Acrylic vs Silicone Coatings: Why is Silicone the right choice?

SUPERIOR PERFORMANCE

As a water-based product, acrylic elastomeric roof coatings are very limited in benefits. Their longer cure times, risk of wash-off, need for multiple coats and full roof reinforcements can’t compare to the superiority of a silicone based product.

SINGLE COAT APPLICATION

• 40% Higher Solids Content

• High-build capacity (40+mils in one coat)

SIGNIFICANTLY LOWER LABOR COSTS

• In most cases, no primer coat is needed

• Single coat application

• Less reinforcement needed

SAFE FOR THE ENVIRONMENT

• Solvent Free Low VOC

SUPERIOR UV STABILITY & PERFORMANCE

• Silicone based

• Maintains adhesion under normal ponding water

• Will not chalk, degrade or haze from UV exposure

EASY TO USE

• Faster cure time

• Moisture cure product (humidity is a plus)

• Fully cures even in cooler temperatures

• Extends the roofing season into spring & fall

• No risk of wash-off
