3. OUR STORY
Topps® Products brings together over 50 years of experience manufacturing products for
the installation, restoration, and renewal of roofs on commercial and industrial buildings in
all climates around the world. In addition to the USA, Topps covers the globe in over 41
countries. (Including Iceland, Greenland, Saudi Arabia and the Antarctica).
It all began with Neoprene 66
(trademarked Polyprene), a 66%
solids all rubber heavily fibered
universal roof cement used for
flashings, seams, etc….No cracking!
No giving way!

5. OUR STORY cont’
• Products previously manufactured:
SilverLeaf and other Bituminous
Coatings.
- Coatings proved weak in comparison
to the physical properties of the
repair product Neoprene
66/Polyprene.
• Due to greater awareness, the need
evolved for coatings that would provide
more sustainable roofing and energy
savings.
• Topps Products moved from standard
coatings into whites and in 1983
developed our flagship product
Topps Seal.

7. Comparison With Acrylic
With so much at risk – it
doesn’t pay to take
chances.
Using Topps makes your
choice a better
one especially as
time goes on.

Takeaways:
1. Acrylics can be made in your bathtub at home.
2. Acrylics do not move to cracks and micro-fissures that channel leaks.
3. ACRYLICS AGE OUT!!! What happens to the elongation and tensile
strength of acrylic over time? Especially around seams and
fasteners?

Acrylic Elastomerics vs.
Solvent Based Elastomerics
Waterborne for Breathable (Porous) Surfaces
Water-based products breathe.
Water-based coatings should be used where entrapped moisture
might be an issue.
Should moisture be trapped in the substrate when the coating is
applied, water-based products will allow some moisture vapor to
escape.
Choose What is Best For Your Roof —
Not Just What Someone is Selling.
Coating selection is the most important factor to
consider. Topps® offers a complete line of maintenance
products. Compare the specifications of each
product to select the right one for your roof.
9. Surface Prep
Failed Original Coating
It happens. This bargain acrylic used 3 years
earlier failed. It will be removed with the
power washing process so that we can
stick direct to the metal rather than to
a coating which is prone to failure to
begin with.

14. TOPPS SEAL USA
We conducted 2 projects using TOPPS SEAL USA under the same client premise
in Bangkok.
Project 1: Storage containers
02 containers without AC next each other
Container 1: Unpainted.
Container 2: Painted with TOPPS SEAL
15. TOPPS SEAL USA
We installed 02 temperature loggers in each container (1 & 2)
Container 1 (Unpainted)
Container 2 (Painted
with TOPPS SEAL)

Highest temperature of 43.2 degC
Lowest temperature of 27.1 degC
18. TOPPS SEAL USA
Project 2: One 40ft. Office containers with AC
Prior applying TOPPS SEAL, our client used 3 AC (110,000 BTU/HR)
After TOPPS SEAL, we reduced to only 1 AC only (45,000 BTU/HR)
19. Why TOPPS?
The Easy to Live With Option
That’s because it is 100% rubber, 100% seamless, 100% maintainable, with systems for most
all roof types. It installs easily, usually with minimal labor.
Versatile
Use our repair products even when not installing a full system.
Energy Related Savings
Rooftop temperatures dramatically reduced. The net effect is reduced under roof
temperature with renewed weather protection up top.
Engineered and Manufactured to Outperform Common Acrylics
Stronger, more elastic, more chemical resistant. Greater resistance to temporary ponding
water damages. Helps prevent wash-off from unexpected precipitation. Extends your
application season and results.
The Renewable Resource Making Roofs Sustainable
Topps roofs that are appropriately maintained can also be economically renewed at the end
of the original warranty period at less cost and with excellent results.
