Elastomeric Roof Coating on Asphalt Shingles

Formulations like ShinglEx 800 create a durable waterborne acrylic film across weathered shingles. In laboratory testing by PRI Asphalt Technologies, this system demonstrated 88% less granule loss, binding loose granules to the asphalt substrate and defending the roof surface against sun-induced weathering.

These water-based coatings can be applied using an airless sprayer, roller, or brush. For spray applications, high-pressure equipment such as an airless sprayer operating at 3,000 PSI or higher is compatible with SolarEx 300, allowing contractors to cover broad surface areas efficiently.

Yes. While reflective coatings are available in high-reflectivity white, products like ShinglEx 800 are offered in multiple colors including Clear, Black, Gray, Brown, Red, Green, and custom options. ElastEx 200 and SolarEx 300 also feature color matching via a 1,020-color fan deck.

Cure rates depend on the specific product and environmental conditions. For instance, SealEx 100 achieves a skin-over state within 4 to 6 hours and cures completely within 24 hours under normal application conditions, forming a flexible, seamless waterproof membrane.

Yes, high-elongation basecoats like SealEx 100 and ElastEx 200 are designed to function either standalone or as flexible elastomeric undercoats beneath topcoats such as SolarEx 300, creating an integrated waterproof and UV-reflective membrane system.

SolarEx coatings are packaged in various sizes to suit different job scopes, including 5-gallon pails for smaller residential repairs, 55-gallon drums for mid-sized projects, and 180-gallon pallets or 265-gallon bulk totes for large-scale commercial contractor work.
