- A quonset-type barn or any low-pitch roof of corrugated, galvanized iron often has leaks at the seams or where each metal sheet laps another. It is necessary to coat the lap joint and only one or two inches on each side of the crack. In most cases, a second coat is not required. The combined thickness will be 15 mils or more. This is four times as thick as house paint. Within 48 hours after application, it is possible to walk between the supporting purlins and the rubber-like UE #12 will stretch but will always recover. It will not break. The roof or wall has been sealed forever.
- UE #12 stretches like rubber elongation, is 1,000 % tensile strength and is 2,400 P.S.I. Most important is that the UE #12 will not deteriorate as it is exposed to the ultraviolet rays of the sun and to ozone. These two elements limit the use of rubber or neoprene coatings. UE #12 is exceptionally abrasive resistant if placed in an environment of erosion. The most commonly prepared color of the UE #12 is light gray.
- UE #12 will experience a color change after exposure to the sun. This has no effect on the physical properties of the coating.
- For any swimming pool repair, the UE #12 is the answer. Any cracks can be repaired, and when the pool is filled, the cracks open the same as before but the UE #12 stretches and no leaks occur.
- The UE #12 will serve best where there is some degree of movement that will normally crack a rigid coating.
- Extensive tests and experiments since 1970 have revealed that UE #12 can be applied inside metal and concrete grain storage bins to form a completely air-tight condition that may never be accomplished otherwise.
- The corrugated iron sheets that granaries and buildings are made with may be coated only at lap joints and over nails and bolts. Possibly only 1/6th of the entire area would be covered. UE #12 is the complete solution for silos.
- The adhesion of UE #12 to aluminum is so perfect that the mobile home industry will employ tremendous quantities as a covering over the smooth aluminum roofs. This prevents damage from hail. It contributes to sound-deadening from the wind vibrating the roof and eliminates placing unsightly automobile tires on top of pretty mobile homes for quietness.
- The roof coating is not a paint. It is a very heavy bodied material with an excellent adhesion factor to any tar or asphalt base product. The white is a tremendous advantage for reflecting heat.
- UE #12 does not contaminate any drinking water vessel after complete cure.
- Benefits
- Greatly improved elongation
- Greatly improves Strength. Cannot be pulled apart by hand.
- Greatly improved adhesion. Sticks to anything making it especially useful for troublesome surfaces, galvanized materials, glass, rusty metal, etc.
- Most applications require only 1 coat.
- A one-coat brushed coating of Urethane #12 normally will cover 20 linear ft.
- Every kit of Urethane #12 is complete with fiber, base and catalyst for metal or non-metal surface.
- Urethane #12 does not contaminate any drinking water vessel after complete cure.
