IB Acrylic Pro is a versatile, high quality elastomeric coating.Designed to provide a weathering surface over metal panel roofs, smooth, and granule asphaltic roofs, concrete, and aged
EPDM and aged thermoplastic single-ply membranes.- Coverage rate (approximate)
Approximate coverage rate is 1.0 to 1.5 gallons per 100 square feet (16-24 wet mils) per pass depending on substrate type and roughness.
Yield (1 gal/100 sq. ft.) = 16 wet mils/8.5 dry mils.
See recommendations for specific applications. Yields will varydepending upon system selected and the smoothness and absorbency ofsubstrate- Application guidelines
Application Equipment
Airless Sprayer:- Output: Minimum 30:1 fluid to air ratio / 2.5 – 3.0 gal per minute
- Pressure: 3,000 to 4,000 psi
- Filter Screen: 30 mesh or larger
- Spray Gun: Contractor rated for pressure, equipped with a ball-bearing swivel for ease of handling
- Hoses: 3/8” min ID up to 75 ft., 1/2” min ID up to 200 ft., and 3/4”
- min ID over 200 ft. Use largest diameter at pump. Hoses rated to2X maximum pump pressure. Hose lining should be compatible withcoating and required cleaning materials.
- Gun Hose: 3/8” ID x 6 feet high pressure rated with adequate WPSI.
- Extension: 12” gun extension is recommended
- Orifice Tip: .027” to .039” diameter, wide angled fan angle of 40 to
- 50 degrees is recommended. A reversible self-cleaning type nozzle isalso recommended. Exact office size will vary with temperature of thematerial and ambient temperatures.
- Brush: No reduction necessary. Use synthetic filament brushes. Donot over-brush as material may start to pull.
- Roller: No reduction necessary. Use 1-1/4” nap synthetic rollers.
- Keep a wet edge to avoid pulling. Avoid rapid rolling which can causebubbling.
- Spraying: When spraying material should be at least 75°F (25°C).Before applying additional coat, the previous coat must be completely dry and cured.
Mixing
No thinning or reduction is necessary. Product may separate aftershipping and storage, though it may still appear mixed. When mixing isnecessary, use a 3⁄4 horsepower or larger electric or air operated mixerwith a blade capable of uniformly mixing container. Use a 3” minimumdiameter mixing blade for 5-gal pails and a minimum 6” minimumdiameter blade for drums. Never mix by hand.Surface Preparation The substrate must be free of areas of ponding water, ice, snow, rain or dew, dirt, dust, grease, oil, foreign contaminants or other debris that would inhibit adhesion of coating. If such conditions exist, the roof surfaces should be properly prepared and cleaned using the specified IB cleaning solution in order to receive the new coating system. Mildew must be removed by power washing and scrubbing with a bleach solution of 1 part bleach and 2 parts water. Repeat if necessary. Rinse thoroughly and allow to dry. Most substrates require a bond enhancing primer and/or a compatible base coat before applying the IB Acrylic Pro Coating. Contact IBRS Technical Department at 800-426-1626 for recommendations regarding specific applications.
- Application
- Coating Apply IB Acrylic Pro Coating over the properly prepared substrate, compatible base coat or primer at the rate of 1.0 - 1.75 gallons (3.78 – 6.62 L) per 100 square feet (16 – 28 wet mils) or at the rate of 2.0–4.0 gallons (7.56–15.12 L)) per 100 square feet (32 – 64 wet mils) in two to three passes of 1.0 – 1.5 gallons (3.78 – 5.67 L) per 100 square feet (16 – 24 wet mils) per pass.
- Do not exceed 1.75 gallons (6.62 L) per 100 square feet in a single pass.
- Do not use as a base coat over asphaltic surfaces. When applying in separate applications, apply at right angles to the previous coat. Coating must be evenly applied and pinhole-free. Before applying additional coat, the previous coat must be completely dry and cured. If any contamination is present on the cured surface it must be washed and completely dry before application of subsequent coats.
- Adhesion Test: Adhesion of the IB Acrylic Pro should always be checked. Apply 6” – 12” square of the coating and embed a piece of IB Fabric into the coating, leaving a minimum 2” tail of the fabric exposed. Allow 2-3 days for the coating to cure and perform a 90° pull test of the fabric tail to test adhesion of the coating to the substrate.
- Limitations
- Refer to Substrate Preparation guidelines for proper preparation, cleaning and primer roof with any applicable bond enhancing primer before commencing with application of IB Acrylic Coatings.
- This product cures by water evaporation only. Do not attempt to apply product when weather conditions are not conducive to drying. Refer to temperature and relative humidity precautions.
- Application of materials with power spray equipment will requiring some masking and erection of wind screens to prevent over spray occurrences and damage to surrounding structures, surfaces, vehicles, property or persons.
- Clean Up
Clean up spills and spatters immediately with water. Flush all hoses,equipment, and tools with water followed by propylene glycol to preventunit from rusting.
Properties
Safety & Health
- Temperature precautions
Do not apply this product below 40°F (4.4°C) or in weather conditions where the temperature will drop below 40°F (4.4°C) during the curing cycle. Upper temperature restriction (both air and substrate) for application of IB Coating products is 120°F (49°C). If the substrate temperature exceeds 120°F (49°C), IB Coating products should be applied during cooler periods of the day. No coating should be applied unless surface temperature is 40°F minimum and 120°F maximum.
- Relative humidity precautions
Acrylic products are moisture sensitive. Do not apply thisproduct when it is raining or if the threat of rain exists. Do not apply when the dew point is less than 5°F below the ambient
temperature. Do not apply in conditions when the relativehumidity exceeds 90%.- Caution
Avoid prolonged and repeated contact with skin. Do not take internally.Avoid eye contact as this material has adhesive properties. Refer toproduct Safety Data Sheet (SDS) for additional information pertaining tothis product and prior to use or handling.
