Kemperol Reflect 2K FR, ‘Cool
Roof’ Can Boost Building Energy Efficiency
Kemper
System America, Inc. introduces Kemperol Reflect
2K FR, a cold, liquid-applied reinforced Cool Roofing system that can improve
building energy efficiency.
Time and Cost Effective
The bright white surface helps reflect sunlight and dramatically reduce the
impact of infrared (IR) rays that can tax building cooling systems. The easy-to-apply,
fully-reinforced membrane is applied the same way as Kemper System’s best-selling
Kemperol 2K-PUR solvent- and odor-free system, but the new liquid waterproofing
pours out white and dries to a bright white finish. As no topcoat is necessary, labor costs and
installation time are reduced.
The new Cool Roof resin
membrane system consists of 70 percent rapidly renewable resources, is fire rated
for Class-A assemblies, and is odor-free and low VOC.
“Kemperol Reflect 2K FR extends our efforts to
support sustainable design,” says Managing Director Richard Doornink. “It is
ideal for exposed roofs where reflectivity can make a major impact on building
energy demands, and it offers many of the same advantages as our Kemperol
2K-PUR system, popular for ‘Green Roofs’ and ‘Blue Roofs.’”
The new product was tested in
Europe and has proven valuable on ‘Cool Roofs’ (also known as ‘White Roofs’) especially
in warmer climates and areas with above average sunshine, he said.
Easy Installation and Full
Protection
Both Kemperol systems are eligible for LEED credits under the U.S. Green
Building Council’s Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) certification
program.
State-of-the-art Kemperol membrane
systems fully adhere to substrates, and are self-flashing and self-terminating
for easy installation and edge-to-edge protection. They can reliably seal roof perimeters,
multiple penetrations and virtually any architectural detail, with extended
warranty protection. They are fully reinforced with 165 polyester
fleece which absorbs the resin and can achieve proper membrane thickness in a
single layer.
Kemper System has been a global leader
in cold, liquid-applied, reinforced roofing and waterproofing technology for
over 50 years, having invented the technology and holding the first patents. Today,
Kemper System is a leader in odor-free liquid-membrane systems and provides
long-term, built-to-last solutions for: blue roofs, green roofs, new roof
assemblies, existing roof recovery, metal roofs, balconies and terraces,
plazas, historic restoration, gutterways, interior and industrial applications
and below-grade waterproofing.
The company employs a nationwide network of
committed sales representatives, independent rep groups and a staff of
professional technical support consultants that provide expert counseling and
evaluation. Kemper System projects are supported by an experienced technical
department, site quality control and customer care support center.
