Coating a TPO (vinyl) Roof
Our TT is 13 years old. The vinyl TPO roof is still in decent shape, even though it sits out in the Phoenix heat (mostly) year round. Lately I've been wondering what to do when the vinyl starts going ...

I received an email and spoke with the lady below, Sandra, whose company has the Superior RV Liquid Rubber Roofing product. She said she didn't want to get into direct comparisons with other products (LiquidRoof & Inland Coatings SC2000), but they believe theirs is the best - as stated in her email which I have copied below.
Sandra said it was brought over from their commercial division, which has used the same basic product on commercial roofs in Canada for many years. It is a SBC based product, if that means anything to you. (FYI - LiquidRoof can claim they are the only EPDM based liquid product; Inland Coatings SC2000 is a SEBS based product - all three are technically artificial rubber, just with different chamical bases, which have different properties. WHICH RUBBER BASE IS BEST? Yes, that is THE question!)
Also, this product, along with the Inland Coating product, do not require a primer over TPO, as does LiquidRoof. And neither uses a catalyst (as does LiquidRoof). Both the Inland & Superior products actually have pretty similar characteristics on paper it seems (to my non-professional eye), which characteristics I would say seem superior to LiquidRoof.
