Clear Waterproof Roof Sealers

Selecting an effective solution depends on substrate compatibility. While specialized tile roofs require compatible elastomeric or penetrating treatments, asphalt shingle roofing benefits from dedicated waterborne acrylic coatings such as ShinglEx 800. These formulations shield surfaces against moisture, slow sun-induced aging through UV protection, and resist mildew growth. Always confirm coating compatibility with your specific roofing substrate before initiating any restoration or sealing project.

Sealing roofing materials is often worthwhile because it extends service life and prevents weathering damage. Sealing compatible surfaces can cost 50 to 80 percent less than full roof replacement. Applying a protective coating bonds surface granules, resists mildew, and provides ultraviolet protection against sun exposure. However, building owners should verify manufacturer guidelines and substrate suitability to ensure the selected sealer delivers long-term adhesion and weather performance.

ShinglEx 800 is engineered specifically for asphalt shingles and asphalt or bituminous roofing surfaces. It is ideal for aging asphalt shingle roofs between 5 and 15 years old that display granule loss or surface dusting. It is also used for pre-solar installation conditioning to establish a clean, UV-protected base. The coating bonds securely to asphalt substrates to help reduce further granule loss.

ShinglEx 800 offers versatile application using standard contractor equipment. It can be applied by spray, roller, or brush depending on the project scope and roof layout. The waterborne acrylic formula cleans up easily compared to oil-based products. Qualifying two-coat systems are eligible for a 7-year material warranty, providing contractors and property owners with a reliable, straightforward application process.

ShinglEx 800 delivers coverage of up to 250 square feet per gallon per coat. Actual coverage rates may vary depending on surface porosity, weathering extent, and application method. For weathered asphalt shingles exhibiting early granule loss, a two-coat application ensures uniform protection, sealing granules tightly to slow down sun-induced aging, resist mildew formation, and extend overall roof durability.

ShinglEx 800 is supplied in various package sizes to accommodate residential jobs and large commercial projects. Available packaging includes quart samples, 4 to 5 gallon pails, 55 gallon drums, 180 gallon bulk pallets, and 265 gallon totes. This range enables residential roofers, commercial restoration contractors, and building supply distributors to order precise volumes tailored to their specific job requirements.
