Asphalt Roof Shingle Coatings and Paints

Asphalt shingle coatings bond directly to the roofing surface to stabilize weathered asphalt and secure loose granules. In laboratory testing conducted by PRI Asphalt Technologies, ShinglEx 800 demonstrated 88% less granule loss compared to untreated shingles. By locking granules in place, the waterborne acrylic coating prevents surface dusting, protects underlying asphalt layers from erosion, and extends the service life of aging five- to fifteen-year-old shingle roofs.

These acrylic roof coatings can be applied using standard commercial roofing equipment, including airless sprayers, rollers, or brushes. For airless spray application with SolarEx 300, equipment rated at 3,000 PSI or higher is recommended for proper atomization. Surfaces should be clean and dry prior to coating. ShinglEx 800 offers coverage up to 250 square feet per gallon per coat across compatible asphalt shingle surfaces.

Coatings are available in multiple stock colors and extensive custom color options. ShinglEx 800 comes in Clear, Black, Gray, Brown, Red, Green, White, and custom formulations. SolarEx 300 offers custom color matching using a 1,020-color fan deck as well as color collections from major paint brands, allowing contractors and property owners to refresh or change roof aesthetics while preserving high reflectivity.

Reflective cool roof coatings like SolarEx 300 incorporate high concentrations of Titanium Dioxide pigments—five times higher than standard white coatings—to reflect over 90% of solar and infrared radiation. By preventing solar heat absorption through asphalt shingles, these 100% acrylic emulsion coatings reduce heat transfer into the building structure, helping decrease cooling loads and protect roofing materials from thermal degradation.

Coatings are available in container sizes suited for projects ranging from residential touch-ups to large commercial installations. Container options include five-gallon pails, 55-gallon drums, 180-gallon pallet configurations, and 265-gallon bulk totes. Sample quart containers are also available for testing. Free shipping is provided within the United States, supporting both job-by-job contractor needs and bulk distributor volume requirements.

Durability varies by product formulation and application specification. ShinglEx 800 provides a 7-year material warranty on qualifying two-coat installations when properly applied to aging asphalt shingles. SolarEx 300 forms a hard, abrasion-resistant, mildew-resistant acrylic film designed to last 10 to 15 years under proper application conditions, delivering long-term weather protection and sustained solar reflectance.
