- Product Highlights
SILVER FILM is significantly differ‐ ent to other aluminum colored roof coatings. It contains no asphalt, no fillers and uses high quality auto‐ motive grade flake pigment. At 3.5 pounds of aluminum metal flake per gallon it produces a layer of protective metal composite that can provide 7 to 10 years of protec‐ tion in a single coat.
- Outstanding Features
- Can be used over BUR, rubber, steel, aluminum, previously painted surfaces, and others
- Reflects 73% of solar heat and protects substrate against rust, corrosion, UV damage and acid rain
- Easy to apply straight out of the container by brush, roller or air‐ less spray
- May be applied over rusted and corroded metals
- Single component, solvent‐ based formula allows for appli‐ cation in a wide temperature range
- Reduces the intensity of roof deck expansion and contraction cycles
- Protects metals with corrosion inhibiting ingredients
- Remains tough at low tempera‐ tures and will not flow at high temperatures
- Will not re‐emulsify or wash away with rainwater
- Can easily be recoated

- Applications
Surfaces to be coated must be clean, dry and free of loose debris, oils, grease and other substances that would interfere with proper bond. Metals should be washed thoroughly to remove flaking rust and salts. All repairs should be completed prior to the application of the SILVER FILM. SILVER FILM is applied directly out of the can after 2 minutes of low speed stirring or mixing. Apply the product using a brush, roller, or spray technique at a rate of 350 to 380 square feet per gallon in one single coat. Tools may be cleaned after use with mineral spirits.
