Description
Koopers Coal Tar Bitumen built-up roofing systems consist of alternate layers of Koppers Coat Tar Bitumen and Koopers Tarred Felt surfaced with a heavy too pouring of Koppers Coai Tar Bitumen mto whicn is emoedded an aggregate
Koooe'S Cca1 Ta* Bitumen Duiit-up roofing s. stems are usec'wnenever a roof is exposed to water anccnaii eve or iowsiopea roofs witna maximum s.ooe Of >ncn per foot
Features
Coal Tar Bitumen Duiit-up roofing provides one of tne most duraoie roofing systems known due to ts inherent waterproofing and weathering characteristics. Coal tar roofing svstems are tne time proven roofing systems for level and low sloped roofs.
Coai Tar Bitumen provides numerous advantages to an owner The superior performance of coal tar roofing systems m the areas listed below make coal tar roofing systems uniaue m the roofing industry
1. Coat Tar Bitumen has natural resistance to water, atr and water vapor penetration.
A tigm moiecutar structure enables Coal Tar Bitumen to resist water penetration and oxiaation of tne roof surface
2. Another feature of coal tar roofing is its sellhealing ability.
Aihgatormg and hairime cracks common to most matenais eventually cause damage to the roofing membrane Coal Tar Bitumen has a
property known as cold flow which automatically corrects these conditions before serious damage takes place This coidflow' feature neats small mechanical fractures at normal temperatures 3. Application improvements.
Because Koppers has expertise m the Chemistry of aromatic coal tars Coal Tar Bitumen was deveiooed with tne beneficial features of low fume evolution at application temperatures thus reducing potential irritation during application
These features reoresem significant improvements which are in consort with the aims of government labor ano industry m the areas of reduced air ooiiudon anc improved worker conditions
Uses
1. Ail dead >evei roofs 2. Ail water cooieo roofs 3. Low sloped roofs with occasional ponding
4. Low sloped roofs with retarded drainage
5. am ouiidmgs witn ievei or ow siopea roofs that are ouitt tor long service -

Cut Offs (Permanent Installation)
Venting of root insulation at wans curbs eaves etc is recommended for most roof structures Therefore cut-offs snouia not be nstailea at edges of insulation adjoining these areas for venting purposes
Cut-offs may be installed however provided they are constructed to run in one direction continuously to venteo edges and provided no section of tne roofing is isolated or blocked from venting
Vapor Retarders
Vapor retaroers are normally used where the neat flow direction ana or numiaity within the bunding during any climate or occupancy cycie rmgntx cause tne dew point or condensation to occur under the buiit-uo roofmg within the insulation chamoer it is important that the vapor retarder when installed provide a continuous seal, (including ventilators, skytignts peripheral wans and other terminations) from tne source of the water vapor

Good roofing practice dictates that the following points be considered when specifying board tyoe roof insulation
1. The roofing insulation must be kept dry at ail times it must oe of a type approved by Koppers for use with a Koppers built-up roof It snouia only be applied over a deck complying witn ail of Koppers General Requirements.

General information
There are numerous (lashing details that have been Droven by exoerience over the years. There are normally a number of acceptable construction details for accomohshing one ouroose The architect should select a detail that best serves tne ouroose under the various and diderent conditions concerned with tne specific iob at hand In certain cases, siignt modifications are necessary to adiust a oroven detail to iob conditions or one method may serve better than another
The details shown in this manual are some suggestions based on experience Soace limitations orombit listing many others
Design or selection is a responsibility of the architect

Liquid Asphalt 480 >s a Hueo co>a applied hign-auanty asphalt emission containing Bentonite day it s me waterproofing component of me *eavy Duty Roof Smeid System Tne unioue ge structure of L'Quio Aspnait 460 will not alligator ouster or flow m hot weather
Heavy Duty Glass Fiber Mesn is a patented reinforcing mat of a non-woven jackstraw pattern of snort caoie strands of glass fiber Each strand is composed of more than 200 glass monofilaments and is completely surrounded with tne Liquid Asphalt 460. thereby eliminating water wickmg by capillarity into the waterproofed surface
Application
1. Surface Preparation, if there is a Question to the soundness of tne existing roof and msutation a core cut snouio be made AH minor repairs must be made prior to priming ANY ouster containing moisture must De allowed to DRY Before repair is maoe
2. Priming. Every effort should be made to
>1
remove Oust from the surface if the dust cannot be completely removed Koppers High
Penetration Primer *452 should be applied
at the rate of approximately . gallon per
100 sq ft
if a primer is used, it must be allowed to dry thoroughly before proceeding with Roof Shield application
3. Flashing. Flashing areas snail be examined, repaired and pruned as reouireo Root Shield .should be apoueo first to Hashing areas
4. Application. Brush or spray-on an embedding coat of Liquid Aspnait 460 at the rate of 4 gallons per 100 sq ft Do not apply if temperatures below 40s F are expected within 8 hours or >f ram is expected before the emulsion has time to dry
While the emulsion is wet. embed Heavy Duty Glass Fioer Mesn into it with firm brush pressure forcing the emulsion through ana around the glass stands Each succeeding giass strip should overlap the preceding one by 2 mcnes Roll ends of Heavy Outy Glass

Effective Maintenance with Tar and Asphalt Roof Resaturants
Lower* the softening point of the top pour of bitumen.
Restores flexibility to dried or otherwise brittle fett.
Adds additional waterproofing to the surface.
Provides a means of new gravel embedment.
Purpose:
Tar:
Procedure:
Many factors play a cart in the service life of a roof Some factors are uncontrollable Others can definitely oe controlled There are some aspects of roof degradation that will follow a recognized path ana the end result can be predicted
The normal degradation of a built-up roof oegms at the top surface This is unaerstanaaoie since it is the top surface that s subjected to the deleterious elements of the atmosphere As soon as a roofing bitumen ts exposed to these elements, an age hardening process begins As the softening point of the bitumen increases, cold flow properties Oimimsn ana resistance to moisture penetration decreases The volatizmg or subliming of a roofing bitumen takes its toll on me performance characteristics of me bitumen
At some time prior to tne roof reaching the point wnen maintenance is no longer `easibie. preventive maintenance sho. d be established. even though the roof mav not be leaking After considering the age. type of bitumen used to construct me roof and general condition the use of Koppers Roof Resaturants offers an effective means of implementing preventive roof maintenance
Koppm Roof Rasaturant 410 Mas a ease of coal tar roofing Bitumen, blended with nonvolatile oils and selected fibers. Roof Resaturant 410 provides the maximum softening effect and dried felt penetration, There ts no addition of volatiles that would rapidly evaporate.
Koppers Roof Resaturant L.O. 410 nas the same nigh quality performance as 410. but has been refined to meet the most stringent air quality standards of tne west coast states: tne result is a low odor product tor maturation of roofs.
Koppers Fiber Coating 415 is a tar base product specially formulated to meet Federal Specification SS-C-540 Fiber Coating 415 contains properly selected fibers plus pene trating oils
Asphalt:
Koppers Roof Resaturant 425 is an asphalt resaturant designed to provide a softening effect to the dried roofing felts. Roof Resaturant 425 is a blend of asphalt and oils compined with fibers to provide a product suitable for flat or sloped graveled roofs
1. All loose gravel must be removed from roof If existing gravel is to be reused, it must oe washed free of silt
2. Silt is removed with water pressure, air pressure or vacuuming. If water is used tne roof must be allowed to dry completely belore proceeding
3. Drains are covered with screens 10 prevent clogging of tne drain system
4. After the root is properly cleaned all necessary repairs are made with compatible materials.
5. Koppers Roof Resaturant is applied evenly onto root at the rate of seven i7) gallons per square The application rate may vary with tne condition of tne roof
S. Gravel or slag is applied to cover me Koppers Roof Resaturant Gravel snail oe m Ihe range, and must be washed Care must be taxen to avoid exceeding weight limits ol tne root deck Gravel should be applied immediately after application of resaturant
7. Precautions must Oe taken to close off a < conditioning air intake ducts during summe' neat-load peaks to minimize odor intiiirat'O'into occupied Buildings during application
