1. Moisture Resistance One of the standout features of DensDeck is its high moisture resistance. The board is designed to withstand exposure to water, which helps to mitigate the risk of mold and mildew growth, protecting the building's structural integrity and improving indoor air quality.
4. Sustainability Metal roofing is often made from recycled materials and is itself recyclable at the end of its lifespan, making it an environmentally friendly choice.
However, there are scenarios where a rougher surface may be beneficial. In construction applications, for example, a rougher galvanized surface can provide improved bonding with paints and other coatings, ensuring durability and protection against corrosion over time. Moreover, in certain industrial applications, increased roughness can enhance mechanical properties such as resistance to wear and tear.
Another example is BHT (butylated hydroxytoluene) and BHA (butylated hydroxyanisole), used to prevent oils and fats from going rancid. While they are deemed generally recognized as safe by the FDA, these preservatives have been associated with a range of health concerns, including hormonal disruptions and increased cancer risk in animal studies. Critics argue that more extensive human studies are necessary to fully understand their long-term effects.
