Rub-R-Roof (Silicone)
Rub-R-Roof Silicone is a 100% solid, self-leveling silicone coating that seals, restores, and protects flat commercial roofs. UV-resistant and ponding-water approved.
Rub-R-Roof (Silicone): Self-Leveling, 100% Silicone Roof Protection Built to Last
Commercial flat roofs face some of the harshest conditions in the built environment. Standing water, UV exposure, thermal cycling, and decades of weather can break down even the toughest roof systems. When coatings shrink, crack, or peel away, leaks follow — and a full roof replacement becomes an expensive threat.
Rub-R-Roof (Silicone) is engineered to stop that cycle. This 100% solid, self-leveling silicone roof coating creates a seamless, watertight, highly reflective membrane designed to restore and protect low-slope and flat roofs for years to come. Unlike acrylic and solvent-based coatings, silicone won’t chalk, shrink, or break down under ponding water, making it the ultimate choice for demanding commercial roof environments.
Why Contractors Choose Rub-R-Roof (Silicone)
Rub-R-Roof’s silicone formula offers performance advantages that traditional coatings simply can’t match:
100% Solid Silicone — No Solvents, No Shrinkage
The product book emphasizes Rub-R-Roof’s pure silicone chemistry, which ensures the coating won’t shrink, crack, or degrade as it cures or ages.
Self-Leveling Formula Fills Imperfections
Rub-R-Roof flows smoothly into cracks, gaps, low spots, and surface irregularities — creating a uniform, watertight membrane without extra labor.
Superior UV Resistance
Its bright white finish reflects sunlight and resists UV breakdown, helping reduce rooftop heat gain and improve building energy efficiency.
Ponding-Water Approved
Where acrylic coatings fail, silicone thrives. Rub-R-Roof remains flexible and waterproof even where water collects for long periods.
Multi-Method Application
Roll, spray, or squeegee — the coating’s stable viscosity and high solids content make installation fast and predictable.
What Rub-R-Roof (Silicone) Works On
The technical spec sheet shows Rub-R-Roof (Silicone) is compatible with a wide variety of commercial roofing systems, making it ideal for restorative coatings:
Spray-Applied Polyurethane Foam (SPF)
EPDM (after aggressive cleaning)
Aged PVC
Aged acrylic coatings
Concrete roofs
Asphalt BUR (with bleed-block primer)
Granulated & smooth modified bitumen
Metal roofs (rust prep required)
TPO (with compatible primer)
This flexibility makes Rub-R-Roof a universal solution for contractors restoring aging roof systems.
How Rub-R-Roof (Silicone) Works
1. Moisture-Cure Silicone Formula
Rub-R-Roof cures by absorbing moisture from the air and substrate — speeding up cure time in humid conditions.
2. Self-Leveling Application
The 100% silicone body flows into low areas and imperfections, creating a smooth membrane that doesn’t require excessive back-rolling.
3. Seamless Waterproof Layer
Once cured, Rub-R-Roof forms an elastomeric film that moves with the building while resisting cracks, UV damage, and standing water.
4. Reflective Cool Roof Finish
With an initial reflectivity of 0.84 and aged reflectivity of 0.71, Rub-R-Roof supports energy-efficient building envelopes.
Technical Performance You Can Trust
Every batch of Rub-R-Roof is ASTM-tested to guarantee high performance. From the silicone spec sheet:
Solids by Volume: 95%
Dry Film Build: 15.2 mils per gallon
Tensile Strength: 200 psi
Elongation: 250%
Tear Strength: >20 lbf/in
Permeance: 5.7 perms (breathable)
Emissivity: 0.91
SRI (Solar Reflectance Index): 106
VOC: <25 g/L
These metrics make Rub-R-Roof ideal for hot climates, wet climates, and energy-efficient building applications.
Rub-R-Roof vs. Traditional Roof Replacement
Feature | Rub-R-Roof (Silicone) | Full Roof Tear-Off |
|---|---|---|
Cost | Much lower | Very high |
Speed | Quick application | Multi-day to multi-week |
Disruption | Minimal | Major downtime |
Waste | Almost none | Large landfill output |
Ponding Resistance | Excellent | Depends on roof design |
UV Resistance | High | Varies by system |
Most building owners choose Rub-R-Roof because it allows them to restore instead of replace, saving both time and money.
Ideal Applications
Rub-R-Roof is perfect for:
Commercial and industrial flat roofs
Warehouses and distribution centers
Schools, hospitals, and government buildings
Retail centers and office buildings
HOA and multifamily roofing systems
Facilities needing long-term ponding water resistance
If the roof is structurally sound but leaking, chalking, or weathered, Rub-R-Roof is the solution.
The Bottom Line: Silicone Roof Protection That Performs for Decades
Rub-R-Roof (Silicone) is engineered for contractors and building owners who want durability, reflectivity, and long-term waterproofing without the cost of a full replacement.
100% solid silicone
No shrinkage
UV and ponding water resistant
Self-leveling
Bonds to almost any commercial substrate
Creates a long-lasting, seamless barrier
