COOL ROOF COATINGS GUIDE SPECIFICATIONS SECTION 07 05 13 FIELD-APPLIED FLUOROPOLYMER COOL ROOF COATINGS THIS GUIDE SPECIFICATION IS WRITTEN ACCORDING TO CSI SECTIONFORMAT® FOR THE LATEST UPDATES, PLEASE VISIT KYNARAQUATEC.COM TO SPEAK WITH A KYNAR AQUATEC® REPRESENTATIVE, CALL 1-800-KYNAR-50 SECTION 070513-COOL ROOF COATINGS Disclaimer-Please consult Arkema’s disclaimer regarding the use of Arkema’s products on [http://www.arkema.com/en/products/product-safety/disclaimer/index.html](http://www.arkema.com/en/products/product-safety/disclaimer/index.html) Kynar®, Kynar 500® and Kynar Aquatec® are registered trademarks of Arkema Inc. ©2017 Arkema Inc. All rights reserved. The paint systems specified in this Section are based on the use of Kynar Aquatec® fluoropolymer based coatings as the basis of design. Not intended for flat roof applications. Kynar Aquatec® fluoropolymer is an innovative platform of emulsions, which are used by paint formulators to make premium weatherable water-based coatings. Coatings formulated with these emulsions can provide the durability and performance of traditional Kynar 500® resin-based coatings. They can easily be applied to a variety of substrates, including metals, plastics, wood, concrete, masonry, fiber cement, stucco, textiles, and previously painted surfaces. PART 1-GENERAL 1.1 SUMMARY A. Section Includes: 1. Field-applied, water-based, fluoropolymer liquid coating system on existing roof surfaces. B. Related Requirements: The list of related sections below is only an example.

Kynar Aquatec® ARC Latex: Hybrid dispersion containing 70% by weight Kynar® fluoropolymer resin and 30% acrylic resin. COOL ROOF COATINGS 070513-2 Kynar Aquatec® ARC latex is a hybrid dispersion containing, on polymer solids, 70% by weight Kynar® fluoropolymer resin and 30% proprietary acrylic resin. This ratio is similar to those used in baked metal finishes based on Kynar 500® fluoropolymer, which have a 50-year track record of superb weatherability in architectural applications. After 17 years south Florida exposure, waterborne coatings based on prototype versions of Kynar Aquatec® ARC latex are confirming weathering performance comparable to 70% Kynar 500® fluoropolymer finishes B. Kynar Aquatec® FMA-12 Latex: Fluorine Modified Acrylic Resin Kynar Aquatec® FMA-12 latex is a hybrid dispersion containing, on polymer solids, 50% by weight Kynar® fluoropolymer resin, and 50% proprietary acrylic resin. Accelerated weathering results confirm superior durability ofFMA-12 latex compared to premium grade acrylics. Kynar Aquatec® FMA-12 latex paints with a latex minimum film formation temperature (MFFT) in the 10-12°C range are designed for field-applied elastomeric roofing, building restoration and premium architectural coatings. Coatings based on this product show excellent adhesion on numerous substrates including fluoropolymer coated metal roofing. C. DTM: Direct to Metal. D. LEED® : Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED®) is a sustainable (green) building rating

FAQs

What coating system scope does Section 070513 cover?

It covers a field-applied, water-based fluoropolymer liquid coating system applied on existing roof surfaces.

What are Kynar Aquatec ARC Latex and FMA-12 Latex?

ARC Latex is a hybrid dispersion with 70% by weight Kynar fluoropolymer resin and 30% acrylic resin; FMA-12 Latex is a hybrid dispersion with 50% Kynar fluoropolymer resin and 50% proprietary acrylic resin.

Which standards are referenced for testing and evaluation?

The specification references ASTM methods and practices, including tests for salt spray, tension, water vapor transmission, corrosion evaluation, hardness, color differences, and other coating-related performance measures.
