What can I use Shieldcoat’s Roofbond system on?
Shieldcoat’s Roofbond and Flexible Pointing system uses an all acrylic binder specifically recommended for new cement tile, terracotta tile, Colorbond and corrugated iron roofs and roof refurbishment applications such as existing cement tile, terracotta tile, asbestos, corrugated iron, cliplock and Colorbond roofs.

How good is Shieldcoat’s Roofbond system?
It is manufactured in Australia specifically for our unique and demanding climate.
Shieldcoat has chosen the best high quality resin available on the market for this product. The criteria for Shieldcoat’s choice is based on the resin’s characteristics including durability, wet adhesion properties, gloss retention, low dirt pick up, low water sensitivity and through dry capabilities.
The resin chosen is also a highly UV resistant pure acrylic technology which has been an industry bench mark for adhesion and colour retention for over 25 years. Its
durability and performance have been proven over many harsh Australian seasons. Whilst its cost is premium, it will always remain Shieldcoat’s choice because of its quality and consistency.
The level of binder (resin) used in this formulation has been chosen to provide excellent through film build for a sound quality finish. The resin has enhanced wet adhesion and excellent fast through dry properties. The product has proven itself in the area of dry hold down, especially in high wind areas such as Australia’s eastern seaboard.

What are some other key features?
The product conforms to CSIRO AS2050 appendix F to a C3 rating.
Some key features and benefits of Roofbond’s unique formulation are:
1. Excellent exterior durability
2. Good water resistance
3. Fast hardness development
4. Excellent resistance to water whitening (blanching)
5. Enhanced wet adhesion properties.
6. Solid dry hold down
7. Very easy trowel application and fine finish.
Shieldcoat’s commitment to consistent quality means that even their colours are produced in the factory to their own rigid requirements. Bayer pigments have been chosen for their durability and all are listed as 8 on a scale of 1-8 (ratings for Xenotest exposure. Grading = 1 poor, 8 = excellent). This control over the entire production means that Shieldcoat is able to produce colours specific to customer requirements.
