- Improved adhesion
- Resistance to moisture and water
- Less dirt pickup
- Lasting durability
Roof membranes and coatings provide effective protection against weathering and dirt. They make new roofs particularly resistant to moisture, UV rays and other external influences such as moss growth. Coating applications also offer significant benefits for existing roofs, slowing down the aging process and providing a cost-effective alternative to new roofing.
Silane-based formulations from Evonik's DYNASYLAN® brand serve as multifunctional adhesion promoters in many roof coatings. These silanes improve adhesion to conventional roofing substrates and single-ply membranes. As a result, surface adhesion remains durable even in humid environments, and the coatings retain their tensile strength even under harsh outdoor conditions.
With global temperatures rising, silanes are also critical to developing coating technologies for cool roofs. Evonik offers innovative solutions specifically for these demanding climatic conditions. The addition of DYNASYLAN® silanes improves weatherability, abrasion and impact resistance, and extends the service life of coatings that must withstand extreme conditions.
