Looking for a white roof coating, but not sure where to find what you need? Are you new to using roof coatings and want to compare products to ensure you are using them appropriately? Uniflex® provides a variety of products that will reflect the sun, keeping the roof system safe from ultra-violet radiation damage while improving the energy efficiency of the building. Compare and contrast these white roof coatings to ensure your customers get the right protection for their buildings. 

• Premium White Elastomeric Finish and Premium Elastomeric Roof Coatings: These products are 100% acrylic polymer and provide exceptional adhesion and reflectivity on metal, PVC, concrete, granular cap sheets and other approved surfaces. Their formulas resist cracking and peeling, making them one of the best waterproofing options and the bright finish helps reduce surface temperatures to lower energy costs. The Uniflex® Premium Elastomeric Tint Bases can also be custom matched or shaded to the SherColor Palette. 
• Silicone44™ and Silicone22™ Low Solid Rubberized Silicone roof white coatings: Working in a rainy climate where most flat roofs end up with water ponding? These products provide the ultimate protection. While they cannot be used on roof shingles, they are recommended for a variety of other roof systems including existing asphaltic and elastomeric roof coatings. You’ll need an adhesion pull test on most substrates to help determine if primers are needed before application. The Silicone44™ product is especially beneficial for projects requiring very low volatile organic compounds (VOCs).  
• Commercial Grade White Elastomeric Finish Coat: This option offers both great performance and value. With excellent waterproofing capabilities, building owners won’t need to worry about leaks, no matter how large the storm. It not only provides a reduction of surface temperature with its white color, but under-the-roof temperatures are also reduced, improving the energy efficiency of the building. 
• COOLMAX41™ Hi–Build White Elastomeric Finish Coat: Best for desert climate conditions, this coating is high-performing and will help extend the life of a roof. Offering great protection against the sun’s heat and UV radiation, it also provides great weatherability, being resistant to dirt pickup and having excellent flexibility for normal expansion and contraction of the roof.
