by Ann Withanee — January 26, 2011—APV Engineered Coatings has launched APV eCoolRoof, a cool roof coating system comprised of a Kynar Aquatec resin-based topcoat and an elastomeric acrylic basecoat. Working together, these two products can provide up to 63 percent increase in life cycle energy savings for a structure, according to APV.
The eco-friendly APV eCoolRoof has a low VOC content and resists ultraviolet (UV) ray degradation, chalking, water pickup, dirt pickup, staining, chemicals and corrosion, algae and fungal growth along with abrasion. Made in Ohio, the product increases the comfort level of the interior of a structure by providing lower indoor temperatures, which reduces the amount of energy used from cooling systems.
The APV eCoolRoof coating system meets or exceeds initial Cool Roof Rating Council (CRRC) requirements to reflect sunlight and heat away from a structure. The products are currently participating in a three-year certification program of age testing, after which they will qualify for ENERGY STAR and CRRC ratings.
