Clear Elastomeric Roof Coatings for Asphalt Shingles

The best coating is a dedicated acrylic shingle rejuvenator that protects against granule loss and mildew while allowing easy recoating. ShinglEx 800 is engineered specifically for asphalt shingles, delivering 88% less granule loss in lab testing by PRI Asphalt Technologies, and offers an available seven-year material warranty on qualifying two-coat installations.

Coverage rates reach up to 250 sq ft per gallon per coat, depending on shingle porosity, age, and application method. The product can be applied with standard sprayers, rollers, or brushes. Material costs range from $0.22 to $0.60 per sq ft depending on container size, representing substantial savings compared to complete roof replacement.

Shingle coatings are ideal for aging asphalt roofs between 5 and 15 years old that display early granule loss, surface dusting, or weathered surfaces. Applying a restorative acrylic coating seals the substrate, slows UV-induced aging, and extends overall roof service life before costly structural tear-offs become necessary.

Applying a protective clear acrylic sealer before installing solar arrays stabilizes aging shingles, reinforces surface granules, and provides UV protection to ensure the underlying roof remains sound throughout the service life of the solar equipment.

Packaging options include 5-gallon pails, 55-gallon drums, 180-gallon pallets, and 265-gallon bulk totes, as well as quart sample sizes. This range accommodates independent roofing contractors executing single-family residential projects as well as large-scale commercial restoration contractors requiring volume delivery.
