Features & Benefits
- Ready-to-Use Product Features
- Features
- Can be applied by brush, squeegee or airless spray equipment.
- Cures to a tough, flexible protective barrier that resists “alligator” cracking and chemical attacks.
- Thixotropic viscosity allows maximum film thickness and resistance to sagging or flow.
- Compatible with EPS insulation, metal substrates and asphalt systems.
- Non-Asbestos.
- Zero Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC).
Applications & Uses
- Application & Uses
Uses:
- As a protective coating over smooth asphalt roofs, metal roofs and cured solvent-borne primers and coatings.
- With reinforcing fabrics over medium to severely alligatored asphalt flood coats.
- Dampproofing of masonry and concrete surfaces.
Applications:
- Ready to apply.
- Do not heat.
- Do not thin.
- Surface Preparation
- All work surfaces must be clean, damp or dry, but free of standing water, free of dirt, dust, debris, oils, loose and/or embedded gravel, un-adhered coatings, deteriorated membranes, and other contaminants that may result in a surface that is not sound.
- All necessary repairs must be completed before application to ensure optimum performance.
- Extremely dusty or dry surfaces should be primed with Fortress® # 5302 Asphalt Primer or Fortress® #5085 HydroPrime™ 200.
- Application Directions
Reinforced:
- Apply to the properly prepared surface at a rate of 1 - 2 gallons per square.
- Embed the first ply of Fortress® reinforcement (starter course), brushing the reinforcement into the adhesive.
- Assure that the reinforcement conforms to the surface and no bridging or fish mouthing occurs.
- Apply another coat of adhesive and embed the second course of reinforcement., overlapping the reinforcements in accordance with the appropriate spacing for the desired number of plies to be obtained.
- After the final ply, apply the adhesive at a rate of 1 - 2 gallons per square before surfacing.
Non-reinforced:
- Apply to the prepared surface at a rate of 2 - 4 gallons per square.
- To avoid pinholes and ensure maximum performance, the application of two coats, each at 1/2 the total coverage rate and applied perpendicular to one another, are recommended.
- Application Precautions
- Do not use with or on 100% rubber or plastic substrates.
- Do not use on or with products containing coal tar.
- Do not apply to areas that pond water.
- Do not apply if temperatures are expected to fall below 45ºF or rain or heavy dew is expected, within 24 hours of application.
- Do not use where this product may come in contact with potable water.
- Do not thin.
- Do not freeze.
- Clean Up
- Immediately rinse/flush equipment and tools with mineral spirits after use, exercising all flammable liquid precautions.
- Use waterless hand cleaner on the skin.
