Henry® 887 Tropi-Cool® 100% Silicone White Roof Coating is a premium, 100% silicone, moisture cure coating designed to reflect the sun's heat and UV rays as well as protect many types of roofs. While suitable for use in all climates, the 100% silicone chemistry is especially suited for extreme tropical environments, which are exposed to some of the hottest and wettest weather with intense UV exposure. It is specially designed to maintain maximum reflectivity of heat and UV rays as it ages. Its moisture cure chemistry creates a very aggressive chemical bond with the roof, which provides permanent resistance to ponding water, extreme durability, and superior capabilities of sealing and protection.

Imagine a company having a given (24 month) shelf life on their product, but will not tell you DOM or date of expiration. That is asinine, crazy, ludicrous. It kept me from purchasing 5 - 4.75 gallon pails. Thank God for Rustoleum 980, and Black Jack Eterna-Kote. I begged HENRY's customer service rep for help de-ciphering the date-code, after I had sent him clear phographs of the ones Home Depot had in stock. He simply ignored me. His name is MR. BENOIT
This worked so good on my asphalt shingle roof in phoenix. I ended up using 7 5 gallon pails. My attic fan no longer runs at all now. My white shingles used to be 165 degrees. It now reads 105 degrees on a sunny afternoon. Saves me 50$ or more per month. My ac bill is now under 200$ a month in July and August. Thanks!!
I am planing to coat my asphalt shingle too but they stated that The curing process of the coating could cause the shingles to curl and even break, do you notice any curl shingle after your roof coating cured?
@@blessingpeace not for use on shingles.
How did you apply brush or sprayer and how did you clean up ?
@@blessingpeace+g
wait 1 yr when dirty, looses 30% reflectivity then another 20% 1 yr later
Okay so if you apply it correctly how long will it last? over 10 years? 15 years? 20 years? i live in sw florida have a pitched 6/12 shingle roof that has no trees dropping leaves on it... thanks
@roadstar499 The Henry Tropi-Cool 100% silicone is not compatible with shingles of any kind and cannot be applied to a shingled roof.

Can you use this over plywood
My question is concerning solar panels on my motorhome. I want to cot my roof with henry tropicool and then screw down 24 solar panels. Do I use the tropicool as caulking over the panel brackets or is there another product that will stick and waterproof my solar installation?
I mean this is pretty much bulk caulk. They make 100% silicone caulk. But you could use siliconized acrylic too. Some will have more uv protection than others but you can use all kinds of spray on uv protection coatings on top of that too
I have a fiberglass motorhome roof and have never had luck with elastomeric products. Will the 100% silicone rubber coating work on fiberglass?
HE887 Tropi-Cool can be applied to aged fiberglass that is clean and dry.
Im looking at coating a old fifth wheel with a aluminum roof It has old others coatings and things Im going to clean what I can then dump a big coat on of this to fill little holes and bad spots Hoping this does the trick ! Impossible to clean and get rid of the old stuff perfectly. What do you think ?
Can this be applied over a painted metal roof?
I'm looking at using this product on a rubber RV roof. Question: Is the Tropi-cool product that comes in the caulk tubes (884) the same as what comes in the one gallon size (887)?
Hello Joe, did you ever try Henry tropi- cool on your RV ROOF.??
I was thinking it might not stick to my vinal/rubber roof.
Plus nothing else sticks to silicone products they are telling me.
I might have RV ARMOR come to my location and do there permanent life time roof coating to my 25 yr RV..
They send a team of guys out to where you are and do the job..
Look them up..
RV ARMOR
Will this adhere on top of white, clean, cured acrylic elastomeric coating? Thank you
I want to use this kind of product on my school bus I am converting into an rv. What kind of prep needs to be done when applying to a metal roof?
@@TheJameskelley0327 I'd just clean it off really good with bleach and TSP mixture or any good house cleaner chemical that also kills mildew, algae molds etc.
Can this be used as glue? I need to glue a wood board (2'x2') at the edge of the foam roof to prevent rain water from falling from the edges.
no
Can this be applied to a shipping container roof?
yes. fully read preparation necessary on side of can
1) Do I need a layer of Primer before applying the Silicon layer? 2) I have a worn out low pitch flat roof (2/10) which shows the fiber layer in 1 area, can I use this silicone coating to prevent leak? Thanks for your reply.
Acrylic primer is recommended. silicone has poor adhesion
Can I apply the second coat the next day?
Seems like that is fine
Can use this in play wood
This I need so so badly roof is leaks water inside my room 😭😭😭😭 question do I need to clean water blast or just remove leafs dust by using blower? Thank you 👍👍 it’s helps me watch ur videos
Common sense (and this video) dictates you must wash the existing surface. Duh.
How about over rubber flat roofs and repair?
Did u ever figure it out
read the label on the website, but this should work fine on a rubber roof if it is clean and dry
Hello,
After applying Henry 209XR Wet Patch Sealant on the roof, Can we apply Henry
887 Tropi-Cool 100% Silicone Roof Coating on it?
Would you recommend applying this underneath damaged, leaking shingles to stop roof leaks (and then reinstalling new shingles over top to complete the patch)? If no, why not?
No, the Henry Tropi-Cool 887 is not a leak stopper and cannot be used in this manner. If interested in stopping roof leaks, suggest looking at our line of wet patch roof leak repair: www.homedepot.com/p/Henry-Henry-209XR-Extreme-Rubberized-Wet-Patch-Roof-Cement-Leak-Repair-0-90-Gallon-HE209142/100002730?modalType=drawer
Can this be applied to new construction/ new plywood and use as the only roof. Or is this just used for a moisture barrier
this goes on top f a clean roof substrate. Best to apply roll roofing or some other membrane first.
Me gustaría que eso vídeos fueran traducidos a español muchas gracias saludos
We have a fiberglass rooftop which is the third level of a townhouse. Has patio furniture and a hot tub so there's regular foot traffic. In Florida and it's very hot up there during daylight hours. Have a pesky leak but it's mostly contained. Is this a good application for Tropi Cool?
Does anyone know how to clean brushes after using tropi-cool?
Garbage can. It's silicone...very difficult to thin and 'wash" off.
@@grc5618 i found out mineral spirits is the answer to my question
In this application, it appears it's not for waterproofing, but only for reflecting the sun. I'm looking for a long lasting waterproofing option for my roof without going to 20x50' rolls of EPDM rubber sheets.
I currently have liquid EPDM over epoxy primer over roll roofing just like this video, but it failed after 3 years and the material is breaking down with micro cracks and is peeling and has cracked along seems, letting water in.
Do you have a stronger solution that would last at least 20 years or more before starting to break down in northeast winter weather?
it is 100% waterproof and will not allow water to penetrate from ponding. On flat roofs, this or Eterna Kote are the best product for homeowners to make a waterproof flat or low pitch roof
@@dthorne4602 I'm now trying Tropicool on my roof. Problem is, there is still water bubbles forming every few months. I found a large bubble with a couple gallons of water in it, so I cut about 30 sq ft of the lifted material and re coated it with Tropicool at $138 for a gallon of the stuff. I'm hoping it doesn't leak again. It seems that all of these coatings are porous and let water in.
@@basspig no. Tropicool is 100% waterproof, but if you didn't apply it to a clean and dry, approved substrate, it will fail, also if you have a leak elsewhere that is allowing water into the roof structure, that moisture will find its way under the silicone. My guess is that your roof was wet internally already or has a leak elsewhere, this stuff can't leak - that's why you got a bubble rather than the water coming out through the material
@@dthorne4602 The roof is flat with a 5° pitch and is composition roll roofing, on top of which is EPDM Coatings epoxy coating, over which is their EPDM liquid rubber. That developed pinholes, and I had to remove sections that bubbled, and so last year I did a full coat of Tropicool over everything. The following spring, I had a couple of areas that accumulated a LOT of water. I'm thinking the only possibility is that there were bubbles in the Tropicool as it cured, and parts of it were porous and let the snow melt work it's way in. There is no existing water inside the roof. Certainly not gallons of it like I found this spring.
I am hoping there are no more of these instances. I need to put solar up there soon, as electric rates are set to double on Jan 1.
Sounds like a nasty project. roofing can take you to your limits. If this material is installed correctly, it isn't possible for water to go through it.If you can't figure out where the water is coming from, only corrugated metal roofing on top would be 100%, but at that low pitch you have to Install that perfectly too.
I used Owens Corning Proarmor underlayment. Can I paint the Tropicool over that and would that be sufficient?
@Dan The Proarmor would not be an acceptable substrate. You would need a cap sheet, not an underlayment.
I have a gravel roof can I scrape the roof and clean it then apply Henry tropic cool with fabric? Also, if so what it be the same process around sky lights?
What kind of roller can I use to paint the roof??
can this be used to stop leaks in a flat roof?
Yes it can. I used it on my camper with the fiberglass roof where it was leaking. Two years later and no leaks.
@@mini_worx so you say
Yes it can
do you have to apply the polyurethane foam or can you use this rubber sealant as a protectant layer by itself?
it goes on top of any suitable substrate. These are listed on the website and on the label.
I have a flat roof with small rocks throughout and there is area that is leaking do you recommend this product. If so, can i scrape as much little rocks and lay this product down?
I think I want an old fashion RV with an aluminum roof, they last much longer and can use different roofing products on them....
Trying to start the painting in the early hours because of the Texas heat but looking at it, there is dew on the roof. Do we have to wait until it dries before starting the paint process? We thoroughly cleaned our RV the last 2 days. Thank you!
@Beveryly The roof will need to be completely dry to apply the HE887.
Does Sheetmetal require a primer?
not if it has been well cleaned and isn't rusty
You need to win the lottery to afford a pail of that stuff, I'm going with rubber, better and less money.
will this work for concrete roof?
I would say it works good but at three times the price as other brands it doesn't work that well look around for other brands that do just as well for less
I just finished coating my flat roof with 25 gallons of your 555 Aluminum Fiber Roof Coating. I have depression in the roof where ponding occurs, it's 2 feet by 2 feet and about 2 inches deep. Do you have a product that I can pour into the depression and build it up? Maybe pour a 1/2 inch each week and let it dry and do another 1/2 inch the following week etc. etc. ?
this would work for that, buy a gallon and use it that way, the last layer would just be a pour to level it.
Your product failed and less than 2 years from application. I found three large pin holes that caused a leak that resulted in 64 ft of roofing becoming so rotten in just two years that it had to be replaced $1,200 in materials. I found several other parts of the roof that had big holes in the Henry tropical coating. Holes which I cannot explain. This product claims to have a lifetime guarantee but the company totally ignored me and my request for either a refund or replacement product. At nearly $500 for a 4.75 gallon bucket it is extremely overpriced hopium.
will this work on styrofoam? (pop up trailer repair)
What does "lifetime warranty" really mean?
what size roller nap is ideal for a flat somewhat smooth concrete roof?
3/8 inch nap
The commercials are extremely annoying.
I just finished applying Tropic-cool to my 1995 Bounder. Rubber was showing...I found a foam roller worked best for my use in applying it. I'm hoping it keeps the roof from having to be redone anytime in the future. DO you also give the same life time warranty to RV roofs?
I don't see why they would not.
I have a 94 Bounder, how did it work on yours. Did it help with any leaks?
Is there any solvent can be used for this coating ?
naphtha or mineral spirits. same data is on the material safety data sheet
Every roof should be white to help reflect sunlight and reduce global temperatures.
Great product , easier than reroofing
Do you need a liner to use this product
Thank you for thank info but do i have to primer it first??
Nope
Can this be applied to an epdm rubber rv roof ? Will it bond properly with out ruining the original roofing rubber ?
Yes, the Henry Tropi-Cool can be applied to a clean EPDM RV roof. The roof can be cleaned using TSP or a TSP substitute cleaner or any non-filming detergent such as Dawn dish soap.
@@HenryCompanyLLC is your products petroleum free because you are not supposed to use that on a EPDM rubber roof
@@iair-conditiontheoutsideai3076 I've seen vids that are 2 years old on rv roofs and the only place henrys has kinda come off of is eternabond tape.
@@NigelM18 silicone doesn't stick to EPDM
Can you apply after sunset? 50’s F
If I apply a thick layer over a crack, will it seal and keep water from coming in? Thank you
Not recommended, get some self-leveling sealer and fix all cracks before applying the Henrys.
I have a commercial building in NYC manhattan. Are there regulations and fire codes required
@Kai Tso please reach out to our local sales team at hrseast-team@henry.com
for specific information.
Can 887 be applied to shingled roof?
no
En México se puede conseguir su producto??
Si. En Home Depot, se llama Henry Tropicool 100% de silicone, hay uno de acrílico pero no es bueno por no permeabilidad el agua o humedad como el de silicona.
Can we use on teracoata top in ceiling
Can we paint over it?
Silicone doesn't take paint. I found a way around it in th past by spraying the silicone with www.google.com/search?q=3M+spray+glue+for+drywall+corners&rlz=1C1GCEU_enUS947US947&oq=3M+spray+glue+for+drywall+corners&aqs=chrome..69i57j0i22i30j0i390i650l4.33997386j0j15&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8
Then paint over. I can't vouch for how long it will last.
Does it help with the cold weather?
the house won't get as warm from sun exposure, so it makes the house cooler in all seasons - at least when the sun is shining
Will Henry's adhere to silicone coating?
Henry's what? This is Henry's, it is a silicone coating. It will adhere to itself providing the surface is dry and clean
Will this Work on a Rubber RV roof and not harm the Rubber roof of the RV?
Silicone is non reactive
Very expensive . $248 for 4.75 gallons. I went with duro brite
Where did you find it that cheap? It's $445 at Home Depot right now.
This and duro brite are completely different materials. This is 100% silicone, lifetime warranty product. Good for at least 50 years. Duro Brite is an acrylic product that will not last very long and will require more maintenance along the way. Absolutely not worth the small savings - the amount of installation labor is the same.
I found it for that price and it's what it's selling for year ago when i was looking on the West Coast in The Home Depot
Dude Start telling the truth here. The duro has a 10 year warranty And it's quite a bit less the other you're talking about not a little bit quite a bit it's more than double the price. You are probably selling it is why you're saying this stuff so you can sell the high price stuff. You can also recoat the duro. Read tis from google . Summary: roof coating systems last 10-20 years, but once they reach the end of their warranty, they can be recoated and a new warranty begins. The process can be repeated, making roof coating systems a renewable and sustainable roofing system
@@stevewinter8928 who is selling stuff? He was complaining about how expensive it was where he looked at it.
Hello , my whole cement roof is 2,726.74 sq feet. It is very big. How many buckets of 4,75 gallons do I have to buy? Do I have to put it on standing blocks on the roof or only on the flat areas? Thank you.
Jacqueline Rovelet
Is it a flat roof? What type of material are you planning to put it on?
1 gallon × 100 sq feet.
2,800 sq ÷100= 28gallons.
10 buckets.
1.5 gals/100 sq ft as per the video. That’s 67 sq ft/gal. 2727 sq ft/67 is about 41 gallons. 41 gals/4.75 gal buckets = 8.63 buckets. I would buy 9 buckets.
Can I use on a black top driveway ?
no lol
Can you apply Henry Tropi Cool silicone white roof coating to a flat room that is covered with 2 coats of some sort of silver coating that a roofer put on several years ago?
Yes. Is for a variety of coats, asphalt, aluminum, fiberglass, etc. you’ll find where you can apply it on median size letters on the front of the bucket by the main label.
Can it be applied to plywood?
I just applied it straight to 3/4 luan with no problems at all
@@roni976 I wonder how long it will last over raw plywood ? Did you tape the seems with anything first ?
@@jameslester4260 yes I used everbond seam tape. Camper has been out in Indiana elements now all year and have taken it camping several times with no problems.
it can, but that would not be a good idea unless its just on a tree house or something. No warranty in that case. it needs a roof substrate underneath it to be legit.
Roof will be white? Weird look
its for hot climates so it reflects 79% of sun radiation back to hell.
White is the worst in the whole world !!!! Small air plane and helicopter are harresment and provoked the people. White color is very dangerous. BLACK IS THE BEST AND MORE SENSE AND MORE PRIVACY !!!!!
Why made in white ??? BECAUSE GOVERNMENT WANT TO SEE YOU !!!!!
@@fukaiyang3048 Black = attracts heat and ages the material fast
White = reflects heat and lasts longer
It's why all new energy efficient roofing is lighter colored.
Luke H. That is your excuses. Why don't we just using flex seal before those uniform antichrists 666 men shoot us down when we just working on our own roof ? We better using flex seal. No more henry white color. White color is going to cost someone death on their own roof and shot by those uniform Antichrists 666 men !
I read below that this should not be used on shingles. But my roof, similar to the one in video, looks like shingle material, but applied in rolls or sheets, I'm not sure. but why is it ok for this surface but not shingles?
Shingles are mean to be installed on pitches over 3/12, you can use it for roll of tourched or self stick rolls with a pitch of 3/12 or less, it will work with two coats very well for at least 7 years if well applying of a 30 mill uniform coat.
Good product
But very worst color !
@@fukaiyang3048 Worster.
Most silicones can never have anything applied over them. Is that the case with this product? Silicone caulk has to be removed before more silicone caulk can be applied, for instance.
@Jack Wesselman The Henry Tropi-Cool can be applied over silicone caulk.
@@HenryCompanyLLC can this product be applied to Bare plywood
@@chrisc7147 Plywood is not an acceptable substrate for our roof coatings.

@@elaineclementsfinn1872 yes. No problem.
Does this come in a clear?
no, but tan and grey are options besides the white
