For One Tough Roof.

Who can afford to take chances? Benchmark® acrylic elastomeric coating combines the performance of urethane with the benefits of acrylic to create a roofing membrane that lasts. This premium product provides the toughest protection available. Benchmark® consists of a blue base coat and an energy efficient white top coat.

Features:
• Environmentally friendly 100 percent acrylic polymers
• Seamless waterproof membrane completely protects substrate
• Generates substantial cooling savings
(85 percent reflectivity)
• VOC compliant
• Durable finish improves dirt resistance
• Withstands temperature extremes
• Easy Application saves you time
• Saves money by lowering cooling costs

The Toughness Factor
Only Benchmark® measures combined tensile strength and elongation. Benchmark demonstrates superiority in both factors – making Benchmark’s toughness rating three to six times that of it nearest competitors! With superior tensile strength and elongation, Benchmark can withstand the expansion and contraction caused by temperature extremes without creeping, cracking or peeling.

Most other acrylic roofing products on the market today can’t match Benchmark® acrylic coating for its performance in extreme summer heat, below-freezing winter temperatures, and freeze/thaw conditions. After 24 months exposure in south Florida, direct inland, 45 degrees south, Benchmark is rated very good for general appearance and dirt resistance by an independent research service.
