The AcryShield Roof Management (ARM) System is ideal for preserving your TPO roof, while avoiding a roof replacement. The ARM System for TPO was designed to eliminate any priming or etching rinse stages; therefore, saving the contractor time and the building owner money.
When preserving a TPO roof, you will need these 3 flat roof materials:
- AcryShield A502 Base Coat – The A502 was specifically formulated for tenaciously adhering directly to TPO. This roof coating allows you to eliminate priming the entire roof substrate before installation begins.
- Customized Local Reinforcement – High-tensile strength polyester reinforcing fabrics add superior strength and long term durability to localized areas on the roof that need extra care.
- AcryShield Top Coat – The AcryShield top coat you choose can range from our standard elastomeric coating, which provides longevity and brightness with superior dirt pick-up resistance and protection against biological attach, such as algae; to our high performance top coats, that specialize in extra foot traffic and physical abuse protection, ultra high reflectance or fast setting coatings to resist early wash-off associated with light rain and heavy dew. Most these coatings also exceed all ASTM D6083 requirements and also offer excellent tensile strength, elongation and wet adhesion. Contact us for more information 800-423-9557.
Installing an ARM System to lengthen the life of your existing TPO roof is non-disruptive to the work environment and provides ease of application with only 3 installation steps. Depending on the top coat chosen for your project, you can get a roofing system with ZERO VOC’s, otherwise, all the ARM Systems for TPO contain ultra low VOC’s which means there are no harmful or strong odors. Installation is spray applied, creating a monolithic roofing membrane, which is custom tailored to your roofs particular needs and there is no disruptive drilling, nailing or seam welding involved. Your building is able to remain open for business as usual!
When choosing an AcryShield Roof Management System, you are selecting flat roof materials that will protect and extend the lifespan of your aged, leaking TPO roof. You get superior durability and performance with our AcryShield base and top coats with an added benefit of gaining a highly reflective roof substrate which allows you to lower energy usage and consumption – saving you money. The ARM System also lowers roof maintenance costs and increases weatherproofing benefits that allow you to lower the total life-cycle costs of your building.

It is always best to be proactive in regards to fixing and restoring your commercial roof; however, this does not always happen because the roof is “out of sight, out of mind” making it easily the most skipped over element in properly maintaining a building.
While TPO single ply membrane roofing has been around for over 20 years now in the United States, TPO roof replacement is now in full swing for these systems that were installed originally as their anticipated life span has now reached that point where they need to be replaced. The capital expenditure for this process can be overwhelming. National Coatings (NCC) once again as with other single ply membranes prior to these TPO systems developed a base coat and finish coat for this particular membrane’s chemical make-up. In 2006, NCC developed a base coat with self-priming characteristics that eliminate the need for additional primers or etching rinses while exhibiting a tenacious adhesion for both the TPO membrane and the marriage of the finish coat application. This eliminates the necessary additional steps that other manufacturers require which is an added cost in material as well as labor.
