- Easy application
- Great adhesion
- Excellent solar reflectance
Applications & Uses
- Clean Up
- Water
- Recommended Uses
- RC 1600 is the ideal choice for metal roofs.
- The thixotropic nature of RC 1600 permits high build coverage, even on rough, textured or vertical surfaces without pinholing or sagging.
- It also has excellent adhesion to a variety of other substrates, such as asphalt, primed wood, primed metal, concrete and masonry.
- Ponding water conditions are to be avoided.
- Mobile home and RV’s
- Composition roofs
- Built-up roofs
- Trucks and trailer tops
- Silos and grain elevators
- Application Instructions
- RC 1600 may be applied by airless spray equipment at a minimum rate of 1 - 2 gallons per square per coat.
- Airless spray is the most efficient application method for larger projects.
- Brushes and rollers may be used for detail work such as edge termination, filling of voids, pinholes and small cracks.
- Apply RC 1600 only to clean and dry sound substrates free of loose particles or other foreign matter.
- Limitations & Precautions
- RC 1600 is a water-based acrylic coating that will freeze and become unusable at temperatures below 32°F.
- Protect from freezing during shipment and storage.
- Do not store material at temperatures below 45ºF.
- Do not apply RC 1600 at temperatures below 50ºF or if there is a chance of temperatures falling below 32ºF within a 24-hour period.
- Do not apply RC 1600 over wet substrates or when inclement weather is imminent.
- Avoid contamination in sealed containers.
- Store away from heat and sources of ignition.
- Do not inhale vapor or mist; do not get on skin, in eyes or on clothing.
