New product alert! Revolutionizing silicone coating performance

By Dani Sheehan. 

Check out Kool Seal’s newest product, the bleed blocker primer, specifically designed to create a smooth, fully adhered substrate for your silicone coating and improve the performance and durability of the system. 

As a roofing contractor, you are constantly seeking cutting-edge solutions to stand out from your competitors and enhance the performance and longevity of your projects. Kool Seal Reflective Roof Coatings has just introduced a game-changer to their product line to help you keep your edge. The Kool Seal® Bleed Blocker Primer is a high-performance waterborne epoxy designed to complement the Tundra silicone coating, offering roofing professionals another great tool to elevate the quality of their work. 

The Bleed Blocker Primer is formulated to address a specific challenge in the roofing industry – bleed-through over asphaltic substrates when applying silicone coatings. In a recent episode of Roofing Road Trips®, Chris Underwood and Jamie Atkins from Kool Seal and Uniflex® emphasize the significance of this innovation. The chemistry of silicone tends to pull in oils from asphalt, resulting in discoloration over time. The Bleed Blocker Primer steps in to prevent this issue, ensuring a pristine appearance and extending the life of the silicone coating. 

Key features and benefits of the bleed blocker include its ability to reduce bleed-through, prepare surfaces for silicone coatings and promote adhesion. It’s recommended for all types of asphaltic surfaces, making it a versatile and indispensable addition to a roofing contractor’s toolkit. 

As Chris Underwood explains, the primer offers more than just aesthetics. It also adds an extra layer of protection to the substrate. The strong inter-coat adhesion between the primer and silicone coating ensures excellent performance, especially on built-up APP and SBS roofing systems. 

This product has been launched under both the Uniflex and Kool Seal brands, giving you access to a reliable solution that optimizes the full coating system. Invest in this groundbreaking primer to enhance adhesion, mitigate bleed-through and ensure the longevity of your silicone roof coating projects.
