National Coatings Corporation (NCC) Was Chosen by NASA to Help Aid in the Ares
I-X Rocket Launch That Will One Day Explore the Moon, Mars and More 
CAMARILLO, Calif.--(Business Wire)--
National Coatings, www.nationalcoatings.com, was part of a successful rocket
test flight, NASA`s first new rocket in nearly 30 years, because they used
sustainable and highly reflective AcryShield and RustShield products. The highly
durable roof coatings were chosen by NASA`s engineers due to the coatings'
ability to shield against rust, maintaining the exterior`s integrity of the
rocket while it passes through the salty ocean air. National Coatings` products
were also chosen because of their proven ability to highly reflect sunlight and
UV rays, protecting the rocket`s essential components from overheating. 

"We are very proud to be part of this successful rocket launch. Not many
companies get to participate in space endeavors and contribute to NASA's
success," says Matt Kolb, President of National Coatings Corporation. 

National Coatings, known for their Performance through InnovationSM, has
successfully maintained their proven ability to outshine all other roof
coatings, not only in the roofing industry, but by NASA too.
