EcoCoolRoof® System UL-200 Construction Method: A primary construction method mainly used on concrete substrates, applicable to both new construction and renovation sites, comprising EcoCrete® 76 Slurry, EcoCoolRoof® Basecoat, EcoRoof® Fabric, and EcoCoolRoof® Finishcoat as a composite waterproofing system. Recommended usage per m2 includes 1.0 kg of EcoCrete® 76 Slurry, 1.8 kg of EcoCoolRoof® Basecoat, 1.16 m2 of EcoRoof® Fabric, and 0.9 kg of EcoCoolRoof® Finishcoat.EcoCoolRoof®SystemUL-200ConstructionMethod:Aprimaryconstructionmethodmainlyusedonconcretesubstrates,applicabletobothnewconstructionandrenovationsites,comprisingEcoCrete®76Slurry,EcoCoolRoof®Basecoat,EcoRoof®Fabric,andEcoCoolRoof®Finishcoatasacompositewaterproofingsystem.Recommendedusageperm2includes1.0kgofEcoCrete®76Slurry,1.8kgofEcoCoolRoof®Basecoat,1.16m2ofEcoRoof®Fabric,and0.9kgofEcoCoolRoof®Finishcoat.
EcoCrete® 76: A milky liquid product used as a primer for waterproofing, applied as a slurry by mixing cement and water in a 1:1:3 ratio after surface preparation. It penetrates the concrete substrate to form a primary waterproofing layer and maximizes adhesion with subsequent layers. This product is eco-friendly with minimal detection of VOCs and heavy metals.EcoCrete®76:Amilkyliquidproductusedasaprimerforwaterproofing,appliedasaslurrybymixingcementandwaterina1:1:3ratioaftersurfacepreparation.Itpenetratestheconcretesubstratetoformaprimarywaterproofinglayerandmaximizesadhesionwithsubsequentlayers.Thisproductiseco-friendlywithminimaldetectionofVOCsandheavymetals.
EcoRoof® Fabric: A fiber sheet developed from 100% polyester material using a knitting principle, maximizing bidirectional tensile strength. It ensures breathability of the waterproofing layer, significantly improves workability by preventing wrinkles and overlaps during application, and is a core component of the patented method that resolves thickness reliability issues of conventional membrane waterproofing and leakage problems at corners, joints, and protrusions of sheet waterproofing.EcoRoof®Fabric:Afibersheetdevelopedfrom100%polyestermaterialusingaknittingprinciple,maximizingbidirectionaltensilestrength.Itensuresbreathabilityofthewaterproofinglayer,significantlyimprovesworkabilitybypreventingwrinklesandoverlapsduringapplication,andisacorecomponentofthepatentedmethodthatresolvesthicknessreliabilityissuesofconventionalmembranewaterproofingandleakageproblemsatcorners,joints,andprotrusionsofsheetwaterproofing.
EcoCoolRoof®: The core component of the EcoCoolRoof® System, composed of CHMA-silicone acrylic composition and supplied as basecoat and finishcoat. It is a hybrid copolymerization technology leveraging the advantages of pure acrylic and CHMA-silicone, offering excellent UV resistance, durability, and strong resistance to contamination, making it a Korean-style cool roof waterproofing technology.EcoCoolRoof®:ThecorecomponentoftheEcoCoolRoof®System,composedofCHMA-siliconeacryliccompositionandsuppliedasbasecoatandfinishcoat.ItisahybridcopolymerizationtechnologyleveragingtheadvantagesofpureacrylicandCHMA-silicone,offeringexcellentUVresistance,durability,andstrongresistancetocontamination,makingitaKorean-stylecoolroofwaterproofingtechnology.
DirtyGuard System: A high-durability topcoating system designed to protect the cool roof waterproofing layer from atmospheric pollutants such as fine dust and yellow dust. It is applied to the water-based CHMA-silicone acrylic EcoCoolRoof® System and can be applied using an airless spray or roller.DirtyGuardSystem:Ahigh-durabilitytopcoatingsystemdesignedtoprotectthecoolroofwaterproofinglayerfromatmosphericpollutantssuchasfinedustandyellowdust.Itisappliedtothewater-basedCHMA-siliconeacrylicEcoCoolRoof®Systemandcanbeappliedusinganairlesssprayorroller.
