National Coatings Products Provided NASA with the Durability Engineers Needed to Successfully Launch the Ares I-X Rocket

CAMARILLO, Calif. - National Coatings was part of a successful rocket test flight, NASA's first new rocket in nearly 30 years, because they used sustainable and highly reflective AcryShield and RustShield products. The highly durable roof coatings were chosen by NASA`s engineers due to the coatings' ability to shield against rust, maintaining the exterior's integrity of the rocket while it passes through the salty ocean air. National Coatings` products were also chosen because of their proven ability to highly reflect sunlight and UV rays, protecting the rocket`s essential components from overheating.

"We are very proud to be part of this successful rocket launch. Not many companies get to participate in space endeavors and contribute to NASA's
success," says Matt Kolb, President of National Coatings Corporation.

National Coatings, known for their Performance through Innovation, has successfully maintained their proven ability to outshine all other roof
coatings, not only in the roofing industry, but by NASA too.
