Coal Tar. A dark brown to black cementitious material produced by the destructive
distillation of coal.
Coal Tar Felt. A felt saturated with refined coal tar.
Coating Weight. Weight of coating on surface (both sides), usually expressed in g/m2
or oz./ft.2.
Coefficient of Thermal Expansion. The change in length per unit of length for a unit
change in temperature. (Thus the coefficient per oF must be multiplied by 1.8 for the
coefficient per oC.)
drops or atmospheric pressure rises (see also Dew point).
particular body or assembly having defined surfaces, when unit average temperature
difference is established between the surfaces. C=(W/ m2K) C=(Btu/hft20F).
thickness across unit area for unit difference of temperature.
Copolymer. A mixed polymer, the product of polymerization of two or more substances
at the same time.
Counterflashing. Formed metal or elastomeric sheeting secured on or into a wall,
curb, pipe, rooftop unit, or other surface, to shield the upper edge of a base flashing and

horizontal intersection of the roof with a chimney, wall, expansion joint or other
projection.
Curb. A raised member used to support roof penetrations such as skylights, hatches,
etc.
Cure. To change the properties of a polymeric system into a more stable, usable
condition by the use of heat, radiation, or reaction with chemical additives. NOTE: Cure
may be accomplished, for example, by removal of solvent or cross-linking.
Deck. The structural substrate to which the roofing or waterproofing system (including
insulation) is applied.
