Offer Your Customers the Ultimate Roof Algae Protection from 3M 

Close more jobs by giving your homeowners the best roof algae protection with shingles that are manufactured with Scotchgard™ Protector.

The last thing a homeowner wants is to spend thousands of dollars on a brand new, beautiful shingle roof just to have black streaks appear after a few years. With the roof making up 40 percent of a home’s curb appeal, an algae-plagued roof can really bring the value of a home down, leading to unhappy customers.

Shingles with Scotchgard™ Algae Resistant Shingle Protector from 3M help protect against the black streaks caused by algae for up to 20 years. Scotchgard Protector uses 3M copper containing roofing granules to help prevent those black streaks on roofs, helping to maintain the roof’s clean appearance and preserve the beauty of the home.

The Scotchgard Protector logo found on quality shingle brands assures that protection against the black streaks caused by algae is in place. 3M science proves that appropriate copper ion coverage helps reduce the risk of black streaks caused by algae—this is at the heart of the Scotchgard Protector promise.

Only certain shingle manufacturers feature shingles with Scotchgard™ Protector; these shingles deliver effective protection against the black streaks caused by algae.

Shingles with Scotchgard Protector feature: 

• A minimum 10% blend of copper containing granules incorporated uniformly across the shingle surface. 3M science shows that a minimum 10% blend helps ensure effective copper ion coverage, keeping those black streaks off the roof in a variety of climates.
• Uniform distribution of copper containing granules on the shingle and the hip and ridge. Algae can get established if there are gaps in copper ion coverage. Combining the 10% blend of copper granules with uniform distribution are key and reduce the possibility of copper ion coverage gaps.
• Tested by a third-party laboratory. Every run of quality shingles, featuring Scotchgard™ Protector, are tested by a third-party laboratory helping to ensure a minimum 10% blend of copper granules, uniformly distributed across the shingle.

That’s the power of the Scotchgard Brand. A brand promise you can trust! Learn more about how becoming a Scotchgard Protector Shingle Sales Specialist can help you close more sales!
