MuleHide

Acrylic finish coats from MuleHide extend the lives of low-slope roofs, providing a seamless, waterproof and weathertight layer of protection that stands up to the elements. Part of MuleHide’s acrylic roof coating system, they can also dramatically lower rooftop temperatures, reducing cooling costs. A-310 Finish and A-300 Finish are compatible with a wide variety of common roof substrates. A-310 is also ideally suited for use on sprayed polyurethane foam (SPF), employing a highly flexible acrylic polymer that accommodates the thermal expansion and contraction of SPF roofs. Both finish coats resist dirt pick-up to maintain the roof’s aesthetics and energy efficiency after weathering. For more information, visit mulehide.com.
