It is an easy-to-apply roof coating and sealer that protects roofs from destructive elements for years. Its unique formula not only protects from the weather, it even protects from grease, oils, fats and acids!
When you order EpoxyFlex from one of our distributors it will show up on your job site loaded into 5-gallon buckets. All you have to do is some roof preperation and spread it on! Within a few hours EpoxyFlex is ready to do the rest -- protect the roof for decades to come.
After years of chemical research, hundreds of failures and now thousands of successes, our chemists have developed what is considered by many to be the top roof coating in the field. The decades of work that preceded EpoxyFlex have paid off for the entire roofing community. SafeTights's patented roof coating provides the best moisture, sun and ice protection available.
A lifetime renewable warranty is available and is a non-prorated, transferable, full material, and labor warranty capable of being extended for the life of the building with a maintenance coat every 10 years.
EpoxyFlex tenaciously adheres to most known roofing materials, thus reducing structural problems related to ballast weight, or problems related to mechanical penetrations through the roof.
No, EpoxyFlex is lightweight yet it strengthens substrate integrity. It weighs approximately 35 pounds per roofing square.
EpoxyFlex remains unique in its ability to withstand ruinous elements. The superior adhesion of EpoxyFlex withstands radically varying stress patterns, prevents peeling, and stops lateral moisture migration. The 210% elasticity with 100% memory prevent allegation, peripheral cracking, delamination, and thermal shock destruction. EpoxyFlex withstands freeze thaw and drastic changes due to its thermal dynamic properties and its seamless system. EpoxyFlex is tougher than hail.
No, EpoxyFlex is impenetrable by certain bacteria, moss, molds, algae, rust, chemicals, UV radiation, and seawater. EpoxyFlex is a seamless single-ply maintenance membrane that protects against roof killers such as UV radiation, prolonged deep-water ponding, animal fats, oils, and pH and temperature extremes.
Use EpoxyFlex on almost any surface. EpoxyFlex may be used wherever a permanent elastomeric coating is desired. EpoxyFlex's maintenance membrane acts as a vapor and thermal barrier, and can be used to enhance, protect, and improve bridged expansion gaps, as a concrete coating in above- and below-grade applications, and as a stucco color coat. EpoxyFlex is impenetrable by certain bacteria, moss, molds, algae, rust, chemicals, UV radiation, and seawater. Since EpoxyFlex has superior adhesion properties, it will permanently adhere to almost any surface and is perfect for commercial, industrial, or residential use. (See application manual.)
EpoxyFlex's non-tacky surface is excellent for high traffic areas. EpoxyFlex's durability eliminates the need for heavy stepping stones and blowing spaghetti pads.
The EpoxyFlex Maintenance System shields subordinate roofing materials indefinitely. The EpoxyFlex System is designed to wear from the top down to maintain the internal integrity of the underlying materials, thus protecting your financial investment. With EpoxyFlex's value-added benefits and maintenance system, a building may retain its current roofing system indefinitely. Simply put, roof tear-offs may become obsolete.
Yes, EpoxyFlex sets new industry standards by offering high reflectivity with low thermal conductivity (cold and heat barrier). Add this to our Energy Star rating and you have the most economical, value-added product in existence.
Because cutting-edge science has combined epoxie's inherent long-term chemical stability and adhesion with permanent elasticity to offer a coating that expands and contracts and shifts and moves with the ability to return to its original specifications. The superior adhesion of EpoxyFlex withstands radically varying stress patterns, prevents peeling, and stops lateral moisture migration. The 210% elasticity with 100% memory prevent allegation, peripheral cracking, delamination, and thermal shock destruction.
Yes, EpoxyFlex is a non-toxic, non-carcinogenic, water-based coating. We provide sensitive alternatives to an industry that recognizes the negative impact it causes to our environment by the voluminous waste it generates. Our mission is to be a responsible and respected environmental leader by setting standards to protect life, health, environment, and non-renewable resources. In manufacturing EpoxyFlex, there are NO significant quantities of waste. Manufacturing of the product and the application process are non-energy intensive. Implementation of EpoxyFlex's maintenance program reduces weathered, depleted, and discarded materials generally returned to our environment (landfills) as remodeling waste. Ingredients within EpoxyFlex are recognized as catalytic disseminators of certain harmful air pollutants such as smog. Studies also show that utilizing EpoxyFlex may reduce the polluting effect of Urban Heat Islands.
No, not if the existing roof is in sound condition. The surface of the roof must be moisture free to apply EpoxyFlex.
