April 14, 2021 3:24 pm

Gaco Launch - Acrylic and Urethane

Gaco officially launches GacoFlex™ A47 acrylic, GacoFlex U91 aromatic urethane, and UA60 aliphatic urethane coatings to complete the brand’s portfolio of innovative roof coatings, roofing systems, and waterproofing applications.

  • The expansion into acrylic and urethane coatings expands the Gaco offering to become one of the industry’s only sole-source suppliers of polyurethane foam and roof coatings.
  • GacoFlex A47 acrylic provides one of the strongest tensile strengths available in its class, which delivers a long-lasting durable topcoat.
  • The combination of GacoFlex A47 acrylic and GacoRoofFoam as a full roofing system is one of the few warrantable foam and acrylic systems available from a sole-source supplier.
  • GacoFlex U91 urethane is a single-component aromatic urethane coating that can be used in multiple applications, including as a coating for decking and roofing that is quicker to install than other two-component offerings.
  • GacoFlex UA60 aliphatic urethane can be used in conjunction with U91 as a reflective topcoat in Gaco’s urethane roofing system.

Firestone Building Products announces the launch of three new coatings products, GacoFlex A47 acrylic, GacoFlex U91 aromatic urethane as a roof coating, and GacoFlex UA60 aliphatic urethane, expanding its current product portfolio. The expansion into acrylic and urethane coatings means Gaco is truly a single-source, top to bottom coating and waterproofing partner. Gaco manufactures, inspects, and offers warranties on all of our products offering a full line of solutions to meet project needs.

“We are excited by the expansion of Gaco’s product offering,” said David Martiny, Director of Product Management for Firestone Building Products. “With A47 acrylic, U91 and UA60 urethane, we now can provide a true one stop shop to our customers.”

Jason Flack, Vice President of Sales for Firestone Building Products said, “This expansion and diversification of our Gaco product offering demonstrates our on-going commitment to product innovation in the roofing and waterproofing market and positions us well for future growth.”
