections and timely maintenance.

Commercial Roof Restoration That Won't Break Your Roof Repair Budget

The majority of commercial buildings are constructed with metal roofs, made up of clip lock, trim deck, and similar profiles. Naturally, your roof is exposed and susceptible to the elements, resulting in expansion and contraction, and acidity and weathering, ultimately leading to significant damage that requires the expertise of a company skilled in commercial roof restoration and roof repair.

Commercial Roofing Material Comparison

Commercial roofing ranges from a small business office to a colossal industrial manufacturing plant. Roof types are either pitched or flat (low slope).

Commercial Pitched Roof and Commercial Flat Roof

Pitched roof material is, more often than not, some type of shingle or metal installation. Commercial flat roofs present many obstacles you will not find on a pitched roof: building ventilation systems, large AC units, etc.

TECHNICAL INFORMATION/PHYSICAL PROPERTIES

Metal
A one-coat application of Liquid Rubber 9981 will produce a 20-mil (.5mm) dry film. No primer is needed, even if metal has tightly adhering corrosion. On rubber and thermoplastic membranes, repair delaminated seams, resurface deteriorated flashings in place, stop embrittlement of Hypolon and PVC, and recoat single-ply EPDM.

Urethane Foam
One coat will protect foam against UV degradation.

Asphalt-Based Coating
Liquid Roof / Liquid Rubber coatings should not be applied directly over an asphalt-based coating. Water-based acrylic elastomeric coatings may be used as intermediate coats before applying Liquid Roof / Liquid Rubber. Asphalt-based applications should be considered unstable materials, and are excluded from warranty coverage. Caution: Latex house paints cannot be substituted in place of the acrylic elastomeric coatings.

Commercial Use On Plywood
Can be applied directly to plywood and lumber; however, we suggest a non-oil-based primer.

Concrete Repair
EPDM rubber will penetrate into fissures at the joints between old and new concrete. Product will also penetrate into surface pores unless concrete is trowel finished or pores are first sealed with a primer. Rubber will effectively waterproof tiles and rain gutters that are made of concrete or adobe-type materials that provide a long-lasting repair.

Flashing and Repair
Roof-to-wall flashings can be formed in place by reinforcing the EPDM rubber with polyester fabric. No mechanical fasteners are needed. Quick repairs to reinforce weak areas and bridge crack repairs can be made in similar fashion.

Commercial and Industrial Applications of EPDM Rubber

Steel Siding for Buildings
EPDM rubber is an excellent recoat and roof leak repair product for roll-formed steel siding that is starting to corrode at the bends.

The rubber can be applied as a one-coat system with no corrosion-inhibitive primer needed.

Fabricated Steel in Marine Environments
Cranes, tanks and support structures at dock facilities experience accelerated corrosion rates due to saltwater exposure. EPDM rubber coatings are not affected by salt and are ideal for this type of environment.

>Steel Storage Tank
Elevated or ground-level steel storage tanks can be effectively protected with an EPDM rubber coating. Surface condensation, cathodic protection, and thermal stresses between sun and shady areas present no problems for the coating.

Marine Uses
(Product - 9911 Ship Shape) EPDM rubber coatings can be effectively used to repair leaks on ships, boats and barges. Because of its inherent characteristics (e.g., ultraviolet stability, salt resistance, excellent water resistance, low and high temperature tolerance, and flexibility), 9911 Ship Shape is designed specifically for marine use.

Concrete Pipe and Spill Containments

EPDM rubber coatings are very effective for protecting concrete pipe against saltwater corrosion. EPDM rubber coatings can tolerate higher temperatures and exposure to strong sunlight, and have 2.5 times higher solids than liquid neoprene coatings.

Corrosive Environments
Corrosive environments are created by many industrial operations where acids are used. Similar conditions can also be produced organically in poultry and hog production operations, which generate high volumes of manure. EPDM coatings can protect the steel and other construction materials from rapid deterioration in these environments.

One-Component Thermoset EPDM Coatings
Non thermoplastic materials, regardless of shape, can now be coated with EPDM rubber as a protection against corrosion or chemical attack. The EPDM coatings can be applied by spray-, dip- or flow-coat methods, than cured in an oven at temperatures between 250 and 300 F (120 and 150 C). These single-component products are custom formulated for a specific application, have good storage stability, and are very easy to apply. Viscosity and solids content can be controlled, making it possible to apply thin as well as thick coatings of EPDM rubber.
