- Application Instructions
Surface Preparation:
All surfaces to receive coating must be clean, dry and free from any foreign matter such as dirt, oils, grease or other debris that could inhibit the adhesion capabilities of the newly installed products. Metal surfaces that display rusting or other oxidation, must be prepared with a grinder or wire brush as needed to remove surface contaminants. Existing roof systems to be visually inspected for conditions that may adversely affect adhesion of performance of newly installed products. Repair any visible deficiencies such as splitting, blistering, and buckling with Acrylicaulk Elastomeric sealant and polyester fabric. Visually inspect all metal and non-metal flashings, edges, drains, valleys and through-roof penetrations and repair as needed by project conditions. Do not apply to wet or visibly damp surfaces, or surfaces previously covered with coal tar based products or Kynar® finishes. Remove all curing agents and or bond breakers from concrete surfaces prior to coating application.
Mixing Procedure:
Mix each A & B component individually, then combine A & B and mix thoroughly. Power mix for a minimum of 5 minutes with max 375 RPM drill. Mixing is recommended with a Jiffy Mixing Paddle or similar paddle design. Part A is White. Part B is Black. The combined product is Gray. The two components are packaged in the correct proportions (1 part by volume of Part A to 1 part by volume of Part B). Part A is a slurry liquid, with settling properties. Part B is a viscous liquid. Applications for smoother surface substrates, diluting of the Epoxy Primer is acceptable. Dilution is best achieved by taking 5 gal of the Part B adding 64 oz. of potable water and mix until uniform and add 5 gal of Part A until uniform. Finished mixture will be more easily applied by spray application.
Application:
Epoxy Primer may be applied by high pressure sprayer, roller, or brush application methods. Use long nap (³⁄₄" to 1") rollers when Epoxy Primer is used as block filler for porous concrete. If blowholes form as the primer dries, apply an additional coat. Allow 8 to10 minutes between passes. Use a ¹⁄₄" or ³⁄₈" nap roller or nylon brush. Consult KM Technical Services for application rates for specific roof substrates and for job specific application specifications. Porous surfaces will require additional primer. Excessive primer will reduce adhesion strength. Pot life is 2 hours at 75°F. This can be extended to 3 hours by thinning with 5% water to achieve the original consistency. Pot life at 55°F is doubled, however at 100°F it is reduced to 45 minutes or less. Do not apply if weather conditions are below 50°F, when there is a chance that temperatures could fall below 32°F within a 24 hour period after application, or if rain or dew is likely to occur before curing of product. Cold weather could result in uneven application and improper curing of product. Drying time is dependent on temperature and humidity. Do not apply when temperatures exceed 130°F Do not use on copper or silver.Surface Coverage Smooth Asphalt 2⁄3–1 gal per squareSmooth Modified 2⁄3–1 gal per squareGranulated Modified 1–11⁄3 gal per squareConcrete 1⁄2–2⁄3 gal per squareSmooth Single Ply 1⁄3 gal per squareAirless Sprayer (Pump Min.
