- Protect Your Roof with TileFlex
There are two important reasons why you should restore your roof. Firstly, the appearance of your home is greatly improved with a clean glossy colored roof.
Secondly, and more importantly, a durable coating protects your roof from the effects of aging. All exterior surfaces and coatings undergo an aging process caused by moisture, UV light radiation, temperature extremes, dirt, pollution, moss, lichen, and bacteria. This aging can result in gloss reduction, chalking, discoloration, blistering, flaking, loss of adhesion, and unsightly moss and lichen build-up resulting in general coating failure.
The key to the success of TileFlex is its amazing ability to resist the causes of aging better than any other acrylic roof coating. TileFlex uses a unique system of surface cleaning Nano Technology to repel dirt pick up and contamination.
TileFlex contains highly effective polymer preservatives which provide long-lasting broad-spectrum, algaecide and fungicide protection to prevent polymer discoloration and deterioration and moss and lichen growth. Unlike many other roof coatings, TileFlex is also user friendly because it does not contain environmentally harmful formaldehyde preservatives.
TileFlex is suitable for the collection of drinking water.
TileFlex contains UV resistant non-fading pigments and tough flexible 100% acrylic polymers which will transform any roof into an attractive and functional surface. TileFlex is guaranteed not to peel, fade, or crack subject to correct surface preparation and application.
With TileFlex you can be confident that you will obtain “a perfect finish” every time.

- Application Area
- Compatible Substrates & Surfaces
- Provisions
Application Conditions:
- Only apply between 10°C and 30°C ambient air temperatures.
- Ensure no surface moisture is present prior to application.
- Consideration must be given to other climatic conditions such as wind, relative humidity, overnight dew or if rain is likely within 24 hours of application.
- DO NOT apply Tileflex until the primer is completely dry.
- Coating in very hot or cold conditions may reduce gloss appearance and affect durability.
Failure to observe these provisions may affect coating adhesion and performance
- Coverage
- 4m2/L
- Minimum System dry film thickness 200μm.
- To maximize performance, do not over spread.
- Recommended Substrates
Suitably prepared and primed surfaces, including concrete & terracotta roof tiles, sheet metal, asbestos, cement sheet and asphalt shingles & sheets.
- Mixing/Thinning
- Prior to Commencement: Stir thoroughly prior to use.
- Thinning is not required or recommended.
- Test Patch
Always conduct a test patch to check inter-coat adhesion.
- Substrate Preparation
- All bare surfaces must be cleaned, treated and correctly primed, prior to application.
- Moss and lichen: Must be removed prior to application. Refer Nutech Hypo or Nu-EcoSafe MossRid in accordance with the relevant TDS.
- High pressure water clean using a minimum of 3000psi and allow for the surface to fully dry.
Repair/ Replace
- Any damaged roof tiles, cappings and flashing.
- Any damaged pointing (where applicable) should be repaired with Nutech MaxiPoint as outlined in the MaxiPoint TDS.
- Improperly prepared surfaces may result in coating failure.
- Application Equipment
- Airless Spray (Recommended)
- Brush or Roller
- Application Procedure
Tile pointing must be adequately cured in cold weather prior to coating to ensure adhesion. Weather conditions must be favorable as rain, moisture or dew may cause damage to the coating. Application in extreme hot or cold temperatures will affect gloss and durability. Nutech Paint recommends Tileflex is applied by Trained Professionals.

Technical Details & Test Data
- The Next Generation In Roof Coating Technology
TileFlex is no ordinary paint. This revolutionary coating combines advanced technology developed exclusively by Nutech Paint over more than 40 years with the special properties of surface cleaning Nano Technology to deliver superior performance.
Nutech Paint have spent years developing TileFlex roof coating, which will stay cleaner and retain gloss longer than any conventional acrylic roof coating.
Independent CSIRO1 testing has conclusively shown that the surface friction of TileFlex is substantially reduced by the unique properties of surface cleaning Nano Technology. Special polymers used in the manufacture of TileFlex and a low level of surface friction enables the coating to repel moisture, dirt and contamination. This will greatly improve the appearance and function of your roof.
Further testing has shown that TileFlex has superior gloss, early water resistance and film drying speed compared to other acrylic coatings enhancing appearance and application properties. TileFlex provides significantly more gloss on application and will maintain an attractive new looking roof appearance better than any other acrylic roof coating.
To reduce the damaging effects of the harsh Australian environment, Nutech has used the latest technology to impregnate TileFlex with surface cleaning Nano Technology. This innovation guarantees that TileFlex sets new standards in roof coating performance, maximizing the durability and total waterproof protection.
