Asphalt Roof Sealers and Coatings

ShinglEx 800 acrylic asphalt shingle roof sealer is formulated specifically for shingle rejuvenation, restoring weathered roofs and reducing granule loss by 88%. For cool roof applications, SolarEx 300 acrylic coating applies directly over asphalt shingles, using titanium dioxide pigments to reflect over 90% of solar radiation. The optimal choice depends on whether your project requires clear granule preservation or high-reflectivity thermal protection.

Acrylic sealers such as ShinglEx 800 form a waterborne acrylic film across asphalt shingles that binds loose mineral granules to the underlying asphalt substrate. In laboratory testing conducted by PRI Asphalt Technologies, this coating system achieved an 88% reduction in granule loss. The protective barrier also shields the asphalt matrix from damaging ultraviolet radiation, moisture penetration, and surface dusting without requiring complete roof replacement.

Silicone roof coatings like SiliconEx 500 adhere to asphalt and modified bitumen substrates, but they typically require an acrylic bleed-blocking primer such as BleedEx 400. Applying a bleed blocker prior to the silicone topcoat prevents asphalt oils from migrating into the coating surface, ensuring proper adhesion and maintaining the high reflectivity and hydrophobic ponding water resistance of the cured silicone membrane.

SolarEx asphalt roof sealers and coatings can be applied using standard commercial roofing equipment, including airless sprayers, rollers, or brushes. For larger commercial and residential restoration projects, airless spray application at 3,000 PSI or higher provides fast, even coverage across textured shingle or built-up surfaces. Coverage rates reach up to 250 square feet per gallon per coat depending on substrate porosity.

Acrylic coatings like SolarEx 300 and TropEx 310 are water-based elastomeric systems offering excellent UV reflection, crack bridging, and dirt resistance on sloped roofs and shingles. Silicone coatings like SiliconEx 500 are solvent-free, moisture-curing formulas engineered for permanent ponding water resistance on flat or low-slope roofs. Both systems extend roof longevity and reduce heat absorption when paired with compatible basecoats or primers.

Elastomeric basecoats such as ElastEx 200 and SealEx 100 deliver high elongation and tensile strength to bridge surface cracks and accommodate thermal movement across asphalt substrates. These water-based membranes cure into a seamless, flexible barrier that seals minor leaks and prevents moisture intrusion, creating a stable foundation beneath reflective acrylic or protective silicone topcoats on residential and commercial roofing systems.
