A Sustainable Alternative to Replacing the Roof

By Cass Jacoby. 

This silicone coating is made to go on nearly any roof type to protect it for the long term. 

Bitec has recently unveiled their Imper-Sol™ silicon coating line – a high-solid, low VOC, one-part silicone elastomeric that provides a durable, seamless, flexible waterproof membrane that resists lateral movement, shear and will allow for expansion and contraction. This protective coating is specifically designed for use in roofing applications over a variety of substrates like EPDM, TPO, PVC, modified bitumen and smooth BUR.  

Coatings have been the fastest-growing segment of the commercial roofing industry for a long time now, but with this new line, Bitec elevates the product. Imper-Sol SI Silicone provides excellent UV protection compared to similar silicone coatings and offers increased resistance to moisture penetration. Imper-Sol SI Silicone provides excellent long-term protection through exceptional weatherability properties. 

The coatings are single-component and can be applied by brush, roller, or spray, making installation quick and easy. These high-performance coatings provide customers with a sustainable option for extending the life of their roof system by eliminating the need for a full tear-off and replacement.
