HOW IS RD-SUNGUARD DIFFERENT FROM CONVENTIONAL PRODUCTS ?

RD-SUNGUARD is the fruit of a research program initiated at the request of our customers facing very hot and sunny climates, combined with our expertise in technical coatings for waterproofing and anticorrosion.

While developing a white paint is relatively simple, maintaining its whiteness - and therefore its reflectivity - and its integrity over the long term is far more complex. 

Roofs are exposed to harsh conditions such as sun, rain, snow, ice, temperature variations and pollution. Our aim is to provide a superior quality product, enabling our customers to avoid having to apply a new coat of "white" every 4 or 5 years.

In keeping with our tradition, RD-SUNGUARD is a single-component, water-based coating formulated with a new generation of resins to boost its solar reflectance properties and maintain them for a very long time!

  • a white that will stay white for many, many years
  • a very high solar reflectance index
  • excellent dirt resistance and self-cleaning properties
  • excellent resistance to erosion

SUITABLE FOR ALL TYPES OF ROOFING !

Easy to apply, it is suitable for almost all types of roofing : 

Metal roofing, bituminous roofing, shingles, fibre cement, etc., flat or pitched.

RD-Sunguard is compatible with the entire RD Coatings range and can be applied to new or old roofs !
