Ram Cold Tar® Plus is a unique thermoplastic SBS rubber coating compound that is used for the repair and restoration of existing asphalt, coal tar, and modified bitumen membrane systems.
Ram Cold Tar® Plus is a unique thermoplastic SBS rubber coating compound that is used for the repair and restoration of existing asphalt, coal tar, and modified bitumen membrane systems.
Using the existing membrane as its base, Ram Cold Tar® Plus adheres over the surface to create a new, durable, monolithic, elastomeric membrane that is resistant to ponding water and other detrimental roof elements.
Used as part of a total restoration procedure, a Ram Cold Tar® Plus system can be installed at a cost of up to 60% less than a typical re-roofing process. Many projects can be expensed the same year, avoiding long-term depreciation limits.
Ram Cold Tar® Plus built-up roof assemblies offer the benefits of a cold-applied liquid system with the superior durability typically associated with hot-applied, multi-ply membranes. Recommended for poorly draining and low-slope roof decks when long-term performance and limited maintenance is desired.
For optimum performance in exposed roof applications, Ram Cold Tar® Plus should be coated with gravel, granules, or an Energy Star® approved reflective coating.
A Ram Cold Tar® Plus system costs 40–60% less than a full roof replacement.
Single-component and fluid-applied — rolled or squeegeed over the existing membrane with no torches or hot kettles.
The SBS-modified coating stretches to accommodate building movement without cracking.
Finish with gravel, granules, or an Energy Star® reflective Ram Ultra-White® or Ultra-Silver® coating.
Cures to a seamless, monolithic membrane that stands up to standing water and other detrimental roof elements.
As a restoration rather than a replacement, many projects can be expensed the same year instead of capitalized.
The success of a roofing & waterproofing system is ultimately reliant upon the accuracy of the installation. Each demo walks through a Barrett system step by step, straight from the crews who install them.
After evaluating the roof of their 240,000 sq/ft facilities building, the management team at LinkBelt Construction Equipment did just that. Thanks to Barrett’s Ram Cold Tar® Plus roof restoration & repair system & Ram Ultra-Silver® reflective aluminum finish, the result was a new, fully detailed, watertight roofing system that saved the company time, money, and energy.
