The Garland Company

This two-component, 100% solids, aliphatic polyurea coating contains zero VOCs, is extremely low odor, and cures quickly to form a highly durable, impact and UV-resistant membrane. LiquiTec can also be used as a repair material for maintenance applications and is easily applied by brush, roller and squeegee.

A-125 Metal Roof Primer

Mule-Hide Products Co.

A-125 Metal Roof Primer from Mule-Hide Products Co. is now an even more versatile solution for priming rusted metal roofs prior to coating. It can now be used with both silicone and acrylic roof coatings. The zinc-rich, water-based acrylic primer prepares the roof for the application of a roof coating restoration system, improving adhesion of the finish coats while encapsulating existing surface rust or flash rust and inhibiting the development of new rust. Its light yellow color changes to a darker amber as the primer dries, providing visual confirmation of the level of cure and readiness for application of the top coatings. Visit mulehide.com for more information.

PolyBrite 70-QS and PG 700-QS

Polyglass USA

As we enter the “shoulder season” when weather can be more unpredictable, Polyglass can provide confidence to the applicator to proceed on the days where weather might be different in 30-45 minutes. With Polyglass’ two quick-setting acrylic coatings, PolyBrite 70-QSand PG 700-QS, they provide some resistance to wash-off after as little as 30-40 minutes dry time, which may extend the application season for contractors. PolyBrite 70-QS is our premium acrylic coating. PG 700-QS is our high-quality acrylic coating. Both have excellent physical properties, comprehensive credentials, and code approvals. Some conditions to be considered are temperature, dew, fog, wind and rain. Knowing the appropriate approach to weather conditions makes us the professionals in the coating industry. Visit polyglass.us for more information.
