Over Two Decades of Proven Performance


National Coatings Corporation is a leading commercial roofing system manufacturer of durable, energy-efficient and environmentally friendly weatherproofing in service on hundreds of millions of square feet of commercial and industrial roofs and walls. In 1981, Rick Sexauer founded National Coatings to manufacture high-performance AcryShield® coatings focusing the company on providing dedicated service and superior products based on advanced acrylic technology. From entrepreneurial roots, National Coatings now serves Fortune 500 clients in Manufacturing, Warehousing and Distribution, Commercial Property Management, Major Retailing, Entertainment and Hospitality.

Key offerings include: Coating restoration systems for extending the performance lives of asphalt based roofing, single-ply roofing, foam roofing, elastomeric roof coatings and metal roofing. Our reinforced coating membranes provide strength and durability beyond traditional roofing and repair. Premium sprayed polyurethane foam roofing (SPF) systems for re-roofs and new construction offer extra insulation and better slope-to-drain. Wall waterproofing systems using high performance elastomeric wall coatings (EWC's) have excellent color retention, bridge hairline cracks, and boast excellent resistance to dirt pick-up and wind-driven rain. National Coatings provides its market-leading systems under the AcryShield®, AcryLock™, AcryPly®, AcryPly®-D, AcryFlex®, and RenuWall® names.

So Why Are National Coatings' Systems Installed On Buildings at Companies Like Google®, IBM®, Sears®, and Coca Cola®?

Superior Product Performance & Consistent Quality

AcryShield remains the performance standard for durability, ease-of-application and safety. While many newer coating companies promote using leading raw material suppliers, National Coatings has engineered product formulations for over twenty eight years to arrive at a product line that goes well beyond "starting point recipes". Our products have more UV blockers, are richer in performance polymers that provide strength, stretch, adhesion & durability, contain no VOC's & fewer water-sensitive ingredients, and incorporate advanced microbial protection. AcryShield roofing system products meet or exceed rigorous standards set by ASTM, AIA, FM, ICC-ES, UL, ENERGY STAR, CRRC, and LEED. NCC helped champion the transition to ASTM D6083, the standard for a liquid applied acrylic coating used in roofing that provides the marketplace with objective performance criteria.

Technical Innovation

National Coatings takes the lead in improving weatherproofing and durability performance of existing products, and continues to innovate in developing new systems that provide long-term protection and cost savings. Using breakthrough AcryLock Technology, National Coatings has developed a number of products with superior adhesion and waterproofing capabilities. AcryShield A503, with advanced resistance to ponded water and superior adhesion performance over smooth modified bitumen roofs. A502, an EPDM, and TPO recoat that creates lock-and-key bonding with customized AcryShield Commercial Roofing System products. The AcryShield Roof Management System for PVC Roofs which boasts excellent adhesion over new or old PVC roofing, as well as plasticizer blocking capability. National Coatings Cool Roof Systems, with our line of highly reflective earth-tone colors, offer building owners more ways to save energy, improve building comfort and lower roof life-cycle costs.

Industry Leadership & Participation

Among its peers, National Coatings is first in supporting industry associations that promote education & training, professional exchange, and performance standards. Known for leadership surrounding Cool Roof Systems, National Coatings' efforts include contributions to Cool Community programs in Sacramento, Tucson, Salt Lake City and Philadelphia; key input for the California Energy Commission's pioneering Cool Savings Program; and Board participation on the Cool Roof Rating Council (CRRC). National Coatings is also a frequent speaker to property manager, specifier and contractor groups.

Systems Approach to Providing Total Solutions

Over the years, National Coatings has remained committed to offering lasting solutions that protect personnel and property at lower costs over time. National Coatings' "Essential Elements of Successful Weatherproofing Projects" include: comprehensive building inspections coupled with appropriate computer modeling; customized installation specifications; systems based on proven materials that exceed stringent performance requirements; installation by approved contractors with high business standards who demonstrate quality workmanship; appropriate in-progress and post-job monitoring & inspection; suitable preventive maintenance plans; and long-term warranty coverage. Unlike the vast majority of commercial roofing system manufacturers, National Coatings does not just sell products or encourage "painting" of roofs; they offer comprehensive services, full weatherproofing systems, and total solutions.

Saving Money, Safeguarding the Environment...One Roof at a Time

It’s not just a slogan, its National Coatings’ passion and mission. In today’s global economy, businesses must be fast moving, innovative and judicious in spending money. Few companies can afford excess costs associated with roofing and waterproofing. That’s why National Coatings promotes their R.E.A.P. (Roof Energy and Asset Performance) Analysis that provides comprehensive financial analysis of weatherproofing alternatives using novel roof energy and life-cycle cost models. Often a Cool Roofing System is the right technical solution that can save real cash over time. But beyond these bottom line savings, owners help safeguard the local and global environment by cutting energy usage & greenhouse gas emissions, by cooling down hot Urban Heat Islands that increase smog formation & respiratory illness, and by choosing more sustainable systems that avoid premature re-roofs and excess landfill waste.

Roofing repair and wall waterproofing are often major headaches and big costs for commercial building owners and managers. At National Coatings, we take proven technology, our systems approach and provide ways to extend the leak-free lives of roofs and buildings with renewable and more sustainable systems. Along the way, we focus on cutting energy usage, avoiding large capital outlays thereby minimizing life-cycle costs.
