• EPOX-Z NRG
• Why So Much Interest in
• Cool Roofs?

3
EPOX-Z NRG

• Cool Roofs Equate to Big Benefit for the
  Building Owner and the Environment
• Improved Comfort-
• The Buildings Interior is Subject to Less
  Thermal Flux and Stays Cooler During the Warm
  Season
• Reduced Energy Costs-
• Due to Reduced Demand on HVAC
• Increased Roof Longevity-
• Resulting From Reduced Thermal Flux on Roof

EPOX-Z NRG

• Cool Roofs
• Are Distinguished Among Energy
• Conservation Measures Because of The Many
• Environmental Benefits They Can Provide
• This is Attributed to The Fact That They Combat
  The Urban Heat Island Effect

5
EPOX-Z NRG

• URBAN HEAT ISLAND EFFECT
  
• The Urban Heat Island Effect is a phenomenon that
  
• is characterized by a measured increase in
  the
• ambient air temperature in cities
• over their surrounding rural areas.
• This is due to roofs and other non-reflective
  
• surfaces that absorb and trap solar radiation
  
• or heat.

EPOX-Z NRG

• The Urban Heat Island Effect Causes
• Trapped Heat to be Released Into the Air Morning,
  Noon and Night Warming the Urban Core Around the
  Clock
• Environmentally Negative and Spiraling Impacts

7
EPOX-Z NRG

• The Impact to Your Bottom Line and the
  Environment Include
• Increased Demand for Air-Conditioning in Both
  Conditioned and Unconditioned Buildings
• Increased Potential for the Installation of HVAC
  Systems in Buildings That Currently do not
  Need Them
• Reduced Lifespan of Current Air Conditioning
  Systems
• Increased Greenhouse Gases
• Increased Electricity Load
• Increased Contribution to Global Warming as a
  Result of Fossil Fuel Generated Electricity
• Increased Smog Formation

• 
  Two Thermal Properties
• That
  Characterize Cool Roofs Are
• Solar Reflectance and
  Thermal Emittance.
• A Cool Roof Minimizes The Solar
  Heat Gain of a Building
• by First
  Reflecting Incoming Radiation,
• Then by Quickly Re-emitting the
  Remaining Absorbed Portion.
• As a Result,
  The Cool Roof Stays Cooler
• Than a Traditional
  Roof of Similar Construction.

12
EPOX-Z NRG

• The Four Questions to Ask
• What is its Weather-Ability?
• What is The Manufacturers Warranty?
• What is The Installed Cost?
• Does This Cool Roof Coating Meet The EPAs Energy
  Star Requirements?

13

• Why is EPOX-Z NRG The Best Available Roof
  Coating???

14
EPOX-Z NRG
Compare to Other Coatings
15
EPOX-Z NRG

• 
  
  
• To Be Effective- Cool Roof Coatings Must first be
  an effective coating
• Act as a Barrier Against Moisture-ASTM D 1653
• Resist Blistering- ASTM D 714
• Resist Degradation and Chalking- ASTM D 4214

16
EPOX-Z NRG

• How These Protocols Are Rated
• ASTM D714 Resistance to Chemical or Water
  Penetration
• Ratings Are 1-10 10 Represents No Visible Signs
  of Blistering (Highest Rating)
• ASTM D4214 Chalking And Degradation
• No. 2 Severe Chalking
• No. 4 Moderate to Severe Chalking
• No. 6 Moderate Chalking
• No. 8 Light Chalking
• ASTM D1653 Permeability
• Coatings With a Rating Under 1.0 Are Considered
  IMPERMEABLE

17
EPOX-Z NRG

• EPOX-Z has Achieved Ratings of
• 10 As Per ASTM D714- Blistering
• 8 As Per ASTM D4214- Chalking
• 0.133 As Per ASTM D1653- Permeability
• These Are The Highest Possible Ratings
  Achievable For These Three Protocols!!!
  

18
EPOX-Z NRG

• No Other Roof Coating Company Has Published If
  They Have Achieved Rating Per All Three of These
  ASTM Protocols
• Additionally EPOX-Z Has High Thermal Values
• TSR 80
• Emissivity 84
• SRI 99

19
EPOX-Z NRG

• 
  
  
• Application and Cost
• One Single Coat of EPOX-Z NRG Replaces Multiple
  Coat Systems
• No Primer Required- Less Material and Less Labor
• Short Cure Time- Full Cure in 48 Hours
• Better Coverage- 100 Solids
• Safe- NO VOCs
• Virtually Odorless
• No Hazardous Chemicals
• One Single Coat of EPOX-Z is 33 Less Costly Than
  Other Cool Roof Coatings and Can Speed Up The
  Finishing Process of Any Roof Construction
  Project

EPOX-Z NRG

• 
  
  
• EPOX-Z May be Applied by
  
  
• Brush
• Roller
• Conventional or Airless Sprayer
• A Well Trained Four Man Crew Can Spray up
  to 4000 Sq. Ft. Per Hour
  

21
EPOX-Z NRG

• EPOX-Z NRG Vs. The Competition
• Most Reflective Coatings Are a Water Based
  Acrylic, known as Elastomeric
• The Natural Degradation of These Coatings is 1
  mil Per Year
• 10X Faster Breakdown Than EPOX-Z NRG
  
• These Other Coatings Lose More Than 50 of Their
  Reflectivity Within 3 Years (Chalking)

22

• Acid Deposition (Acid Rain)
• The Average pH of Rainfall in New York State is
  4.5 Which is 30 Times More Acidic Than Normal
• Acid Deposition Damages Buildings by Eroding
• Roofs
• Facades
• Statuary
• Other Vulnerable Edifices

25
EPOX-Z NRG

• The Majority of Coatings Use Water or VOC Laden
  Solvents to Maintain The Coating in a Liquid
  State so it Can Be Applied
• The Drying/Curing Process Relies on Solvent or
  Water Evaporation
• These VOCs Are Extremely Harmful to The
  Environment , The Coatings Performance
  
• These Coatings May Not
  be Able to Allow
• The Solvents or Water to Fully
  Evaporate Resulting in Blisters,
• Voids, Pinholes, or
  Soft Spots in The Coating.

26
EPOX-Z NRG

• Solvent-Less EPOX-Z
• EPOX-Z Does Not Present Any Solvent Risk
• EPOX-Z Develops a Full Chemical Cure
• EPOX-Z Does Not Shrink
• EPOX-Z Does Not Curl Due to The Stress of
  Evaporation During Curing Which is a Major Cause
  of Coatings Failure
