Shingle Coat Primer is a professional-grade, water-based asphalt shingle roof primer designed for roof restoration and recoating projects. It prepares asphalt shingle roofs by improving surface adhesion and helping roof coatings bond evenly and perform over time.

This primer uses a durable styrene-butadiene (SBR) polymer to create a strong bond between the roof surface and the coating system. It helps stabilize aged shingles and provides a consistent base for roof coatings. This improves coating coverage, adhesion, and long-term durability.

Shingle Coat Primer features a low-odor, non-flammable formula, making it safer to apply on residential and commercial roofs. Contractors and property owners can use it with confidence in occupied buildings and sensitive environments. The water-based formula also makes handling and cleanup easier than with solvent-based primers.

Use Shingle Coat Primer as the foundation for NuTech Paint roof coating systems. When used as part of a complete roof restoration system, it helps extend roof life, reduce maintenance needs, and improve coating performance. It is suitable for asphalt shingle roofs on homes, apartments, and light commercial buildings.

This asphalt shingle primer plays a key role in roof preparation before applying protective roof coatings. Proper priming helps ensure consistent results and supports long-lasting restoration outcomes. Technical data, application guidance, and safety information are available in the product SDS.

Note: Coverage rates, dry/recoat times, and system compatibility should be taken from the product TDS or system application guide (add when available).

  1. Preparation: Substrate must be clean, dry, and sound. Remove dust, oxidation, oil, biological growth, and loose material. Repair defects before priming.

  2. Mixing: Stir slowly until uniform. Do not entrain air.

  3. Application: Apply by roller, brush, or suitable airless spray per system guidance.

  4. Environmental conditions: Apply only in suitable weather; do not apply if rain is imminent or if substrate is wet.

  5. Recoating & film build: Follow system TDS for spread rate and recoat timing.

  6. Cleanup: Clean tools with water while wet.

Always follow the full system TDS once finalized (insert project-specific spread rates and dry/recoat windows there).

  • Allow the full coating system to cure as specified before service.

  • Keep the roof free of debris and standing water; maintain gutters and downspouts.

  • Periodically inspect high-wear and ponding areas; touch up per system guidance.

  • Water-based, non-flammable formulation

  • Low odor; easy water cleanup

  • SBR polymer for adhesion support

  • Low VOC content

  • White primer color to assist topcoat uniformity

  • Not classified as Dangerous Goods for transport

  • Hazard statement: Harmful to aquatic life with long-lasting effects.

  • Contains isothiazolinones: May cause an allergic skin reaction.

  • Precautions: Keep out of reach of children; read and follow all instructions; avoid release to the environment; dispose of contents/container in accordance with local regulations.

  • For first aid, PPE, spill response, and full regulatory notes, consult the Safety Data Sheet (SDS).
