Imagine this: You’re out at sea. The waves are rising, the wind is howling, and your vessel is being tested with every surge. Now ask yourself – would you rather be in a boat made of glass only, or one crafted from a fiberglass-reinforced composite, built to flex, absorb impact, and carry you through the storm?

That’s the power of reinforcement in a composite elastomeric coating system. It’s not just about durability – it’s about confidence, resilience, and knowing your structure is prepared for whatever conditions lie ahead.

Fluid Applied Composite Roofing Systems

A composite is a material made by combining two or more distinct materials—usually with different physical or chemical properties—to create something that’s stronger, lighter, more durable, or better suited to a particular use than the individual components on their own.

Composites consist of:

• Reinforcement: fibers or particles that add strength and stiffness (like carbon fibers, glass fibers, or ceramic particles)
• Matrix: the binding material that holds everything together (like a polymer, metal, or ceramic)

The reinforcement supports the load, while the matrix protects it and helps distribute stress evenly.

Reinforcement plays a pivotal role in composite materials by enhancing load-bearing capabilities through improved mechanical properties. Whether in the form of fibers, particles, or flakes, the reinforcing phase contributes significantly to strength and durability.

In a reinforced elastomeric composite roof coating system, the fabric reinforcement bears the mechanical load, providing essential structural support. The elastomeric coating encapsulates the fibers, anchoring them in place while distributing stress efficiently across the composite, ensuring performance under dynamic conditions.

Acrymax delivers a versatile portfolio of Fluid-Applied Composite Roof Systems engineered for waterproof durability, performance, and environmental responsibility. At the core of these systems is a high-strength polyester reinforcement fabric integrated with our AF-130 series of elastomeric coatings, forming a seamless, resilient membrane that adapts to a wide range of roofing substrates and conditions.

In addition to our standard reinforced composite systems, we offer a range of specialized specifications engineered to meet distinct performance requirements:

• ARS-1FR Fire-Retardant Systems: Utilizing AF-130FR, these systems are designed to enhance fire resistance with the use of Alumina Trihydrate pigments in the elastomeric coating. When subjected to high temperatures, Alumina Trihydrate (ATH) undergoes an endothermic decomposition, breaking down into alumina and water vapor. This reaction absorbs substantial heat, effectively delaying the temperature increase of nearby materials. Simultaneously, the released water vapor helps dissipate heat and dilutes flammable gases and oxygen in the environment -significantly lowering the risk of ignition and fire propagation The ARS-1FR system  is  FM Approved, ensuring compliance with industry-recognized benchmarks for fire performance and reliability.
• ARS-1R Recycled Content Systems: For organizations committed to green procurement, ARS-1R system offer a responsible choice without sacrificing performance. Our systems incorporate AF-130R series elastomeric coatings, engineered with 40–50% recycled content by weight. These innovative coatings support environmental purchasing goals while delivering the durability and quality expected from high-performance architectural solutions.

Whether your project demands enhanced fire protection, sustainable materials, or simply a robust waterproofing solution, Acrymax’s composite systems offer a tailored approach backed by decades of innovation in fluid-applied roofing technology.
