Pyramic is a white, non-toxic, fire-retardant roof coating. Formulated from water-based, pure acrylic, self-curing latex polymers, Pyramic preserves asphaltic or modified bitumen surfaces and reduces under-roof temperatures to create a more pleasant interior work environment that is less costly. Pyramic's high-performance acrylic polymers give added strength, flexibility, adhesion, and color retention to aged roofing systems. Pyramic also contains unique "bleed-blocking" polymers suitable for use over asphaltic surfaces. It is designed for application by brush, roller, or spray.

Method | Description |
---|---|
Spray | The Pyramic system can be spray, brush or roller applied. Apply one coat of Pyramic Base Coat at a maximum rate of 1 gal/100 sq. ft. (0.41 l/m2). Then top coat with Pyramic at a maximum rate of 1 gal/100 sq. ft. (0.41 l/m2) in a crosshatch manner. Total coverage rate should be 2 gal./100 sq. ft. (0.82 l/m2). Using the gray base coat allows you to see even coverage of the top coat. For more spray application information, see the Pyramic system spray application guide for details. |
Brush | The Pyramic system can be spray, brush or roller applied. Apply one coat of Pyramic Base Coat at a maximum rate of 1 gal/100 sq. ft. (0.41 l/m2). Then top coat with Pyramic at a maximum rate of 1 gal/100 sq. ft. (0.41 l/m2) in a crosshatch manner. Total coverage rate should be 2 gal./100 sq. ft. (0.82 l/m2). Using the gray base coat allows you to see even coverage of the top coat. |
Roller | The Pyramic system can be spray, brush or roller applied. Apply one coat of Pyramic Base Coat at a maximum rate of 1 gal/100 sq. ft. (0.41 l/m2). Then top coat with Pyramic at a maximum rate of 1 gal/100 sq. ft. (0.41 l/m2) in a crosshatch manner. Total coverage rate should be 2 gal./100 sq. ft. (0.82 l/m2). Using the gray base coat allows you to see even coverage of the top coat. |

Application Guidelines | Pyramic Spray Application Guidelines |
Typical, dark-colored built-up roofs can absorb over 70% of the solar energy that reaches them, creating temperatures over 180°F (82.2°C). Studies confirm that Pyramic reduces roof temperatures by 50-80°F (10-26.7°C) and saves significant energy during the summer months.
UV radiation accelerates roof systems' degradation. Pyramic's white, flexible finish reflects the sun's ultraviolet rays and reduces their damaging effects. In addition, roofing materials contract and expand as they heat up during the day and cool at night. A roof coated with Pyramic does not experience such large temperature fluctuations; therefore, the roofing system undergoes less fatigue.
Pyramic eliminates the flammability and toxicity hazards associated with solvent-based coatings. There are no irritating or unpleasant odors with Pyramic. Pyramic is an approved product under CRRC® and Title 24 standards.
