Ohio-headquartered Tremco Roofing and Building Maintenance, a division of Tremco Incorporated introduces new roofing system range.
AlphaGuard BIO is a two-component, two-coat, bio-based polyurethane fluid-applied roofing system that is closely related to Tremco’s AlphaGuard MT system, a popular choice with contractors and building owners from coast to coast. AlphaGuard BIO provides a solution to numerous roofing needs, including restoring structural concrete, BUR, MB and single ply roofs; installations on vegetated and IRMA roofs; new construction; and even a liquid flashing membrane for new roofs. The high bio content, low odor/VOC (> 6 g/L) and high reflectivity are sustainable benefits that customers want today, while the two-component polyurethane composition offers a fast-curing, high-performance system.
The PowerFAST MB system starts with a high-performance modified bitumen base membrane that is mechanically attached to the structural roof deck, enabling it to withstand higher wind uplift forces than many fully adhered systems; securement options featuring barbed plates or pressure bars are specified according to local wind uplift requirements. The base ply overlap is sealed with a fast curing adhesive, making it watertight quickly. Final surfacing is typically a granule-surfaced MB, but several high-reflectance options are available to meet the building owner’s expectations for a high-quality roof system with a high-performance surface finish. The PowerFAST system can be installed with less labor than fully adhered MB systems typically require.
Rock-It WB Surfacing: Rock-It WB is a white, water-based, highly reflective surfacing designed for use as a cold process aggregate adhesive; it works equally well as a flood coat over new roofs and as a restoration surfacing to adhere new aggregate to multi-ply bituminous roof systems. A low-VOC surfacing that is suitable for use on the most odor-sensitive accounts, Rock-It WB and approved aggregates meet the requirements of California’s Title 24 Energy Efficiency Standards and have been tested by the Cool Roof Rating Council; together they can help you meet your customers’ growing demands for sustainable roofing solutions.
TremLastic S Emulsion: This non-fibreed, asbestos-free neoprene rubber modified asphalt emulsion serves as a protective coating for new and existing smooth asphalt BUR and MB roof surfaces. It bridges minor surface irregularities to seal roof surfaces from moisture intrusion and provides a smooth monolithic surface for coating applications, opening new roof restoration opportunities for contractors. TremLastic S emulsion is water-based, low in odor, and meets the strict VOC requirements for roof coatings in California’s South Coast Air Quality Management District and the US EPA’s National VOC Emission Standard for Architectural Coatings (AIM).
TremLock T-138 Standing Seam Metal Roofing System: For easy, fast and cost-effective recovering of a damaged but still functional shingled roof, the TremLock T-138 metal roof is the perfect choice. There is no landfill debris, much less disturbance to the occupants and the roof can remain in a watertight condition during installation. The TremLock T-138 metal roof’s unique clip design provides a ¾” ventilated air space between the new and the old roof. This air space can help reduce heat transfer in the summer from 30% to 50%, according to the Oak Ridge National Laboratory. During the winter, the air space prevents heat transfer from inside the building to the back of the roof panels and minimizes problems caused by premature snow melt and icing. The TremLock T-138 metal roof can also be installed directly on the deck in new construction or for a roof replacement.
Meanwhile, new flashings are also made available, namely: AlphaGuard PUMA, with a primary use of a high-performance, two-component, two-coat, polyurethane modified methyl methacrylate roof coating, is as a liquid flashing membrane for new roofing systems. With an extremely fast cure time of 20-25 minutes and the ability to be applied in freezing temperatures, AlphaGuard PUMA is excellent for providing a durable, waterproof surface under challenging weather conditions and tight new construction schedules.
Black/White TRA Elastomeric Sheeting is designed as a reinforced flashing sheet in both hot- and cold-applied BUR and MB roof systems. It can be applied with SEBS modified asphalts such as our THERMastic, THERMastic 80 or THERMastic 150 adhesives as well as cold adhesives such as the Sheeting Bond and Polyroof SF. Black/White TRA Elastomeric Sheeting is compounded from a blend of EPDM and SBR thermoset elastomers, comes with a white surface for coating-free flashing applications and is reinforced with a high-strength polyester woven scrim.
Asfor sealants, the company offers Permaroof GWS Roof Sealant, which is a versatile sealant that repairs cracks, splits and fractures in BUR and MB roof membranes in a single-layer application without the need for additional reinforcing fabrics. This fast, labor-saving way to prevent moisture intrusion can also be used on joints and on concrete and metal surfaces, in combination with the recommended Tremco silicone sealant primers. Permaroof GWS is a moisture cure, one part gun-grade silicone sealant with self-leveling characteristics.
DriSuit Spray-Applied Roof Sealer: Formulated with a premium grade of thermoplastic resin and fast- evaporating solvents, our DriSuit spray-applied roof sealer dries within minutes to form a tight elastomeric waterproofing seal that effectively stops leaking and provides long-term protection from UV degradation. Excellent low-temperature flexibility, long-term UV stability, low water absorption, fantastic adhesion to various substrates with water-clear transparency and resistance to staining make it suitable for repairing all sorts of roofs including BUR, metal and PVC single ply as well as masonry and concrete walls.
Last but not the least, the Geogard and Solargard Seam Sealers by Tremco feature easy-to-handle packaging will improve the ease of application while reducing waste. Match that with a high-performance urethane sealant that is compatible with most roofing systems and you have the ideal roof repair material.
