The Ceramic Heat Barrier Coating is a water- borne emulsion of high quality resins and plasticizers for superior adhesion for any type of roof. It dries by evaporation to yield a tough, velvety, water repellent surface with exceptional abrasion resistance, ultra-violet light stability and superior mildew resistance. It is formulated for non-metal and metal roofs and is warranted to hold occasional ponding water without deterioration.
Unlike other coatings, it contains ceramic particles. These particles are the heat dissipating elements in the ceramic coating that give it the ability to save on cooling costs. It is applied to yield a tough, watertight, roof membrane.

APPLICATION
Surfaces should be clean, dry and sound. Existing surface dirt, oil, tar, grease and mill film should be removed prior to application. The Ceramic Heat Barrier Coating may be applied to other surfaces. Examples are wood or masonry, after following preparation procedures above and in the specification manual. It is recommended that flat roofs should have some type of drain system.
The Ceramic Heat Barrier Coating can be applied by brush or roller. It should be applied evenly without build up. Multiple coats are recommended to a total wet film thickness of 500 micron (0,5mm). See our Coverage Calculation page.
MIXING
Before applying our product, the coating needs to be mixed thoroughly to insure that all chemical / non-chemical components are well dispersed. Under no circumstances can our product be mixed with a mechanical or electric device exceeding 200 RPM mixing over the recommended speed of 200 RPM will damage certain particles, prohibiting the product from functioning to specifications. Ideal mixing should be done with a plunger or a flat paddle before every application.
