The Garland Company announced the addition of Green-Lock Plus White to its existing family of Green-Lock Plus high-performance adhesives. Like original Green-Lock Plus, Green-Lock Plus White can be used to construct multiply modified bitumen roofing systems, while providing the additional benefit of serving as a reflective surfacing option when combined with white marble aggregate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Green-Lock Plus White features an environmentally preferable non-asphaltic formulation \u2013 100% solids, zero VOCs and zero solvents. Its introduction comes following the recent announcement that original Green-Lock Plus has been certified as a Biopreferred product by the US Department of Agriculture. With its UV reflectivity comes the additional benefit of improved energy efficiency for a building when used as a flood coat with white marble aggregate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe know that energy efficiency is a priority, and a brighter surface that reduces UV absorption delivers on that front,\u201d said Ed Buczek, Director of Product Management for The Garland Company. \u201cBut roofing isn\u2019t one size fits all. With Green-Lock Plus White, buildings that need a flood-and-gravel surface can reduce thermal shock and more easily maintain a comfortable indoor temperature year-round.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
In addition to its sustainable benefits, Green-Lock Plus White is contractor-friendly. It is ready-to-use and applies with a roller, squeegee, or as a flood coat to white marble aggregate. It is rain-safe, curing in as little as 4 hours. The product\u2019s low-VOC, 100% solids formulation also means low odor. It can be applied directly to a range of substrates, including G-P Gypsum DensDeck Prime, DensDeck DuraGuard, SecuRock, or high-density asphalt-coated wood fiberboard, as well as single or multiple plies of approved Garland base sheets and membranes, and functions equally well on flat roofs up to slopes as steep as 3:12. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Said Buczek, \u201cThe most sustainable roofing project, and the most contractor-friendly, is the one that doesn\u2019t require re-work, doesn\u2019t leak, and doesn\u2019t cause headaches for the building owner. With Green-Lock Plus White, we\u2019re able to deliver outstanding waterproofing and performance, with game-changing sustainability benefits that provide superior total cost of ownership.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
