EPDM Recoating System
The Introduction

With Conklin’s Innovative Roof Recoating Systems, you can actually extend the life of your existing EPDM 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 Recoating Systems consist of a three step process:

  1. Apply WAC II Roofing Surface Cleaner following with Pressure Washing.
  2. Apply Conklin Tack Coat Surface Primer acrossed previously cleaned area.
  3. Apply Conklin's proven Rapid Roof® III reflective top coat to Primed Area.

Used together as a system, these products allow you to fix leaks in your existing EPDM 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 your EPDM roof, compared to only five to seven percent of typical dark-colored roofs. The Conklin EPDM Recoating Systems extend the life of your roof by shielding it from those UV 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!

  1. Save on labor costs. Applying our system requires just two to three crew members.
    Smaller crews reduce your Workers’ Compensation costs.
    You may avoid tear-off* and disposal of the existing roofing material, lowering your costs, risks and liability.
    With our system, you simply clean and prime the surface, reinforce seams and apply a top coat.
