Why Use The EnerG H.R. System:
By reflecting the sun's heat energy, it never has a chance to absorb into the building. This true reflectivity significantly lowers surface temperatures and limits the amount of heat trying to enter the building thus, lowering interior temperatures.

 

HI-SOL & TRUE-COLOR FORMULA:
EnerG H.R. with Hi-Sol contains over 63% solids content compared to the industry average of 32%-43% for conventional architectural coatings. That means you achieve 50%-100% more film build (dry mils) over the same surface area or can achieve higher spread rates in comparison. EnerG with True-Color Fade Resistance is inert to the effects of UV light. True-Color is able to retain its original color for up to 20 years or more, significantly reducing the number of recoats over the life of the building. EnerG H.R. Architectural has undergone extensive weather testing by Atlas Weathering Services of Arizona in accordance with ASTM G-26, receiving the highest available weather ability rating of 15 years.

HIGH PERFORMANCE COATING SYSTEM:
The recommended system is comprised of the EnerG H.R. PrimeCoat Insulative Primer and the EnerG H.R. Architectural Coating. Both are available in Acrylic or Elastomeric formulations to meet your environmental and substrate requirements. Acrylic formulas are suited for most applications including the best system for high moisture environments. Elastomeric formulas are suited for one coat stucco systems or other substrates that have a tendency to crack easily.

Our high solids, high build, and fade resistance, surpasses conventional coatings with superior durability, cleanability, and life span. In addition, our energy efficiency and reduction of the heat island effect results in a coating system that pays for itself over and over again. You simply can't afford not to specify EnerG H.R. for your exterior wall coating project.

WARRANTY:
Eco Safety Products, Inc. will warranty the system up 15 years when applied by an approved licensed contractor. The warranty period is determined by the total dry mil thickness of the PrimeCoat and Architectural coatings up to 15 dry mils. Warranty period is calculated at 1 year per each dry mil. Applications by non approved contractors will be covered by our limited warranty for defective materials only. Contact ESP for warranty details.

Application guide:

Surface must be thoroughly clean and sound. If painting over existing coatings remove all loose materials. Failure to correctly prepare the surface may result in product adhesion failure. Drill mix for 1 minute or until consistent prior to use. Apply EnerG PrimeCoat by airless sprayer, brush, or applicable nap roller at 6-9 wet mils for a 3-5 dry mil film. May be thinned with up to 10% clean water. Over thinning will reduce the effectiveness of the product. Allow approximately 2 to 3 hours dry time prior to applying EnerG H.R. Architectural. Follow same application procedure and thickness on your finish coat.
