EPDM / Modified Bitumen Recoating

With Conklin’s innovative roof recoating systems, you can actually extend the life of your existing EPDM or Modified Bitumen roofing system and save on energy costs at the same time. These systems are an effective and economical alternative to a complete tear off or re-roofing project.

The EPDM/Modified Bitumen Recoating Systems consist of a three step process: WAC II roofing surface cleaner, Conklin Tack Coat surface primer and Conklin’s proven Rapid Roof® III reflective top coat. Used together as a system, these products allow you to fix leaks in your existing EPDM and Modified Bitumen roofs instead of replacing them. In fact, Conklin coating systems are sustainable indefinitely with periodic recoats.

The light colored coating of Rapid Roof III top coat reflects 84 percent of the sun’s energy from you EPDM or Modified Bitumen roof, compared to only five to seven percent of typical dark-colored roofs. The Conklin EPDM and Modified Bitumen Recoating Systems extend the life of your roof by shielding it from those harmful rays resulting in less shrinkage, reduced ultraviolet degradation and thus fewer leaks. The high reflectivity also lowers the temperature of your roof by as much as 30-50 degrees, which means less money spent cooling your building!
