Hello EPDM team. Just wanted to give you guys a shout-out and say we're more than pleased with the product. The application was pretty easy. The idea of chalking off the roof into 25 X 10-foot areas really helped us apply the product. Also, I wanted to say that you guys did a fantastic job in your customer service department. We probably called in about 5 times with some pretty crazy questions, and you guys were always so patient with our installer and me. We have another building we will be doing in the spring with the Liquid Butyl Rubber. Thanks again Rick D. Bethesda, Maryland
This is a resort in Panama where we needed to waterproof a concrete roof and also a portion of the concrete roof where a decking system was installed over the Liquid Butyl Rubber. We had tested approximately 4 coatings and let them be exposed to the sun and elements on the roof. After 6 months the only one that the engineer was satisfied with was your Liquid Butyl Rubber so our decision was easy at this point. The architect specifically called for a product that would hold up to UV and high surface temperatures as well as needing to be highly flexible if there was any movement in the joists or surface fractures within the concrete as it aged. We are extremely satisfied with the result. We have many more projects and will be using this in the future.
This customer has a 15,000-square-foot EPDM roof and BUR combination. The roof was overall in reasonably good condition however, the customer wanted to extend the roofs life and avoid the cost of replacement before it reached that point. After several searches, they contacted EPDM Coatings. The customer was looking for a solvent-based system that required no primer and only needed one coat. EPDM Coatings Liquid BUTYL Rubber was the only product they found to meet all their requirements. The roof was first cleaned with EPDM Coatings RoofProtect cleaner. Several of the seams were first reinforced with their SeamTight, and a poly fabric was embedded into the SeamTight. A total of 52 (5-gallon) pails were needed for the application. The customer chose to apply the product roller method. Essentially, chalking the roof off into 15X20 ft sections, the coverage on each 5-gallon pail is 2.5 squares on this type of roof. Before their purchase, the customer compared two other liquid coatings. One required a primer, and the other required two coats of the topcoat. The customer saved approximately $26,000 with the liquid butyl rubber. Their solvent also features a unique chemistry whereby the Liquid Butyl Rubber chemically fuses itself to the roof, thereby preventing peeling or flaking years after application. There is also a built-in mildewcide to deter mold spores from growing on the surface of the roof. Of particular interest to the customer was the thermal cooling. As you can see from the photos taken by the customer, the original surface temperature was 156 Degree F, compared to 78 Degree F after application, representing a 50% reduction in surface temperature due to the products high solar reflectance and thermal emittance.

We could not be more pleased with your Liquid Butyl Rubber. Our roof, as you can see, was in pretty bad shape. We wanted to wait until we got some rain before we provided you with an honest assessment. It rained for about 4 days straight, two hefty days. We have always had issues with leaks in this roof. I guess we just let it go on too long. Well, proud to report that the roof did leak. First time in years. Also, the product looks so good on the roof. Our neighbor came over while we were applying the product, and I believe he had already ordered it from you.
We searched the internet and found cheaper products, but we didn't want to go cheap on a roof sealant. We also liked that you only needed one coat; the others needed more.
Thank you

The leaks in the first 5000 sq ft test are all gone. We had two substantial storm systems come through and zero leaks. The first one was applied the same day, so we were concerned that we would need to recoat. We called your office and they assured us that it waterproofs within 4 hours at temps above 55, and sure enough it did. There was standing water on the product, which was not even fully cured; that was not the most impressive part. So basically, this was the first time in 4 years our roof did not leak after a rainstorm. I am glad that your product went over the elastomeric. It saved us hours vs. having to power wash that junk off. We will be doing the rest of the roof over the summer. Areas are gone. We were pretty impressed with how it self-levels and gets into the small cracks of the roof. And the product worked great. We did put the second 5 gallons on after those pictures. I am going to put together an order for more.

Hi All
Here are the pics of our little project. The product worked great, and we are extremely happy with the results. We washed the roof down, let it dry, and then applied the butyl tape you sell along the cracked seam. Two gallons were sufficient for the roof's perimeter that needed the work. No doubt, this will be a long-term solution. The product is nice and thick, and it is remarkable how it self-levels into the small nooks and crannies.
We just finished about 5000 sq ft of the roof. I got about 150-170 sq feet per 5-gallon bucket. This was because of the about of imbedded rock in the roof material. All in all, the cleaning was 90% of the work as we blew it all off first then power washed the roof which took forever. The application of the product was very fast. Thanks for your help and I look forward to continuing on with the entire roof.

We have been dealing with a deteriorating roof for a long time and finally had the Butyl Liquid Rubber recommended by another of our properties. We had applied the flash coating and once it cured, we had more rains. So far, even with just the flash coating, we have not had reports of roof leaks. We applied the main coat and it should cure before the next round of rain. I wish we had known about this product sooner! We will be ordering much more as you can see we have quite a bit of roof on the outlet buildings.

Here are some pics from my completed project. I have a slightly sloped modified bitumen roof on the upper part of my house. There were no leaks in the old roof but i wanted to keep it that way with your product going over the top of the existing roofing. It is 400 sq ft. I ordered 8 gal of your black liquid butyl rubber and 1 gal of roof cleaner. I cleaned the roof. Let it dry. And applied the rubber with a paint roller and long handle. It went on very well and was an excellent project. Cleaning took 90 mins. Butyl application took 2 hours.
See the pics attached. First pic is cleaning, then before starting, then during application and finally 2 after completion. The white spots in the final pics are just sun reflections. Could not be more pleased. After I did my research, the solvent based Liquid BUTYL rubber looked to be the best. Also, the fact that there was no primer and you only needed one coat was a huge plus. Great customer service also.
