"Hi Ames,

My name is Mike. I've been applying your Elasto-Barrier coating along with the seam fabric and Snow Seal to problem areas on my 70,000 sq. ft. warehouse roof. The consistent leaks have all been stopped and the need to replace a $300,000 roof looks to be much further down the road. Thanks a lot for the information and products needed."

  • A sophisticated fast drying pure acrylic polymer
  • Increases adhesion for Ames' coatings and paints
  • Penetrates into the surface
  • Can apply with commercial airless sprayer
  • Seals water out
  • Resists cracking and peeling
  • Stays elastic - even at -35 degrees F.
  • Stops efflorescence of concrete
  • Inhibits mildew
  • Bonds surfaces together
  • Water Clean-up

Ames Research Laboratories' Super Primer is a unique, elastomeric plastic sealant, primer and adhesive for concrete, tile, rubber, wood, metal, and many hard-to-stick surfaces. It penetrates deeply into the surface to actually bind together the molecules of the surface it is being applied to. Rotting and deteriorating surfaces can be restored to a somewhat new condition and often the surface life can be extended for one or more years of usefulness. Super Primer adhesive sealant strengthens and helps preserve surfaces from mildew and moss formation, and stops concrete efflorescence. With up to 100 to 300% elasticity, Super Primer is able to move with the surface as it expands and contracts. Super Primer is highly resistant to cracking and peeling. It is easy to apply, simply roll, brush, or spray it on. Super Primer is pearlescent white in liquid form, and dries to a clear finish. Super Primer dries rapidly to a slight tack in 10 - 20 minutes at 70 degrees Fahrenheit, and even faster with sun contact.

Your Products are Great

I bought some Super Elasto-Barrier, Maximum-Stretch and seam tape to use on my flat roofed garage with rolled roofing. In the eight years I have owned my home I have always had trouble with leaks. I have a 1000 sq. ft. garage so it’s not a small structure. Your product went on with such ease. In the last two weeks we have had a couple of downpours or rain and two days of constant rain. NO LEAKS!! I am so amazed. It is so nice to not have to worry about it anymore. If anyone has troubles with leaks I will pass on your name to them. I am going to let my roof go until next spring to see how tough winter is on it. Then next spring I will get some more Maximum-Stretch and give the areas where I have trouble another coat.

THANKS GUYS!!!!!

Maximum-Stretch has several times the adhesive capability of most paint. It seals, saves and extends the life of old roofs and is an excellent choice for old tar roofs.

This liquid elastic coating and sealant flows easily into cracks and crevices and dries to completely seal roof leaks.

Maximum-Stretch roof coating resists cracking and drastically reduces the expansion and contraction that tears roofs apart. Maximum-Stretch remains flexible from -30° to 150° F. It has been developed for cold and wet weather and formulated to resist fungus, mold and mildew. It is potable water compliant. Maximum-Stretch cleans up with water, contains no solvents and is easy to use. Just pour it out and paint it on. Ask for a sprayable-grade coating when applying by sprayer.

We have a 95 year old Spanish style house that was impossible to keep cool during the summer. Our electric bill for last August alone was $600 and we still couldn’t get the living room temperature below 90 F….day or night.

This year we were almost ready to sign up for a $25,000 fix when I saw your site on the internet. I ordered 15 gallons of Maximum Stretch…enough for one coat on our roof. With my infrared thermometer, I took the temperature of the living room ceiling before I started. It registered 87 F. By that afternoon, I finished the very easy “pour it out and roll it on” application and the temperature dropped to 75 F.

Not only did we save the $25,000, we are saving $100 per week in energy costs and will pay for the products in less than 6 weeks.

Thank you Ames!

I bought the Elasto-Barrier and Snow Seal from your company back in August and applied it to my roof. It's been raining quite heavily here for quite some time now and I wanted to call and tell you my roof is completely dry. I just wanted to call and thank you. Your product did everything you said it would do. You have a very satisfied customer here.
