Henry roof coatings, roof patch and moisture-protection products help residential builders protect roofs, walls and foundations. The range gives you materials for coating an existing roof, repairing a leak and protecting a new assembly. Start with the surface and the job it needs to do.
Henry started its building-products business in 1933 and has roots in Los Angeles. It joined Carlisle in 2021. The company makes roof coatings, roof repair materials, air barriers and waterproofing.
Roof coatings and roof repairs
Solar-Flex White Elastomeric Roof Coating uses an acrylic formulation. Before choosing a coating, identify the existing roof and any coating already on it. Compatibility starts with what’s underneath.
Henry Asphalt Emulsion is a cold-applied, solvent-free coating made with bentonite clay and water. It protects roofing materials, metal and masonry, and becomes waterproof when dry. Plan the work around drying as well as application.
Henry Fibered Black Roof Coating uses asphalt in a solvent system with polyester fibers. That solvent system allows work at lower temperatures than asphalt emulsions. You can apply it by brush or spray.
For a local leak, Henry offers Wet Patch Roof Leak Repair and Rubberized Wet Patch. Locate the failed seam, flashing or penetration before placing the repair; water can travel before it shows up inside. Henry Plastic Roof Cement is a trowel-grade sealant for dry surfaces.
Henry also offers a fibered aluminum coating.
Surface preparation comes first
A coating needs a sound surface underneath it. Remove loose material and dirt, and address failed details before coating the roof field. For Henry Tropi-Cool silicone roof coating, apply a test area over the existing membrane to verify adhesion and absence of bleed-through before starting the full application.
Driveway coating and patching
Henry Driveway E-Z Stir Asphalt Filler & Sealer is intended for asphalt surfaces with minor cracks. Driveway Asphalt Pothole Patch fills potholes and cracks. Match the repair to the depth of the damage: patch a depression before sealcoating so the finish follows a repaired surface.
Henry also offers Elastomeric Crack Repair for smaller minor cracks and Driveway Elastomeric Crack Filler for larger minor cracks in home driveway surfaces.
Walls, foundations and other work
Henry offers fluid-applied and self-adhered air barriers in permeable and impermeable versions, along with flashing, primers, adhesives and sealants, so choose the vapor behavior for your wall assembly and detail continuity at openings and transitions.
Henry Non-Fibered Foundation Coating provides above- and below-grade dampproofing on exterior concrete and masonry walls and foundations; those surfaces must be thoroughly dry before application.
For foundation assemblies that call for waterproofing, Henry offers pre-applied and post-applied below-grade systems.
Henry’s catalog also includes concrete and flooring accessories.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do you apply Henry roof coating?
The application method depends on the coating you’re using. For Henry Tropi-Cool, apply a test area first to check adhesion and bleed-through, and keep application within its 35°F to 120°F temperature range. It’s designed for one-coat application and is rain-safe in 15 minutes, but rain-safe isn’t the same as fully cured. Plan the amount you’ll use before opening the container, because moisture in the air starts the curing process.
How do you use Henry roof sealant?
Find where water enters before covering the visible damage, because a leak can travel before it shows up inside. Henry Plastic Roof Cement is a trowel-grade sealant for dry surfaces, so surface condition matters before you start spreading it. A patch needs sound material underneath; loose roofing or failed flashing needs attention for the repair to hold.
What is Henry elastomeric roof coating used for?
Henry Enviro-White is a white, reflective acrylic roof coating that forms a permeable membrane when cured. It keeps liquid water out while allowing moisture vapor to escape from the underlying surface. That vapor permeability matters when you’re choosing how the roof assembly will dry.
Can you use Henry roof coating on an RV?
Yes, Henry Tropi-Cool is a 100% silicone roof coating with RV roofs among its listed applications. You need to identify the existing roof surface and apply a test area to verify adhesion and check for bleed-through before coating the whole roof. It can also recoat previously coated roofs, so the old coating is part of that compatibility check.
