SHINGLETON GUARD™

TECHNICAL DATA SHEET

Professional-Grade Asphalt Shingle Preservation Coating

PROFESSIONAL USE This product is intended for application by trained professional contractors. Read this Technical Data Sheet, the product label, and the current Safety Data Sheet before handling or application.

WARRANTY AVAILABILITY Product suitability and warranty eligibility are separate. The Shingleton Guard Five-Year Prorated Limited Product Adhesion Warranty applies only to qualifying, timely registered residential installations completed by a Shingleton Guard Installer. The Warranty covers one required coat, is issued only to the original registered Homeowner, and is not transferable. Registration and claims are administered through the Shingleton Guard Member Portal.

1. Product Description

Shingleton Guard™ is a professional-grade, water-based roof-preservation coating formulated for direct application to eligible asphalt shingles. The proprietary system bonds 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.

Shingleton Guard is a preventive maintenance product. It is not a roof-repair product, does not stop active leaks, does not correct structural defects, and does not restore flexibility that has already been lost from aged shingles.

2. Recommended Use

• 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.

• Do not apply to structurally unsound or actively leaking roofs.

• Not intended as a substitute for required repairs or roof replacement.

Treatment of Deteriorated Roofs

A deteriorated but non-leaking asphalt-shingle roof may be treated as a temporary, non-warranted application when the roof remains structurally stable, required repairs are completed, and the surface can be safely prepared and treated. This use does not qualify for the Shingleton Guard product warranty, does not eliminate eventual roof replacement, and does not guarantee any specific additional service life. Document the existing condition and obtain the property owner’s written acknowledgment before application.

3. Features and Performance Characteristics

• 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 hail, storm, wind, or impact 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.

4. Packaging, Storage, and Shelf Life

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.

5. Technical Information

6. Surface Assessment and Preparation

Initial Roof Assessment

• Perform a comprehensive roof inspection to confirm that the roof and shingles are structurally sound, serviceable, and appropriate for treatment.

• Repair all active leaks, loose or missing shingles, flashing defects, penetrations, exposed fasteners, and structural defects before application.

• Confirm that the roof is sloped, drains positively, and does not retain or pond water.

• Verify with the shingle manufacturer whether application could affect any existing shingle warranty.

• Classify a deteriorated roof correctly as warranted, repair-before-warranty, non-warranted treatment, or do not treat.

Cleaning and Preparation

• The roof must be completely clean and free of loose debris, active organic growth, moss, lichen, mold, mildew, oils, prior water repellents, and contaminants that could interfere with penetration or adhesion.

• The professional contractor may select a shingle-compatible cleaning solution and method. Industry-standard low-pressure cleaning is recommended to reduce unnecessary granule loss.

• All cleaning solutions must be thoroughly rinsed from the roof. Residual sodium hypochlorite, bleach, detergent, or other cleaning chemicals may negatively affect adhesion, appearance, and coating performance.

• The roof must be completely dry before application. Damp substrates can cause haze, blushing, poor absorption, or loss of adhesion.

MANDATORY TEST AREA Before full application, apply Shingleton Guard to a small, inconspicuous area. Confirm satisfactory absorption, adhesion, drying, and visual appearance before proceeding.

7. Application Conditions

Temperatures outside the optimal range can change working time, drying, and cure development. Warmer conditions generally accelerate drying; cooler conditions slow drying and cure.

8. Product Preparation and Application

Product Preparation

• Do not dilute.

• Stir thoroughly before use to ensure uniform consistency.

• Use professional spray equipment capable of maintaining consistent pressure and a uniform pattern. Tip selection, orifice size, and spray pattern remain the Shingleton Guard Installer’s responsibility based on equipment and roof profile.

Application Technique

Begin at the lowest point of the roof and work upward. This allows incidental runs to move downhill onto material that is still wet, helping the coating blend and reducing visible shading caused by different drying rates.

Hold the spray tip approximately 8–10 inches from the surface, adjusting as needed for the equipment and roof profile.

Spray parallel to the horizontal shingle lines using steady, even strokes across manageable sections.

Maintain approximately 20% overlap between passes. Do not stall or slow at the turn of the stroke, which can cause buildup, puddles, or runs.

Maintain constant pressure. Stop and correct equipment that drips, splatters, leaks, or produces an uneven pattern. Inspect, clean, or replace worn and partially clogged tips immediately.

Continue upward to a natural stopping point. Start the next section at the low side and blend it into the active wet edge of the previous section.

Back-roll overspray only when necessary to correct localized excess and achieve a uniform appearance.

Shingle-Edge Application and Tip Angle

Adjust the spray-wand angle as needed to coat and seal the exposed lower edge of each overlapping shingle where that edge contacts the underlying shingle. Use a shallow upward angle that directs Product toward the exposed edge and contact line. Apply enough Product to wet and seal the accessible edge interface without lifting the shingle, disturbing its position, or creating excessive buildup and runoff.

This edge-sealing technique should be used throughout the application to improve coverage at shingle overlaps and reduce untreated shadow lines. When properly performed, sealing the exposed shingle-edge interface may also help reduce water movement beneath shingle edges during conditions associated with ice damming. This technique does not eliminate the need for proper roof drainage, flashing, attic insulation, ventilation, snow management, or correction of existing roofing defects.

ICE-DAM LIMITATION Shingleton Guard is not an ice-dam prevention system and does not guarantee prevention of ice dams, backed-up water, roof leaks, or water intrusion. Ice dams are affected by roof design, insulation, ventilation, weather, snow accumulation, drainage, and existing roof conditions. Ice-dam and water-intrusion damage are not covered unless expressly stated in the written Shingleton Guard Warranty.

9. Coverage and Optional Second Coat

Coverage rates are based on standard three-tab asphalt shingles. Architectural shingles, irregular textures, degraded profiles, or highly absorptive surfaces may require additional material. Actual usage must be monitored during application.

Optional Second-Coat Procedure

• Allow the required coat to dry for at least 30 minutes before recoating.

• At 77°F and 50% relative humidity, the recommended recoat window is approximately 30 minutes to 2 hours.

• Apply the optional second coat at approximately 300–450 square feet per gallon.

• Apply parallel to the shingle lines and offset the second-coat passes from the first-coat pattern edges to reduce visible spray transitions.

• Maintain a controlled wet edge and avoid buildup, puddling, or runs.

• Environmental conditions may change the appropriate recoat time.

The optional second coat is not required for warranty eligibility, does not correct an improperly applied required coat, does not expand or extend the written Warranty, and does not create a separate warranty.

10. Drying and Cure

CURE PROTECTION Dry to the touch does not mean fully cured. Do not apply when rain is expected within 24 hours. Protect the treated surface from rain, dew, heavy condensation, added water, debris, and unnecessary foot traffic during initial curing.

11. Property Protection and Overspray Control

• 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 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.

12. Cleanup and Accidental Exposure

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 Shingleton Guard. 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. Contain the affected area and prevent Product or wash water from reaching drains, soil, landscaping, pools, streets, or neighboring property. Rinse compatible surfaces with clean water and wipe with a clean, wet cloth while the Product remains wet. Hot, soapy water may be used on compatible surfaces. Manage contaminated water and waste appropriately. 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.

ACETONE WARNING Acetone may dissolve dried or stubborn coating, but it can melt plastics, dissolve paint, damage vehicle finishes, and strip factory coatings from siding, trim, and other personal property. Review the acetone label and SDS, eliminate ignition sources, test a small inconspicuous area, and wait to observe any reaction. Use sparingly. When compatibility is uncertain, do not use acetone.

13. Roof Care and Maintenance

• 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.

• Use a compatible mild detergent when cleaning is needed and rinse thoroughly. Engage an appropriately qualified professional when roof access, condition, or local requirements warrant it.

14. Health and Safety

Read and follow the current Safety Data Sheet and container label before handling, or applying this Product. Shingleton Guard 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.

5. Technical Information

6. Surface Assessment and Preparation

Initial Roof Assessment

• Perform a comprehensive roof inspection to confirm that the roof and shingles are structurally sound, serviceable, and appropriate for treatment.

• Repair all active leaks, loose or missing shingles, flashing defects, penetrations, exposed fasteners, and structural defects before application.

• Confirm that the roof is sloped, drains positively, and does not retain or pond water.

• Verify with the shingle manufacturer whether application could affect any existing shingle warranty.

• Classify a deteriorated roof correctly as warranted, repair-before-warranty, non-warranted treatment, or do not treat.

Cleaning and Preparation

• The roof must be completely clean and free of loose debris, active organic growth, moss, lichen, mold, mildew, oils, prior water repellents, and contaminants that could interfere with penetration or adhesion.

• The professional contractor may select a shingle-compatible cleaning solution and method. Industry-standard low-pressure cleaning is recommended to reduce unnecessary granule loss.

• All cleaning solutions must be thoroughly rinsed from the roof. Residual sodium hypochlorite, bleach, detergent, or other cleaning chemicals may negatively affect adhesion, appearance, and coating performance.

• The roof must be completely dry before application. Damp substrates can cause haze, blushing, poor absorption, or loss of adhesion.

MANDATORY TEST AREA Before full application, apply Shingleton Guard to a small, inconspicuous area. Confirm satisfactory absorption, adhesion, drying, and visual appearance before proceeding.

7. Application Conditions

Temperatures outside the optimal range can change working time, drying, and cure development. Warmer conditions generally accelerate drying; cooler conditions slow drying and cure.

8. Product Preparation and Application

Product Preparation

• Do not dilute.

• Stir thoroughly before use to ensure uniform consistency.

• Use professional spray equipment capable of maintaining consistent pressure and a uniform pattern. Tip selection, orifice size, and spray pattern remain the Shingleton Guard Installer’s responsibility based on equipment and roof profile.

Application Technique

Begin at the lowest point of the roof and work upward. This allows incidental runs to move downhill onto material that is still wet, helping the coating blend and reducing visible shading caused by different drying rates.

Hold the spray tip approximately 8–10 inches from the surface, adjusting as needed for the equipment and roof profile.

Spray parallel to the horizontal shingle lines using steady, even strokes across manageable sections.

Maintain approximately 20% overlap between passes. Do not stall or slow at the turn of the stroke, which can cause buildup, puddles, or runs.

Maintain constant pressure. Stop and correct equipment that drips, splatters, leaks, or produces an uneven pattern. Inspect, clean, or replace worn and partially clogged tips immediately.

Continue upward to a natural stopping point. Start the next section at the low side and blend it into the active wet edge of the previous section.

Back-roll overspray only when necessary to correct localized excess and achieve a uniform appearance.

Shingle-Edge Application and Tip Angle

Adjust the spray-wand angle as needed to coat and seal the exposed lower edge of each overlapping shingle where that edge contacts the underlying shingle. Use a shallow upward angle that directs Product toward the exposed edge and contact line. Apply enough Product to wet and seal the accessible edge interface without lifting the shingle, disturbing its position, or creating excessive buildup and runoff.

This edge-sealing technique should be used throughout the application to improve coverage at shingle overlaps and reduce untreated shadow lines. When properly performed, sealing the exposed shingle-edge interface may also help reduce water movement beneath shingle edges during conditions associated with ice damming. This technique does not eliminate the need for proper roof drainage, flashing, attic insulation, ventilation, snow management, or correction of existing roofing defects.

ICE-DAM LIMITATION Shingleton Guard is not an ice-dam prevention system and does not guarantee prevention of ice dams, backed-up water, roof leaks, or water intrusion. Ice dams are affected by roof design, insulation, ventilation, weather, snow accumulation, drainage, and existing roof conditions. Ice-dam and water-intrusion damage are not covered unless expressly stated in the written Shingleton Guard Warranty.

9. Coverage and Optional Second Coat

Coverage rates are based on standard three-tab asphalt shingles. Architectural shingles, irregular textures, degraded profiles, or highly absorptive surfaces may require additional material. Actual usage must be monitored during application.

Optional Second-Coat Procedure

• Allow the required coat to dry for at least 30 minutes before recoating.

• At 77°F and 50% relative humidity, the recommended recoat window is approximately 30 minutes to 2 hours.

• Apply the optional second coat at approximately 300–450 square feet per gallon.

• Apply parallel to the shingle lines and offset the second-coat passes from the first-coat pattern edges to reduce visible spray transitions.

• Maintain a controlled wet edge and avoid buildup, puddling, or runs.

• Environmental conditions may change the appropriate recoat time.

The optional second coat is not required for warranty eligibility, does not correct an improperly applied required coat, does not expand or extend the written Warranty, and does not create a separate warranty.

10. Drying and Cure

CURE PROTECTION Dry to the touch does not mean fully cured. Do not apply when rain is expected within 24 hours. Protect the treated surface from rain, dew, heavy condensation, added water, debris, and unnecessary foot traffic during initial curing.

11. Property Protection and Overspray Control

• 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 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.
