Cool roofing has become a hot topic as of late. Frankly, we find all the current interest to be somewhat amusing since Acrymax has been manufacturing and supplying reflective cool roof coatings since the late 1950’s. You could say that we were ahead of the curve by about 45 years! In any event we are pleased to announce that we have now joined CRRC, The Cool Roof Rating Council, and have submitted our range of reflective roof coatings for testing and listing.

CRRC is a non-profit organization that was created for evaluating and labeling the solar reflectance and thermal emittance of roofing products and to disseminate this information to interested parties such as architects, government agencies, roofing contractors, and others involved in the roofing industry.

CRRC has three goals for radiative energy performance:

• Implement and communicate
• Support research
• Provide education

A main part of CRRC is their Product Rating Program. In this program roofing products that are tested under a strict program administered by the CRRC can be labeled with radiative property values set by CRRC.

Since the 1950’s Acrymax has been formulating, manufacturing, and marketing high performance coating systems. Acrymax provides their customers with the highest quality products and promotes the principals of environmental sustainability with their products and practices.
