- Uses
- Protect and waterproof a variety of roof surfaces.
- Suitable for use on various conventional smooth and granulated BUR and granulated polymer modified roof membranes, most metal roof systems, PVC single-ply membranes (Primer may be required.), concrete, rigid coverboards such as Dens-Deck® and Securock®.
- Suitable for use on cementitious stucco, EIFS and other masonry surfaces.
- Application Instruction
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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Concrete surfaces cured with wax/resin based compounds can inhibit adhesion.
Application
- Stir well prior to application.
- PolyBrite 24 may be applied by high pressure spray, roller or brush application methods.
- Apply PolyBrite 24 at 24 wet mils (1.5 gallon per 100 square feet) per coat. Typical application conditions require PolyBrite 24 be applied in two coats at 24 wet mils per coat.
- Allow coating to dry overnight prior to applying second coat.
- To minimize potential voids or pinholes in coating application, apply second coat perpendicular to the first.
- Apply only when ambient temperatures are 50ºF and rising. Cold weather could result in uneven application and improper curing of product. Do not apply if there is a threat of inclement weather within 24 hours of application.
- Do not thin product. Do not heat outside of container. Do not apply at temperatures greater than 120ºF.
- Prior to using this product on new cap sheets (smooth or granulated), it is recommended to wait 30 days for weathering.
Cleaning
- Clean equipment and overspray with water.
- Clean hands with waterless hand cleaner.
- Application tools and equipment can be cleaned with lukewarm water and soap, followed by a rinse of isopropanol, acetone, or Simple Green®. Recirculate through lines and gun until residual coating is removed.
- Do not use mineral spirits, xylene, toluene, or VMP & naptha solvents.
