An excerpt from the piece can be found below:
“With the global liquid roofing market projected to reach a staggering $16.61 billion by 20311, the use of latex-containing liquid applied membranes (LAMs) for exterior applications, including roof coatings, is rapidly rising in the dynamic building and construction industry.
LAMs are water-based latex dispersions offering high-performance roof coating formulations that excel in performance, such as ultra-violet resistance and cooling capabilities. They can be used in both new construction and roof rehabilitation. Moreover, LAMs allow for a simple application process as they are applied on substrates like metal, concrete, and bituminous material and only require commonly available coating devices, such as spray or roll.
Latex binders are central to the effectiveness of LAMs for roof coatings, which can be formulated to enhance performance and allow for improved sustainability. Customers can partner with a materials supplier to identify or even design the desired dispersion for the targeted application to achieve the right combination of performance properties. This way, they can offer full benefits to the end users, who will enjoy peace of mind regarding the roof’s functionality. In turn, industry players can enhance the longevity and performance of their roofing applications.”
