2. Roof coating - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roof_coating

   A roof coating is a monolithic, fully adhered, fluid applied roofing membrane. Many roof coatings are elastomeric, that is, they have elastic properties that allow them to stretch and return to their original shape without damage. Typical roof coating dry film thickness vary from paint film thickness (plus or minus 0.075 mm (3 dry mils) to more ...

   Volunteers use paintbrushes and rollers to apply an acrylic, elastomeric coating to the roof membrane. [71] A 2011 Columbia University study of roofs coated through the program found that white roofs showed an average temperature reduction of 43 degrees Fahrenheit when compared to black roofs.

4. Membrane roofing - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Membrane_roofing

   Membrane roofing is a type of roofing system for buildings, RV's, Ponds and in some cases tanks. It is used to create a watertight covering to protect the interior of a building. Membrane roofs are most commonly made from synthetic rubber, thermoplastic (PVC or similar material), or modified bitumen. Membrane roofs are most commonly used in ...

5. Coating - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coating

   Most roof coatings are designed primarily for waterproofing, though sun reflection (to reduce heating and cooling) may also be a consideration. They tend to be elastomeric to allow for movement of the roof without cracking within the coating membrane. [27] [28] [29]

6. List of polyurethane applications - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_polyurethane...

   Industrial Insulation. Rigid polyurethane foam is used in various industries to provide thermal insulation to installations and pipes. In particular, the piping for district heating systems in Europe is primarily insulated using a pre-insulated pipes sandwich assembly composed of a steel heat service pipe, an insulating layer (polyurethane foam) and a polyethylene (PE) casing, which are bonded ...

7. Thermoplastic elastomer - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermoplastic_elastomer

   Thermoplastic olefins (TPO) are increasingly used as a roofing material. [8] TPEs are also widely used for catheters where nylon block copolymers offer a range of softness ideal for patients. Thermoplastic silicone and olefin blends are used for extrusion of glass run and dynamic weatherstripping car profiles. Styrene block copolymers are used ...
