PolyBrite® 35 CA

• PolyBrite 35 CA is specifically formulated for hot dry climates, provides superior durability and dirt pickup resistance.
• PolyBrite 35 CA protects against damaging ultraviolet rays, due to its high reflectance properties, keeping the roof surface cool in high temperatures that result in reduced building energy costs.

• Better hail resistance than typical elastomeric roof coatings.
• Excellent toughness to withstand foot traffic and routine rooftop maintenance activities.
• Easy application due to exceptional product flow.
• Superior wet and dry hide.
• Offers excellent resistance to extended exposure to solar ultraviolet energy.
• UV resistant.
• Offers high tensile strength and elongation.
• Resistant to dirt pick up.
• Fungal and algal resistant – even in high temperatures.
• Low VOC, non-flammable and presents a minimal hazard to the applicator or the environment.

• Polyglass offers all the product components needed for these systems – one stop shop
• A variety of systems which can be used on new construction or tear off and replace roofs
• Offers excellent resistance to extended exposure to solar ultraviolet energy
• Can decrease the roof surface temperature, thereby reducing energy costs
• Superior tensile strength for a strong roof
• Easy to install, no kettle, no torch and no special tools or equipment needed other than a heavy roller
• Much safer than traditional hot asphalt BUR or torch down systems
• Should reduce the cost of insurance for the roofing contractor
• Low VOC and odor - presents minimal hazard to the applicator or the environment
• Resistant to dirt pick-up – easy to maintain
• Fungal and algal resistant
• Excellent resistance to light foot traffic and hail

Approved over smooth and granulated BUR, SPUF, most metal roofs, modified bitumen membranes, concrete, exterior grade plywood rigid cover boards, and single-ply membranes. (May require a primer depending on age and condition.) A substrate adhesion test is recommended prior to product application.

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, to be prepared with a grinder or wire brush as needed to remove surface contaminants.
• Visually inspect existing roof systems for conditions that may adversely affect adhesion of performance of newly installed products. Repair any visible deficiencies such as splitting, blistering, and buckling with PolyBrite 72 or PolyBrite 73 Elastomeric Mastic and PolyBrite Polyester Fabric.
• Repair metal and non-metal flashings, edges, drains, valleys, and through-roof penetrations.
• 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. To field tint this product, please use a water-based, exterior-grade pigment.
• Apply with high pressure sprayer for best appearance and coverage, however the product may be applied by roller or brush applications.
• Apply at 24 wet mils (1.5 gallon per 100 square feet) per coat. Typical application conditions require two coats at 24 wet mils per coat. To minimize potential voids or pinholes in coating application, apply second coat perpendicular to the first.
• Allow coating to dry overnight prior to applying second coat.
• 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.

Spray Equipment

PolyBrite 35 CA can be applied by conventional airless spray equipment designed for the purposes of field application of fluids, paints and coatings. The following minimums are recommended:

• Pump -  1 gal/min output; 2,000 psi
• Gun/Tip - Airless handgun. Reversible tip with orifice sizes ranging from 0.0270.039.
• Hose - Minimum inside diameter of high-pressure nylon hose of 3 ⁄8". Refer to equipment manufacturer product guidelines.

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.
