KM Coatings KM Acryl 40-HS

KM Acryl 40-HS is a premium grade water-based elastomeric coating with a solids content of 60% on average. This proprietary formulation, made entirely of acrylic resins, cures into a seamless fluid-applied roof membrane. KM Acryl 40-HS has the unique ability to increase the life of a roofing system while decreasing overall life cycle costs. KM Acryl 40-HS is highly reflective when applied in white, keeping the roof surface cool and providing protection from UV and other weather exposures.

Uses

KM Acryl 40-HS is designed to protect and seal a variety of roof systems and can be used as either a base or surface coating. When the substrate is properly prepared, KM Acryl 40-HS can be used on aged BUR and mineral surfaced modified bitumen membranes and also over most thermoplastic, thermoset, and metals (a primer may be required). When applied over asphaltic surfaces, KM Acryl 40-HS offers resistance to asphalt staining (“bleed through” resistance). KM Acryl 40-HS can be applied directly to concrete, SPUF, exterior-grade plywood and most rigid cover boards. Usage to certain substrates may be limited or require additional preparation.

Application Instructions

Surface Preparation:
• All surfaces to receive coating must be clean, dry and free from any foreign matter such as dirt, oils, grease or other debris that could inhibit the adhesion capabilities of the newly installed products.
• Metal surfaces that display rusting or other oxidation, to be prepared with a grinder or wire brush as needed to remove surface contaminants.
• Existing roof systems to be visually inspected for conditions that may adversely affect adhesion of performance of newly installed products.
• Visually inspect all metal and non-metal flashings, edges, drains, valleys and through-roof penetrations and repair as needed by project conditions.
• Do not apply to wet or visibly damp surfaces, or surfaces previously covered with coal tar based products or Kynar® finishes.
• Concrete surfaces cured with wax/resin based compounds can inhibit adhesion.
Application:
• Mix well prior to application.
• KM Acryl 40-HS is recommended to be applied with high pressure sprayer for best appearance and coverage, however may be applied by roller or brush applications.
• Apply KM Acryl 40-HS at 24 wet mils (1.5 gallons per 100 square feet) per coat. Typical application conditions require KM Acryl 40-HS be applied in two coats at 24 wet mils per coat.
• Allow coating to dry overnight prior to applying second coat.
• To minimize potential voids or pinholes in coating application, apply second coat perpendicular to the first.
• Apply only when ambient temperatures are 50°F and rising. Cold weather could result in uneven application and improper curing of product. Do not apply if there is a threat of inclement weather within 24 hours of application.
• Do not thin product. Do not heat outside of container. Do not apply at temperatures greater than 120°F.
• Prior to using this product on new cap sheets (smooth or granulated), it is recommended to wait 30 days for weathering.

Spray Equipment

KM Acryl 40-HS can be applied by conventional airless spray equipment designed for the purposes of field application of fluids, paints and coatings. The following minimums are recommended:
Pump: 1.6 gal/min output; 2,500 psi
Gun/Tip: Reversible tip with orifice sizes ranging from .025–.039.
Hose: Minimum inside diameter of high pressure nylon hose of 3⁄8" to 75'; 1⁄2" to 200'.
Refer to equipment manufacturer product guidelines.
