Acrylic vs Silicone Coatings
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
