BINGHAMTON, N.Y. - May 12, 2015 - PRLog -- Astec Re-Ply Roofing systems, a world leader in seamless roofing and exterior coating technology, recently announced that it has hired Joe Rokowski as their new Technical Director.

“Joe brings a unique mix of chemistry expertise and a strong knowledge of the business of coatings to our company.  We’re excited to have him on our team,” said David Ziebarth, President of Astec Re-Ply Roofing.  Joe’s responsibilities at Astec include new product development, quality control, formulation science and assisting in business development.

Prior to joining Astec, Rokowski was the Global Elastomeric Roof Coatings Group Leader and Principal Research Scientist in R & D for Dow Construction Chemicals.  Joe has worked in the coatings industry since joining Rohm and Haas in 1981.

Rokowski’s accomplishments include eleven patents, two Otto Haas Awards, and a Roon Award from the Federation of Societies for Coatings Technology.  He earned a BS in Chemistry from St. Joseph’s University in Pennsylvania in 1988.

Astec has been providing roofing solutions to businesses around the world on hundreds of millions of sq. ft. and they look forward to continuing to work directly with building owners, and facility / property managers to reduce capital expenditures and energy costs while extending the facility life cycle values of the property. ICC was even able to help US Army facilities in the Middle East reduce energy consumption by 26%.

Here is what others have said about Astec:

“We can extend the life of existing roofing for a fraction of the cost of conventional roof replacement.”   - Benjamin S., Col, EN Director, Dept. of the Army
“The two biggest benefits to us are the prevention of water intrusion and the reflection of the sun so we can reduce our energy costs."
- Jack F., Vice Admiral (Retired), Naval Aviation Museum. The Naval Air Museum saved more than $300,000 over roof replacement.

ABOUT ICC:

ICC develops and manufactures fluid-applied membrane systems for the sustainable restoration of roofs, walls, and other industrial surfaces. ASTEC elastomeric products and systems not only provide seamless water-proof and weather-tight barriers; they offer high reflectivity, emissivity, and dissipation of heat, while reducing UV light degradation.

ASTEC coatings and membranes add advantages to any substrate that can lead to substantial maintenance and energy cost reductions. All ASTEC systems qualify for Energy Star and Cool Roof programs. In addition, many ASTEC monolithic ceramic wall and roofing systems test well beyond typical standards for durability, pliability, longevity, wind resistance, abrasion resistance, and salt, chemical, and corrosives resistance, while reducing thermal shock damage and the high cost of temperature control.
