Acrylic Roof Coating

This option is traditionally developed to assist in extending the life of the coating and improve its durability and also contains numerous types of acrylic polymer. Though acrylic roof coatings are normally used as whit e reflective coatings, they are available in a variety of colors. This is one of the top choices for many contractors throughout the industry because of the durability and low cost.

Asphalt Emulsions

These coating are emulsified asphalt and contain several types of inorganic and/or organic fillers and fibers that helps to provide additional strength to the coating. Asphalt emulsions can be found in black, brown, or as a reflective coating when you add aluminum pigments or titanium dioxide.

When you add solvents and a catalyst to a silicone base, you get silicone coatings. These types of coatings are considered ecological because silicone is an all natural material. Along with reflective white and translucent, these coatings are available in an array of colors.
