Roof Coatings

• Ultraviolet Resistant – No deleterious effects after 4,000 hrs. accelerated weathering.
• Reduced Energy Costs – Remains white to reflect the suns heat, dramatically lowering roof substrate temperature.
• Long Term Flexibility – advanced elastic acrylic polymers remain permanently flexible upon extended exterior exposure.
• Water-Based – Contains no solvents, cleans up with water. Conforms to all Federal, State and Local air pollution standards.
• Low Cost Application & Maintenance – A minimal amount of labor and equipment is required for application. Touch-up is accomplished with acrylic caulk or additional ROOFSHIELD.
• Color Stable –The acrylic resins crosslink under UVexposure to lock in color and lock out dirt.
• High Film Build – High volume solids allows fast application to uniformly cover textured substrates.

1. Low Cost Application:
ROOF MATE can be installed more efficiently and at a fraction of the cost of other roofing systems. No bulky or expensive materials to haul, lift, spread, cut or glue. Simply apply ROOF MATE by brush, roller or spray over the properly prepared roof substrate. Cleanup requires only soap and water. ROOF MATE conforms to all
federal and state air pollution standards and VOC regulations.

2. Fast Application:
Roofs can be prepared and coated with ROOF MATE significantly faster than applying conventional built-up or single-ply systems.

3. High Solids and Resin Content:
The high volume solids of ROOF MATE, along with its excellent hide and vertical hold characteristics, allows for faster film build in fewer coats. This enables ROOF MATE to uniformly cover the uneven profile of textured substrates. The high ratio of elastomeric acrylic polymer to filler pigment provides long-term weathering and ultraviolet resistance.

4. Lightweight:
A ROOF MATE roof is lighter than conventional and single-ply systems, putting less stress on the framework of the building. No glue, fasteners or heavy ballasting is required.

5. Permanent Flexibility:
ROOF MATE contains no migratory plasticizers, which may give good initial elasticity but leach out of the coating upon extended exterior exposure. ROOF MATE remains permanently flexible through the use of high grade elastomer acrylic polymers.

6. Colorfast:
The acrylic resins utilized in ROOF MATE crosslink under exterior exposure to lock in color and lock out dirt. The topcoat color remains true through years of weathering, while the tight, crosslinked surface effectively repels dirt.

7. Low Maintenance Costs:
With a ROOF MATE roof there is no asphalt to degrade, metal to corrode or seams to come apart. It is formulated to remain flexible to -30°F without cracking under stress, and is impervious to minor ponding water associated with most roofs. When maintenance is required, repairs are easily accomplished using acrylic caulk and/or additional ROOF MATE.

8. Resists AbusiveWeather:
ROOF MATE will take abusive weather conditions of all types. Ice, snow, wind driven rain and sand do not penetrate its tough, dense surface under normal conditions.

9. Long Term Fire Protection:
ROOF MATE utilizes non-migratory fire retardants that become an integral and inseparable part of the coating to provide permanent fire retardancy.

10. Reduced Energy Cost:
ROOF MATE topcoat remains white to effectively reflect the sun’s heat, unlike dark-colored roofs that retain heat and are subject to ultraviolet degradation. Roof temperatures can be reduced in excess of 50°F. Exceeds ENERGY STAR® & Cool Roof Rating Council Guidelines.

11. Resistance To Foot Traffic:
ROOF MATE’S tough finish, combined with its flexibility and bond strength characteristics, allows it to easily withstand the stresses of normal roof maintenance traffic.

12. Code Approvals:
ROOF MATE is UL classified as a Class “A” Fluid Applied Coating System, and as a Class A, B or C Maintenance & Repair System as outlined in the UL Roofing Materials & Systems Directory and UL website. It is Factory Mutual Approved for recover over FMRCrated BUR or insulated metal panels, and approved by
Miami-Dade County.

13. Warranty Programs:
ROOF MATE is backed by 5, 10 and 15 year, nonprorated warranty programs. These guarantee to the Building Owner that the coating system will not leak as result of degradation from normal weathering. All warranty programs are extendable to last for the life of the structure.

1. High Acrylic Resin Content:
Percent solids by volume is only one measure of a coating’s quality. Another basis for determining longevity of a coating is the ratio of filler pigment to polymer content. DIATHON contains lower filler pigment load and higher levels of acrylic polymer than most coatings. This high ratio of pure acrylic polymer provides long-term durability and weather resistance. DIATHON’S superior performance is assured through the use of advanced elastomeric acrylic polymers.

2. No Plasticizers:
There are no migratory plasticizers in DIATHON. The purpose of a plasticizer is to give good initial flexibility to the cured film. Plasticizers, however gradually leach from the coating when exposed to sunlight and moisture, causing it to become brittle and exhibit poor flexibility and elongation properties. Surface checking and cracking occur, allowing moisture into the polyurethane foam and underlying substrate. This does not occur
with DIATHON.

3. Uniform Film Build:
The thixotropic consistency of DIATHON gives it excellent vertical hold, allowing uniform build on the highs and lows of the polyurethane foam texture. This quality maximizes the coating’s ability to provide prolonged weather resistance.

4. Long Term Fire Protection:
Non-migratory fire retardants are dispersed into the raw material complex during the manufacturing process. These fire retardants become an integral and inseparable part of the DIATHON coating. The non-leaching qualities of the specific fire retardants chosen by UNITED add another dimension to DIATHON’S impressive list of protective qualities.

5. Abrasive Weather Conditions:
DIATHON will take normal abrasive weather conditions of all types. Ice, snow and sand will not penetrate its tough, dense surface under normal conditions.

6. Non - Polluting:
DIATHON contains no solvents. It conforms to all federal, state and local air pollution standards and VOC requirements.

7. Volume Solids:
The high volume solids of DIATHON, along with its excellent hide and vertical hold characteristics, allows for higher film build in fewer coats. This enables DIATHON to uniformly cover the uneven surface texture of polyurethane foam.

8. Single Package:
No catalyzation – DIATHON is a ready-touse material. It has no pot life limitations.

Typical substrates include standing seam and corregated metal roofs,
sprayed-in-place polyurethane foam, modified bitumen, PVC, TPO, Hypalon® and EPDM. KYMAX is recommended whenever exceptional weatherability and/or reflectivity are required, whether the environmental threat is algae, mildew, dirt or industrial fallout. It also provides additional UV and color stability, even in bright colors. KYMAX is an excellent barrier to plasticizer migration, and is also effective in preventing asphalt bleed-through. The natural fire retardancy of the film provides long-term protection, eliminating the need for additional additives that eventually migrate from the film.
