Inland Coatings RC 1975 Polyurethane Aluminum

RC 1975 Polyurethane Aluminum is a technologically advanced, high solids, single component, moisture cure polyurethane elastomer coating uniquely formulated for the protection of low slope roofing systems including EPDM, TPO, PVC, Mod. Bit. and BUR surfaces. Once cured, this liquid-applied, moisture-curing polymer provides a durable, seamless, flexible, waterproof membrane that resists lateral movement, shear and will allow for normal expansion and contraction. Mil for mil, RC 1975 provides greater adhesion and increased protection than similar polyurethane coatings. This product also offers increased resistance to moisture penetration through its lower moisture vapor permeability values. Due to its moisture-cure properties, a longer production window can be achieved during application than acrylic coatings.

Recommended Uses
  • RC 1975 was specifically developed as a protective coating (base and finish coat) for sprayed-in-place polyurethane foam roofing.
  • With excellent adhesion, RC 1975 may be used as a base coat for protection of conventional commercial/industrial surfaces such as, but not limited to: TPO and EPDM single-ply membranes, Mod. Bit., smooth BUR and the lining and sealing of interior gutter systems.
General Surface Preperation and Application Instructions
  • RC 1975 may be applied by medium nap rollers, soft brushes or conventional airless spray equipment.
  • Apply RC 1900 only to clean, dry, sound coating surfaces free of loose particles or other foreign matter.
  • Successive and/or topcoats must be applied to the base or intermediate coats within 48 hours to ensure proper adhesion.
  • Apply RC 1975 at the rate of 1.25 gallons per 100 sq. ft. per coat.
  • Minimum dry mil thickness shall be 12.5 DFT for the base coat and 12.5 DFT for the top coat.
  • Do not apply if the ambient temperature falls below 50°F.
  • Product application should be suspended immediately and our technical service personnel contacted if the results being obtained are less than desirable.
