Technical Data Sheet

Shingle Shield Max™ is a professional-grade, water-based roof preservation coating formulated for direct application to eligible asphalt shingles. The proprietary PosiCoat™ resin system penetrates and anchors to the shingle surface, then cures into a clear, breathable, flexible, hydrophobic film. The cured film improves water resistance, helps reduce granule erosion, and provides resistance to ultraviolet exposure, thermal cycling, microbial growth, and environmental wear.

• Residential and commercial asphalt-shingle roofing systems that are structurally sound, serviceable, sloped, and capable of positive drainage.
• Preventive maintenance and roof-preservation applications on eligible asphalt shingles.
• Do not apply to flat roofs, unsuitable low-slope roofs, roofs that hold or pond water, or surfaces without positive drainage.
• Not intended for excessively deteriorated, structurally unsound, leaking, or end-of-service-life roofs.
• Not intended as a substitute for required repairs or roof replacement.

• Clear, low-gloss finish with a light sheen that does not materially alter the underlying shingle color.
• Helps reduce granule loss and surface erosion.
• Provides an added water-resistant protective layer while remaining breathable.
• UV stable and non-yellowing.
• Helps resist mold and mildew growth on the cured film.
• Cured film flexes with normal substrate movement; it does not restore flexibility to aged shingles.
• Provides added resistance to impact and windborne debris; it is not represented as preventing all hail damage.
• Water-based, low VOC, non-flammable, and VOC compliant in all 50 states and Canada.
• Cured surface may be maintained using compatible mild detergents and appropriate low-pressure cleaning methods.

Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area. Keep containers tightly closed and away from direct sunlight, extreme heat, sparks, open flame, and oxidizing materials. Keep out of reach of children. If the product appears hardened, irreversibly separated, contaminated, or otherwise abnormal, contact Vital Coat before use.

• Cover or relocate vehicles, patio furniture, windows, siding, landscaping, pools, decks, and other property within the potential drift zone.
• Mask and isolate solar panels, skylights, roof-mounted HVAC equipment, mechanical ventilation systems, intake fans, and compressor coils.
• Use drop cloths below roof edges and use cardboard shields, spray guards, or edging tools where needed.
• Avoid heavy passes near eaves and roof perimeters that could cause runoff over fascia, gutters, soffits, patios, or personal property.
• Establish a protected staging and loading station using heavy plastic sheeting or containment trays. Do not load sprayers over unprotected driveways, patios, decks, or sidewalks.
• Keep as much product and equipment as practical contained within the trailer or utility vehicle.
• Do not flush or clean equipment near landscaping, lawns, gardens, drains, paved surfaces, or customer property.

Application equipment

The contractor may select a cleaner compatible with the application equipment and its components. Thoroughly remove cleaner residue and allow cleaned components to dry before introducing Shingle Shield Max. Do not allow sodium hypochlorite, bleach, detergent, solvent, or other cleaner residue to contaminate the coating. Once cured in equipment, the coating may require mechanical removal.

Wet spills, drips, or overspray

Act immediately. Saturate the affected area with clean water and wipe with a clean, wet cloth. Repeat rinsing while the product remains wet. Hot, soapy water may be used on compatible surfaces. Once cured, the coating becomes extremely difficult or impossible to remove from some surfaces.

Cured material and acetone

Cured spots on compatible, untinted glass may be carefully removed with an appropriate flat-bladed window scraper held at a shallow angle. Do not use metal blades on tinted glass or plastic windows.

• Inspect the roof twice each year and after major storms, high winds, hail, or heavy debris impact.
• Keep valleys, gutters, and downspouts free of leaves, pine needles, moss, and other organic debris.
• Trim branches that touch or overhang the roof and address pest access.
• Repair loose tabs, damaged shingles, failed caulking, and flashing defects promptly.
• Treat early organic growth using a compatible, non-acidic roof cleaner and appropriate low-pressure methods.
• Keep ridge, soffit, and static roof vents clear and operational.
• Use guarded, non-metallic snow-removal tools where snow removal is necessary. Do not scrape the coating or granule surface.
• Never use high-pressure washing, abrasive mechanical cleaning, or harsh stripping agents on the treated roof.

Read and follow the current Safety Data Sheet and container label before handling, mixing, or applying this product. Authorized Installers are responsible for their workplace-safety programs, employee training, fall protection, and compliance with applicable laws and regulations.

• Wear chemical-resistant safety goggles or a face shield, protective gloves, long sleeves, and other PPE appropriate to the work.
• Use OSHA-compliant fall protection and safe roof-access practices.
• Maintain a clean, organized, adequately ventilated work and staging area.
• Keep children, pets, and unauthorized persons away from the work area.
• Use extreme caution on treated surfaces, which can become slippery when wet.
