How this product family fits

The base coat wets and carries reinforcement through the roof assembly.

Metacrylics acrylic base coats are used in specified fabric-reinforced systems. Acrylic Clear Base can also serve as a project-approved universal primer, while Acrylic Gray Base provides a visible embed coat for roof and walking-surface assemblies. The written system controls the correct product and film build.

Common questions

Before choosing a product.

Use these answers to get oriented, then confirm the current TDS, SDS, written system, and project conditions.

What does an acrylic roof base coat do?

In a specified reinforced assembly, the base coat wets and saturates polyester fabric so the reinforcement becomes part of a continuous liquid-applied membrane.

What is the difference between Acrylic Clear Base and Acrylic Gray Base?

Acrylic Clear Base is a self-priming base coat that saturates polyester fabric and can serve as a project-approved universal primer. Acrylic Gray Base is formulated as a visible fabric-saturating base coat for roof and walking-surface systems.

Is a base coat the finished weathering surface?

No. A base coat is an intermediate system layer. The selected roof system identifies the compatible exposed top coat and required coverage.

Where can I find base-coat application rates?

Use the current product data sheet and the written roof-system specification. Surface texture, reinforcement, details, and required film build can change actual material use.
