38 OTHER PRODUCTS BASED ON ADVANCED ADHESIVE TECHNOLOGY Vented Base Membranes Energy Star Rated Membranes Cool Roofs with high reflectivity and emissivity

39 OTHER PRODUCTS BASED ON ADVANCED ADHESIVE TECHNOLOGY Vented Base Membrane Let your roof breath Base Vent (Self-Adhesive) membranes are premium elastomeric roofing products manufactured with advanced adhesive technology (dual-compound technology), whereby the membrane consists of a true SBS compound on the top layer and an aggressive Self- Adhesive compound (spot attached) on the bottom layer.

40 OTHER PRODUCTS BASED ON ADVANCED ADHESIVE TECHNOLOGY Vented Base Membrane Advantages: Spot attachment provides a route for the escape of latent moisture or pressure that may build up between the material and the substrate. Absence of penetrating fasteners helps separate the roofing membrane system from the underlying insulation, thereby impeding "thermal bridging", which is a frequent problem in temperaturecontrolled buildings such as cold-storage facilities. No need for fasteners, resulting in labor and material cost savings for the applicator. The spot-welded areas of the venting membrane are believed to act as shock absorbers, which compensate for the movement of the substrate (e.g. roof deck or insulation). Good workability characteristics such as pliability, particularly at low temperatures.

41 OTHER PRODUCTS BASED ON ADVANCED ADHESIVE TECHNOLOGY Vented Based Membrane Energy Star Rating Membrane: A Self-Adhesive modified bitumen roofing membrane with Energy Star rating. Reflective properties of this membrane lowers roof surface temperature by up to 100 degrees Fahrenheit, decreasing the amount of heat transferred into a building s interior.

42 OTHER PRODUCTS BASED ON ADVANCED ADHESIVE TECHNOLOGY Cool Roof A Cool Roof uses a roofing material with high solar reflectance and emittance that reduces heat gain through the roof. California s TITLE 24- The latest revision became law throughout California in Oct. 05. All new roofs installed must have- reflectance of at least 0.70 and emittance at least 0.75.
