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 ...

Here's the email I got back from LiquidRoof:
A few characteristics from their website:
680 psi tensile
62° F brittle point
180-200% elongation
Tear resistance - fair to good
Resilience - fair to good
Abrasion resistance - good to excellent
My thoughts on this product is that it would be better than elastomertic latex products (Hengs, et. al.), which as he states in his email, is a solvent based rubber. However, it needs to be compared with other solvent based rubber products like Inland Coatings RC2000 and Superior RV Liquid Rubber coatings. When compared to them, I think LiquidRoof might not come out as good. But this is just my humble, unwashed opinion. (If I could figure out how too do it, it might be interesting to do a little grid comparison of these three products on here . . .)
Hello terry not familiar with those but the liquid roof is the only liquid EPDM rubber product in the world. Most other rv coatings are urethanes or elastomerics; acrylics
The product has been around for over 20 years and here are the benefits
Thank you
The only LIQUID version of epdm in the world
18-20 Year life expectancy
Only ONE coat needed! (must use primer with TPO)
Proven to last 3X longer than standard elastomerics
Waterproofs immediately upon application
Can be applied easily with a paint brush or roller.
As a liquid, it can conform to any shape of surface, horizontal or vertical
Self-levels
Not water based (100% catalyst based system)
Elongation longer than other elastomers
Very broad temperature tolerance range - from 300 degrees F to minus 62 degrees F
Acid and alkali resistant
Liquid Rubber can be applied to hot roof surfaces encountered during the summer
Long Pot Life
