A tough, reflective, energy efficient waterproofing coating for asphalt & metal roofs
- Reflectivity and waterproofing in a single coating.
- Reduces energy costs.
- Shields against sunlight, heat and oxidisation.
- Significantly prolongs roof life.
- Decorates roof.
Industrial and commercial roofs really take a beating from the sun, the weather, building stresses and from acid rain and
other pollutants.
It takes a lot more than just waterproofing to provide long lasting protection in these conditions. And no protective coating meets the challenge better than
SWEPCO Aluminum Roof Coating.
SWEPCO Aluminum Roof Coating is a premium quality waterproofing coating which is formulated for long term service in the harshest of conditions.
It is manufactured from the finest pure aluminum pigments, two specifically selected and refined asphalts, High Strength Micro Fibers and a special SWEPCO
chemical additive which improves bond ability.
In addition to providing the best in waterproofing and protection for a wide variety of both new and properly prepared old roofs, SWEPCO Aluminum
Roof Coating has the added advantage of saving energy and making roofs more attractive. No other waterproofing coating provides more benefits or is more
cost effective.
Saves Energy in Summer
SWEPCO Aluminum Roof Coating contains millions of polished aluminum flakes which “leaf” to the surface of the coating, forming a solid shield of
pure aluminum. This protective barrier is eight times more reflective than typical black roof surfaces and up to four times more reflective than typical gravel
roofs. That means it reflects more heat. So it lowers interior temperatures for buildings which are not air conditioned and reduces energy costs for cooling
buildings which are air-conditioned.
By reflecting much of this harmful form of solar radiation, SWEPCO Aluminum Roof Coating significantly extends the life of asphalt roofs and
reduces maintenance costs.
Metal roofs last longer too, because SWEPCO Aluminum Roof Coating is corrosion resistant and helps protect all types of metal roofs from moisture,
rust and a wide variety of industrial pollutants.
Added Protection From Thermal Shock
SWEPCO Aluminum Roof Coating also helps protect the roof from “thermal shock”. Most industrial roofs go through very wide temperature
fluctuations during a 24 hour period. In some climates, the difference between the night time low temperatures and the daytime highs can be as much as 90°F or
50°C. This places great thermal stress on roofs on a daily basis. It is not at all uncommon for rapid temperature drops to split a roof completely apart.
SWEPCO Aluminum Roof Coating can cut these wide temperature fluctuations by as much as 50%. The result is less thermal stress and longer roof life.
Saves Energy in Winter
SWEPCO Aluminum Roof Coating also saves energy in Winter because it holds heat in better than other roof surfacings. With less heat loss due to
radiation, roofs protected by Aluminum Roof Coating are less expensive to keep warm in Winter.
Extends Roof Life
SWEPCO Aluminum Roof Coating also extends roof life by reflecting a large percentage of the sun’s deteriorating ultra-violet radiation. UV radiation
is a roof’s worst enemy, causing oxidation, drying, brittleness, alligatoring, cracking, peeling and general deterioration of the asphalt and roof membrane.

Cuts Roof Maintenance Costs
In contrast to typical, graveled roof surfaces, the modern, smooth surface provided by SWEPCO Aluminum Roof Coating is easier and less costly to inspect and maintain. Without gravel, periodic inspection becomes a task measured in minutes instead of hours. Problems can be detected while they are still minor problems. And, when maintenance does become necessary, it costs less because it takes less time.
Made With the Finest Ingredients
SWEPCO Aluminum Roof Coating delivers superior performance because it contains more than twice the aluminum pigments used in many competitive coatings . . . more
than 18% by weight of pure, highly polished aluminum pigments.But that’s just the start. Other high quality ingredients are also
necessary for long term performance . . .
Two specially-selected and refined asphalts, “Heart of Texas”
Asphalt® and
TRIMASTIC 49® Asphalt, insure superior waterproofing, flexibility, bond ability, weatherability and optimum leafing of the aluminum pigments.
And Zonamine, a special SWEPCO additive which helps insure a tight bond with the roof surface.
Versatile
SWEPCO Aluminum Roof Coating is ideal for protection of new and properly prepared older smooth asphalt and metal roofs. It can also be used over
mineral or granule surfaced roofing, as well as many types of “single ply” roofing materials. In fact, the protection it provides is needed more by single
ply roofing than almost any other type.
Easy to Apply
SWEPCO Aluminum Roof Coating is applied straight from the container with brush, roller, squeegee or airless spray equipment. It requires no heating
or thinning.
For asphalt & metal roofs
Description & Purpose
SWEPCO Aluminum Roof Coating is a premium quality coating designed to waterproof, protect and beautify commercial and industrial roofs. It is made
with pure aluminum pigments, two special sphalts, High Strength Micro Fibers and other high quality ingredients.
Recommended Uses
SWEPCO Aluminum Roof Coating is recommended for use over smooth asphalt, mineral granule surfaced asphalt, gravel covered asphalt and exposed
metal roofs in a wide variety of complete SWEPCO Roof Systems. It is suitable as both a maintenance coating for existing roofs and a final coating for new roofs.
