POLAROOF AC­­™

1 of 1 products in this brand
POLAROOF AC­­™ is a high-quality, waterproof, tough, elastic coating with unique properties that help most roofs last longer. This material's formulation technology employs acrylic chemistry and advanced mineral design to create a composite coating that forms a shield to protect against water penetration, corrosion, and stress fatigue caused by thermal cycling. Long-term waterproofing is achieved through tenacious adhesion to the substrate and flexibility across a wide temperature range, without cracking at low temperatures or melting or flowing at high temperatures. The hydrophobic nature of the mineral structure within the composite creates a barrier that prevents ion transfer, which is a hallmark of corrosion. Furthermore, the ability to reduce stress fatigue by absorbing heat energy and conversing via an endothermic reaction will be greatly enhanced.the longevity of the roof structure.

Applications & Uses

Applications

CAUTION! Read this entire data sheet before continuing. Surfaces must be dry, free of dirt, loose debris, oil, grease, or any substance that could interfere with bond. All repairs of damage or defects must be made prior to application. POLAROOF AC is an alkaline waterbased product. POLAROOF AC is applied straight out of the can after 2 minutes of gentle low speed mixing or stirring. Apply the product using brush, roller, or spray technique. Apply in 2 coats to a uniform wet film thickness of about 24 mils per coat to insure complete coverage on the 2nd coat. Apply the 2nd coat after the 1st coat has set (about 2-4 hours). For spray applications, use a 30:1 ratio Graco with a #36 tip or similar equipment. For soft brush or high nap roller application, use light pressure and coat in a cross direction to the 1st coat.

Limitations

Do not apply to frozen or saturated surfaces. Do not apply if the temperature is predicted to drop below 45°F within 4 hours after application is completed. Do not apply if rain is forecast within 4 hours of completion of application. Protect POLAROOF AC from freezing. In roofing areas where water is likely to pond and be present for more than 1 day after precipitation, it is advisable to topcoat the POLAROOF AC with CLEARCOAT FP. Apply the CLEARCOAT in these areas at the rate of 1 gallon per 350 square feet.

Maintenance

If a surface becomes dirty or stained, wash with a mild soapy water solution. If an area becomes nicked or cut, recoat with POLAROOF AC. Clean tools and equipment with water before the POLAROOF AC dries; after that solvent cleaning may be necessary.
