GacoBase U95

 A Sustainable, Cost-Effective Alternative for Encapsulating Built-Up Gravel Roofs

GacoBase U95 is a two-component urethane maintenance base coat designed to streamline roof restoration across a variety of substrates—helping you restore more roofs, with lower labor and material costs, without compromising on performance.

GacoBase forms a tough, durable film that protects foam substrates and prevents oil migration on asphalt roofs—without the need for bleed-blocking primers. It’s ideal for extending the life of aged asphaltic, single-ply, BUR and previously coated roof systems.

GacoBase may be brush-applied or rolled over existing single-ply systems and carries roof maintenance coating approvals from both UL and FM. Once applied, it is ready for top coat in as little as 4 hours. 

Made with renewable castor oil, GacoBase provides a sustainable, bio-based alternative to traditional roofing materials, reducing dependency on petroleum products and supporting eco-friendly building practices. It is low VOC and compliant in all 50 states.

Built-Up Gravel Roof Encapsulation

For built-up gravel roofs, remove loose aggregate using vacuum equipment, then flood coat GacoBase to encapsulate approximately 75% of the remaining embedded gravel—preparing the surface for a GacoFlex top coat of urethane, silicone, or acrylic to meet the specific needs of the building, location, and durability requirements.

Remember to put Gaco’s premium solutions to work for you. Gaco coatings are backed by industry-leading warranties*, international expertise, and a team of in-market experts who are local to you.
