The Next Evolution in Roof Care
As the demand for sustainable, cost-effective roofing solutions grows, Roof Rejuvenate USA leads a new era in roof maintenance—offering a patent-pending, corn-based rejuvenator that is not a coating, but a penetrating treatment designed to restore lost oils deep within asphalt shingles. Unlike surface-level coatings or soy methyl ester-based products, our formula works from the inside out—reviving flexibility, improving granule adhesion, and boosting resistance to UV and extreme weather conditions.
What Are Soy Methyl Esters (SMEs), and Why It Matters
Soy methyl esters (SMEs) are chemical compounds derived from soybean oil, commonly used as solvents or biodiesel. When emulsified into roof treatments, SMEs can soften asphalt excessively, trap moisture, and lead to shingle curling, blistering, or early failure.
Recognizing these risks, GAF, the largest roofing manufacturer in North America, issued a 2021 Technical Advisory Bulletin (TAB-R-151), stating:
“GAF does not recommend the field application of any coating or coatings claiming to be ‘restorative’, such as soy methyl ester-based water emulsion coatings to asphalt roofing shingles.”
They cited concerns including:
Curling and cracking
Asphalt softening and slippage
Moisture entrapment
Loss of fire rating and potential code violations
Roof Rejuvenate USA fully aligns with this position—our product contains zero soy methyl esters or solvents and isn't a coating.
Coating vs. Rejuvenator: The Core Difference
Coatings sit on top of the shingle surface, often creating a barrier without addressing the underlying issue: oil loss in aging asphalt. This can lead to surface blistering, mold, and even code violations—especially when soy methyl esters are involved.
Rejuvenators, in contrast, are designed to penetrate the asphalt layer, restoring the oils and flexibility that give shingles their strength and durability. Roof Rejuvenate’s formula goes further with a non-toxic, SME-free, corn-based solution that restores from within—offering a safer and longer-lasting result.
What Makes Roof Rejuvenate USA Different
Not a coating – Absorbs into the shingle core, doesn’t seal over it
No SMEs or solvents – Avoids the risks GAF warns about
Corn-based innovation – First of its kind, patent-pending formula
Lab tested – Proven to improve flexibility, tear strength, and granule retention
Nationwide success – Thousands of roofs treated across North America
5-Year Warranty – Full, non-prorated, and transferable
Rejuvenation, Redefined
Roof Rejuvenate isn’t just maintenance—it’s a paradigm shift. Our bio-based formula targets the root of deterioration and strengthens shingles from the inside out. For homeowners, it means extended roof life, lower costs, and greater peace of mind—with no compromises.
