About Paint and Protective Coatings

Used to insulate, create grips, and color-code components, these coatings resist high temperatures, light abrasion, and corrosion.

Rubber coatings withstand salt and acids. Although primer is not required for use on all materials, it can be used to prepare any surface to maximize the life of the coating. Apply topcoat to give coated surfaces a glossy finish that resists fading.

PVC plastic coatings can be used on nearly any surface, including rubber. They withstand salt, acids, alkalies, and gasoline. They also resist UV light, so they won’t lose their color when exposed to sunlight over long periods of time.

Coatings that cannot be sold outside of the United States do not meet product labeling requirements.

Primers and topcoats cannot be sold outside of the United States due to product regulations.

VOC (Volatile Organic Compounds) regulations restrict sales to the listed jurisdictions/areas.

Reflective Acrylic Coatings for Roofs

Reflect at least 85% of the sun's rays to reduce cooling costs. These coatings also restore and reinforce your roof by filling cracks and forming a water-resistant seal. Apply to a dry surface with a brush, roller, or sprayer.

Primer (sold separately) extends the life of the coating. It’s required for use on bare rubberized and aged asphalt roofs.
