Roof Coatings

Introduction

Hundreds of roof coating products are on the market today, and several of their manufacturers have

developed more sustainable biobased options. Many of these products are fire, impact, mold, mildew,

and rust resistant, in addition to being solar reflective. Solar-reflective roof coatings help to lower the

temperature of the roof, saving money and energy that would be used to cool the building. They are

also used to seal roofs to prevent leaking and other water damage to the building. Roof coating products

can be applied by being brushed, rolled, or sprayed onto the roofing surface. Biobased roof coatings can

be used on almost any roofing substrate, including asphalt built-up roofs, concrete, metal, fiberglass,

wood, gypsum board, ethylene propylene diene monomer rubber, gravel, polyurethane foam, and

others. Several roof coating manufacturers are members of the U.S. Green Building Council and the Cool

Roof Rating Council. Many of the products listed in this document are ENERGY STAR qualified, and some

may also earn credits in the U.S. Green Building Council’s Leadership in Energy and Environmental

Design (LEED) Green Building Rating System™.

Dear Reader: The United Soybean Board (USB) is pleased to expand our work in sharing the good news about biobased products to government officials across the nation. In recent weeks, USB enrolled as the first associate sponsor of

the National Association of Counties (NACO) Green Government Initiative as well as joined as an associate member of the National Association of Local Government Environmental Professionals (NALGEP).

We are delighted that NACO and NALGEP members are interested in incorporating biobased products into their greening efforts. Many of our newsletter readers are federal employees who often interact with government professionals from the state and local levels. We hope that you will help spread the word that USB’s resources, like the Biobased Best Practices Guide and Profiles in Biobased Success, are available to them as well. You can go to our website at www.soybiobased.org. Also, if you know of a state or local success with biobased products, we would love to hear from you as well.

Sincerely, Todd Allen, New Uses Committee Chair

FOR GOVERNMENTWinter 2008

Go to www.soybiobased.org to sign up for the electronic version of this

newsletter and to see profiles of how biobased products are successfully

used throughout the government.

Government representatives have two new resources to assist them in greening efforts. First, the United Soybean Board (USB) has updated its Biobased Products Best Practices Guide as a resource for govern-ment purchasing decision makers. The Guide is designed to support the work of government agencies that are implementing the biobased products procurement program first launched in the 2002 Farm Bill. It is also an excellent tool for states, counties, cities and local government agencies to use for their green procurement programs.

“This Guide will aid government employees in making the switch to biobased products, which are good for America’s environment, economy and energy security,” said United Soybean Board (USB) New Uses Committee Chairman Todd Allen, a soybean farmer from West Memphis, Arkansas. “Soybean farmers support this effort through their national checkoff program because biobased products, ranging from carpet backing to lubricants to cleaning supplies, can be made from U.S. soybeans to reduce their petroleum content.”4

INSIDE THIS ISSUE

The Midwestern Governors Association took action in November to promote biobased products in their Energy Security and Climate Stewardship Summit agreement. The agreement includes a resolution to jointly establish a Midwestern Biobased Product Procurement System to support the growth of the region’s bioeconomy. The System goal is to create a common approach to listing biobased products consistent with the federal Biopreferred® program, with System members listing biobased products based on their own procurement rules.4

typical, 10-story, brick 1940s office building used by the General Service Administration (GSA) in Chicago’s Loop has added a 21st Century roof that features living green plants and a white biobased roof coating, both of which help the environment and reduce urban heat. (The project, completed in October, was first reported on in Biobased Solutions for Government Winter 2007 issue available at www.soybiobased.org.) The soy-based products are white Environmental Liquid Membrane System® (ELMS) Liquid membranes and ELMS Masonry Jacket in a tan color are now installed on more than 6,500 square feet of masonry. More than 15,000 plants specific to the geographic region were also planted.

Architect Will Wagner, GSA Office of Tenant Operations in Chicago, was the “visionary” who conceived and executed the project to add to the city of Chicago’s cutting edge efforts to improve its urban environment.

Director of Business Development for Roofing Resources, Erich Poch, points out that his firm’s GSA contract GS-07F-5624P now includes ELMS products and Roofscapes Green roof systems. Detailed information is available at the GSA Advantage Website www.gsaadvantage.gov/advgsa/ advantage/search/search.do?contract=GS-07F-5624P& sin=563+4.

Available online at www.soybiobased.org as well as in print and CD formats, the Guide offers a list of the products officially designated as “biobased” by the U.S. Department of Agriculture as well as the law and regulations, relevant Executive Orders, factual information, descriptions of actual practices, and examples of procurement of biobased products by government employees. The online version is continually updated to include all new product categories designated as biobased by the USDA, any changes in various regulations pertaining to preferred procurement program implementation and case histories as they become available. The Guide also has sample language for government service contracts to encourage the use of biobased products.

The second resource is the amendment to the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR). On November 7, 2007, the federal government amended the FAR to add procurement preference provisions for biobased products. This is an important step in the implementation of the BioPreferredSM program because the FAR contains the uniform

policies and procedures used by federal agencies when purchasing products and services. The new biobased provisions in the FAR include requirements that agencies consider the “maximum practicable use” of biobased products and services:

•when developing or revising their specifications, product descriptions and standards;

•indescribinggovernmentrequirementsforproducts and services; and

•indevelopingsource-selectionfactors.

The new provisions also require agencies to establish affirmative procurement programs for biobased products and sets procedures for contracting officers when purchasing biobased products or services using biobased products, including requirements for solicitation and contract clauses. FAR amendments are online at www.soybiobased.org/resources/FARBiobasedProcurement-2007-11-07FR.pdf.

History of GPOGPO has been providing the 

American public with access to 

digital and printed copies of the 

nation’s most important 

documents for nearly 150 years.  

 

“GPO opened its doors the same 

day President Lincoln was 

sworn into office ‐ March 4, 

1861,” says Gary Somerset, GPO 

Media and Public Relations 

Manager.  

 

Created by an act of Congress in 

1860, GPO was founded to print 

government documents such as 

the: Congressional Record, Federal 

Register, congressional bills, 

hearings and reports, official 

inaugural materials of the 

President and many more 

important government 

documents.  

 

Today, GPO employs 2,300 

people and is the largest 

manufacturing facility in 

Washington D.C. GPO is now 

comprised of four historic 

buildings, with the oldest 

building being opened in 1901. 

 

Success Story GPO uses biobased roofing materials to fulfill Federal procurement 

needs and reduce operating costs  The U.S Government Printing Office (GPO), comprised of four 

buildings totaling approximately 1.5 million square feet, was 

in dire need of a new roof system for three of its historic 

buildings.  

 

“Maintenance and repairs were becoming a common 

occurrence and reliability of our old system was lost,” says 

Mike Brady, GPO’s Strategic Environmental Programs 

Manager. “GPO needed an entirely new roof due to the failure 

and continued deterioration of the old roof.” 

 

GPO saw the failing roof as an opportunity to increase the 

energy efficiency and reduce the environmental impact of 

buildings.  

 

Choosing a roofing system 

GPO decided to open the solicitation only to roof contractors 

on the General Services Administration (GSA) schedule due to 

their experience selling to the Federal government. In 

addition, utilizing the GSA schedule allows for an expedited 

procurement process.  

 

A request for proposal (RFP) was issued and proposals were 

scored based upon the following criteria: environmental 

requirements, warranty, project management and safety, 

technical requirements, references and past performance.  

 

“In addition, the RFP also stated that each proposal would 

receive a higher rating in the applicable category based upon 

their ability to recycle existing materials and use materials 

with recycled and biobased content,” says GPO’s contracting 

officer, Bryan Cook.  

 

Cook says the contractors had to prove their products were

environmentally friendly by showing they could meet or qualify for one or more of the 

following: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Comprehensive Procurement Guidelines, 

GSA’s Environmental Products and Services Guide, U.S. Department of Agriculture’s 

BioPreferred program, Energy Star rating and/or Cool Roof Council listing.  

 

The roof 

After reviewing all of the RFPs, GPO decided to use Roofing 

Resources, Inc. (RRI) to build the new roofs. RRI was able to 

provide GPO with a biobased roof coating that met the content 

requirement (20% or more) for BioPreferred and provided a roof 

that had a Energy Star rating and qualified for the Cool Roof 

Council listing.  

 

To ensure the roof would meet expectations, GPO created a 

pilot project.  

 

“Basically we tested small portions of the roof to make sure it 

would work for GPO’s buildings,” Brady says. “The pilot 

project proved the roof would be effective and we have decided to move ahead with the 

completion of the roof.”  

 

RRI put new roofs on three of the four GPO buildings using a Build‐Up Roofing (BUR) system, 

which utilizes many biobased materials. In addition a biobased 

roof coating was put on each roof during the pilot project to 

prolong the life of the roof.  

 

“We chose the BUR system because it doubles the life 

expectancy of our roof and allows our rooftop equipment to run 

at a higher efficiency during the summer months,” Brady says. 

“In addition, the biobased roof coating added immediate 

environmental benefits to our facility.” 

 

The biobased roof coating GPO chose is highly reflective, which 

reduces the temperature of the roof. The roof coating not only 

helped GPO reduce its environmental impact, but also fulfilled 

GPO’s procurement requirement to purchase biobased products.  

 

“We have been very pleased with the pilot project and are 

looking forward to discovering what benefits the completed 

project will bring,” Brady says.  

 

GPO plans to finish the roofing project during Fall 2010. This 

success story will be updated in 2011 to include any energy‐saving 

benefits noticed during the first year.

Airless Application Equipment: This product may be brushed, rolled or sprayed. When using spray equipment, it is important that the following criteria are met: When using a spray pump, a 45:1 fluid to air ratio capable of delivering 2-1/2 gallons or more per minute continuous is needed, as well as a filter screen of 30 mesh or smaller. If a fluid spray hose is used, it should be high pressure with designed working pressure to handle maximum pressure delivered by the spray pump. Inside lining or tube should be of such a material so it is unaffected by the coating and any solvents used for clean up. Additionally, the following criteria should be used for hoses: 3/8” minimum I.D. up to 75 feet; 1/2" minimum I.D. up to 200 feet; and 3/4" minimum I.D. over 200 feet. The larger I.D. sections of hose should be used from the pump out in all circumstances with additional hose size reductions as necessary. Material temperature should be 70°F or higher. In colder temperatures, material may require thermal assistance, such as heated hoses or band heaters to maintain the minimum temperature of 70°F.

If a gun hose whip is used, high pressure with adequate W.P.S.I. 3/8” I.D. X 6 feet with an appropriate lining or tube is recommended. When using a spray gun, we recommend the listed spray equipment on this page that is commercial grade. High-pressure gun swivels are available and can reduce operator fatigue. Any spray tip should be a reversible self-cleaning type with an orifice size of .021 to .027 with a fan angle of 40 to 50 degrees. Always use components rated for pump pressures.

Cleanup Instructions: Clean up spills and spatters immediately with biodegradable citrus turpentine. After cleaning, flush spray equipment with water followed by propylene glycol to prevent unit from rusting. A substitution cleaner may be odorless mineral spirits, baby oil or ARC”s equipment cleaner.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS: Do not get on skin or in eyes. Can cause severe burns. Wear protective eye and skin coverings. Avoid breathing fumes and prolonged contact with skin. Do not ingest. Keep containers coved when not in use. When using, provide proper ventilation. Refer to the MSDS sheet before use. For Chemical emergencies, spills, leaks, exposure, or accidents CALL: CHEMTREC

COLOR Standard colors are U.S. EPA Energy Star® and CRRC rated highly solar reflective white, light gray, light tan. Custom colors are available upon request for a nominal fee. All colors must be mixed prior to application to assure that pigments have not settled.

STORAGE STABILITY One-year minimum when stored in unopened containers at 45° F - 90° F

CLEAN UP Mineral Spirits (California Rule 66 MS recommended); aMAIZEing™ Biobased Solvent & Stripper.

PRIMER None necessary.

CURE TIMES When applied at 30 wet mils, coating thickness and at conditions of 75° F (24° C) and 50% relative humidity, ELMS® PLATINUM Liquid Membrane™ will dry to the touch in 1 to 2 hours and should reach final cure in 24 hours. Colder weather and/or higher humidity will retard curing whereas warmer weather and/or lower humidity will accelerate curing.

APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS ELMS® PLATINUM Liquid Membrane™ is a high solids biobased urethane that requires an ideal product temperature range for proper application. Thorough mixing of each container is mandatory. After mixing, please allow product to sit for 5-10 minutes to allow trapped air to evacuate container to protect against product pinholes when applied . Electric pail and drum warmers are highly recommended to maintain ideal working temperatures. A physical product temperature of 65ºF-70ºF is the lowest ideal working temperature. The coating has flow and a good working viscosity for even mil coverage. Smooth modified can be covered at 2.0 gal/sq and granulated or alligatored surfaces can be applied at 2.5 gal/sq at this temperature range. A physical product temperature of 85ºF-90ºF has a much lower viscosity (similar to ELMS® 50) and is highly recommended to ease application. This temperature range gives an even coverage of the roller when dipped and rolls out easily. Note: It is important that the material’s temperature is above 65ºF and not just the ambient air temperature. This 65ºF minimum temperature range will guarantee the best working conditions for applying the product.

Brush, roller, or conventional airless spray equipment may be used to apply ELMS® PLATINUM Liquid Membrane™. Though cold weather applications do not deter the usage of the ELMS® PLATINUM Liquid Membrane™ product on a properly prepared and dry surface, application lower then 30° F may deter the use of spray equipment due to viscosity changes at lower temperatures. For airless spray application, ELMS® PLATINUM Liquid Membrane™ can be sprayed at pressures above 3000 psi. A "typical" airless spray unit would consist of the following:

• A material transfer pump for air motor driven sprayers: 1:1-5:1 compression ratios or a drum siphon for self-contained gas-hydraulic sprayers. • Basic spray pump capable of developing a minimum of 3000 psi working pressure. • 200 - 300 ft. of 1/2" high-pressure hose, 3/8" whip optional. Please consult equipment manufacturer for proper tip size for your application. NOTE: Any airless spray gun designed to operate in the same working spray unit contemplated for use with Green Products, LLC coatings should be used only by experienced professional spray mechanics trained in the safe operation of the high-pressure airless equipment. All equipment should conform to the most recent OSHA safety standard. Contact Green Products, LLC regarding specific application criteria and instruction.

3.2 PROTECTION

A. The overspray and/or solvents from sprayed polyure-thane foam and protective coating materials can carry considerable distances and care should be taken to do the following:1. Post warning signs noting potential overspray haz-

ard within 100' of work area.2. Mask off or cover all air intakes near the work area

to prevent odors from entering occupied areas of the building or structure.

B. All surfaces not to receive system specified shall be pro-tected from overspray hazard i.e. windows, doors, exte-rior and vehicles. Protective coverings shall be secured against wind.

3.3 SURFACE PREPARATION

A. Built-Up Roof1. All loose gravel, dust and residue shall be removed

using power vacuum equipment, power sweeper, air blowing, or other suitable means.

2. The roof shall be thoroughly inspected or tested to determine if moisture is present within the roof as-sembly. Saturated insulation must be removed and replaced with compatible materials.

3. The existing roof shall be thoroughly inspected for adhesion between felts, insulation, and deck. Areas of poor adhesion should be fastened. Blisters, buck-les, wrinkles and fishmouths shall be cut out and/or fastened.

4. All soft mastic or other materials that impede poly-urethane foam adhesion shall be removed.

5. Remove or refasten all loose base flashing, counter flashing and gravel stops as required.

6. Existing expansion joints should be inspected and repaired as necessary.

7. Electrical and mechanical conduits should be relo-cated or raised above the finished roof surface.

B. Metal Deck1. Metal surfaces to be foamed shall be free of rust, loose

scale, dust, dirt, grease, oil or other contaminants.2. Grease, oil or other obvious contaminants must be

removed by tri-sodium phosphate and water or other solutions as required by job conditions. Remove all cleaning solutions with plenty of fresh water.

3. Metal surfaces having loose scale or rust must be cleaned and primed with metal primer prior to poly-urethane foam application as job conditions dictate. Contact NEOGARD for primer recommendations.

4. Fluted metal decks require a suitable method of cov-ering or filling the flutes prior to polyurethane foam application. Flutes may be covered with mechani-cally fastened board stock or filled with precut board stock or spray applied polyurethane foam.

C. Concrete1. Remove loose dirt, dust and debris by using com-

pressed air, vacuum equipment or brooming. Oil, grease, form release agents or other contaminants shall be removed with proper cleaning solutions.

2. Priming is required on concrete surfaces, and it is recommended that poured concrete decks be per-mitted to cure for twenty-eight (28) days prior to the application of primer or sprayed polyurethane foam. Consult polyurethane foam manufacturer for primer recommendations.

3. All joint openings in concrete decks that exceed 1/4 inch shall be grouted or caulked and allowed to thor-oughly cure prior to application of primer or sprayed polyurethane foam.

4. The PERMATHANE™ II FR BIO roofing system is not recommended for lightweight or insulating con-cretes unless tests have been made to determine that adequate adhesion can be obtained or unless an overlayment is installed.

D. Wood1. Plywood shall be exterior grade not less than 1/2

inch thick, nailed firmly in place. Attachment must meet building code requirements for resistance to wind uplift.

2. Plywood shall contain no more than 18% water, as measured in accordance with ASTM D4444, or ASTM D4442.

3. Deck shall be free of loose dirt, grease, oil or other contaminants prior to priming or foam application. Remove loose dirt or debris by use of compressed air, vacuum or brooming. No washing shall be per-mitted.

4. All untreated and unpainted surfaces shall be primed with an exterior grade primer. Priming is required to minimize moisture absorption and eliminate poten-tial polyurethane foam adhesion problems. Contact polyurethane foam manufacturer for primer recom-mendations.

5. Plywood joints in excess of 1/4 inch shall be taped or filled with a suitable sealant material. If sealant material is used, allow to thoroughly cure prior to ap-plication of primer or sprayed polyurethane foam.

6. Tongue & Groove, Sheathing, Planking: Due to the frequency of joints, possibility of variable openings and effects of aging and shrinking, these surfaces must be overlaid with a minimum of ¼ inch thick ex-terior grade plywood or suitable covering.

E. Other Surfaces (i.e. Gypsum Board, Isocyanurate Board)1. These materials are generally used over fluted metal

decks and must be fastened to achieve necessary wind uplift requirements.

2. Boards shall be firmly butted together along all edg-es without gaps or openings. Joints exceeding ¼ inch shall be caulked with a suitable sealant mate-rial. Allow sealant to thoroughly cure prior to applica-tion of primer or sprayed polyurethane foam.

3. Special care must be taken to prevent these materi-als from getting wet in storage on the job site and after installation prior to being protected by polyure-thane foam. Moisture exposure will damage these materials and may be a cause for replacement.

4. Remove loose dirt and debris by using compressed air, vacuum or light brooming. No power brooming is permitted due to possibility of damage.

5. The installed materials shall be protected from spills of contaminants such as oil, grease, solvents, etc., as these materials cause soiling that cannot be read-ily removed from the board surfaces.

3.4 SPRAYED POLYURETHANE FOAM APPLICATION

A. Application Techniques: Techniques used to apply poly-urethane foam to roof assembly shall be those recom-mended by the manufacturer of the polyurethane foam system.

B. Equipment: Equipment used shall be recommended by the manufacturer of the polyurethane foam system.

C. Tolerance: A multiple pass application of polyurethane foam is to be made in accordance with the polyurethane foam manufacturer's specifications and application pro-cedures to reach the specified thickness. A tolerance of +1/4" - 0" per 1" thickness is acceptable.

D. Texture of Surface: Polyurethane foam surface texture may range from smooth orange peel to verge of popcorn and be acceptable. “Popcorn” surfaces are unacceptable and must be reworked. Note: Texture of polyurethane foam surfaces directly affects coating coverage rates.

E. Details: Use of sprayed polyurethane foam at cants is recommended.

F. Polyurethane foam application shall be limited to an area which can be completed to full foam thickness in one day and base coat applied the same day. Consult the foam manufacturer for minimum curing time before application of the base coat.

G. If polyurethane foam is not coated within 72 hours, surface shall be examined for surface oxidation and moisture contamination. If oxidation or contamination exists, contact polyurethane foam manufacturer for recommendations.

H. The polyurethane foam surface shall be free of moisture, frost, dust, debris, oils, tars, grease or other materials that will impair adhesion of the protective coating.

3.5 PROTECTIVE COATING APPLICATION

A. Base Coat: The base coat shall be applied the same day as the polyurethane foam application when possible. Apply 70620-BIO base coat in a uniform thickness at the rate of 2 gallons per 100 square feet in a minimum of 2 coats to yield an average thickness of 24 dry mils in strict

accordance with procedures outlined by NEOGARD and allow to cure.

B. Topcoat: Apply 70613-BIO topcoat in a uniform thick-ness at the rate of 2 gallons per 100 square feet in a minimum of 2 coats to yield an average thickness of 24 dry mils in strict accordance with application procedures outlined by NEOGARD.

geneRAl ApplicATion guidelinesPreparation: Surface should be sound, clean and dry. Remove

flaking, peeling and loose material. If mold and mildew are pres-ent, they must be removed before coating with Roof-kote. Use a suitable fungicide cleaner or liquid bleach solution. Once the mold and mildew has been completely removed, rinse the surface with water and allow it to dry thoroughly before coating with Roof-kote. For proper maintenance, the roof can be power-washed with up to 3000 psi to remove mold and mildew as well as other dirt and air-borne contaminants.

Patching: Patch all seams, breaks, leaks and problem areas with Tuff-kote and Tuffglass Fabric before coating.

Priming: Some substrates may require priming of the surface with Primer-kote prior to coating (including tar and asphalt and new concrete). Allow Primer-kote to cure for 24 hours before coat-ing with Roof-kote. Refer to the Primer-kote product specification sheet for more information.

Application: Mix product thoroughly before using. Do not thin. Product warranty is voided if product is altered in any way. Keep lid tightly sealed after opening to prevent skin formation, stir again before each use. If skin forms, remove completely prior to mixing. Apply one thick coat at 40 wet mils (cures to dry film thickness of 32 mils). Always use a wet film gauge to ensure the proper mil thickness has been applied. Temperature range

TEMPERATURE Air and Surface: 40°F Minimum/140°F Maximum Material (spray): 100°F Minimum/140°F Maximum Material (Non-spray): 80°F Minimum/140°F Maximum

RELATIVE HUMIDITY Can be applied at relative humidity up to 90%

DO NOT APPLY WHEN THE TEMPERATURE CAN FALL TO WITHIN 5°F OF THE DEW POINT WITHIN 6 HOURS.

This product cures by flashing solvents. It is very important that this product is not used when weather conditions are below 20°F or when there is a chance that the temperature could fall below 20°F within a 24 hour period after application. Do not apply this product if rain or dew is likely to occur before drying of product. Late afternoon application is not recommended if high humidity conditions exist, which could cause high moisture concentration of the surface overnight. BRUSH: No reduction necessary. Use nylon/polyester brush.

Do not over-brush as material may start to pull. ROLLER: No reduction necessary. Use 1/2” to 1-1/2” nap

synthetic rollers. Keep a wet edge to avoid ripping which may change appearance. If ripping is a problem, extend lap time to after materials have skinned. Avoid rapid rolling which causes bubbling.

AIRLESS SPRAY-VOLUME: Output: 2.5 – 3 gal. per min. Pressure: 4,000 – 7,250 psi Spray Gun: Graco – Contractor rated for pressure Fan/Tip: 12/.031 -12/.037 reversible Extension: 12” – 36” gun extension recommended

SPECIAL CONDITIONS This product should only be applied with a working material temperature of at least 80°F when roller or squeegee application and at least 100°F when spraying. For best results, keep material temperature at a range of 120°F – 135°F. A heating band is recommended at all times to maintain optimum spray ability.

Mildew:

• Must be removed by power washing and broom scrubbing with a solution of bleach or detergent and water. Rinse clean and dry.

Ponding Water: • U.S. Ply, Inc.’s Warranties do not cover damage due to

ponding water. • Coatings should not be applied on roofs collecting ponding

water which stands longer than 48 hours. The National Roofing Contractors Association considers ponding water on any roof unacceptable. (See the NRCA Roofing and Waterproofing Manual).

• Please consult U.S. Ply, Inc.’s Technical Department for any specific questions regarding the application of this product.

Surface Preparation: All surfaces to be coated must be clean, dry, and paintable. It may be necessary to power wash and/or prime to enhance adhesion. See application specification for more details.

Mixing Procedures: No thinning or reducing is necessary. Product may separate after shipping and storage, though it may still look mixed. When mixing becomes necessary we recommend the use of a 3/4 horsepower or larger electric or air operated mixer with a blade capable of uniformly mixing the entire container. When product is in 5-gallon pails, use a 3” minimum diameter mixing blade. When product is in drums, use a 6” minimum diameter mixing blade.

Application Equipment: This product may be sprayed, squeegeed, or rolled. When using spray equipment, it is important that the following criteria are met: When using a spray pump, an air assisted pump 40:1 or greater fluid to air ratio capable of delivering 2-1/2 gallons or more per minute continuous is needed, the aluminum window screen should be removed. For best results when using a fluid spray hose, it should be high pressure with designed working pressure to handle maximum pressure delivered by the spray pump. Inside lining or tube should be of such a material so it is unaffected by the coating and any solvents used for clean up. Additionally, the following criteria should be used for hoses: 3/8” ID whip connected to the gun followed by a 1/2“ - 3/4” minimum I.D. up to 200 feet. The larger I.D. sections of hose should be used from the pump out in all circumstances with additional hose size reductions as necessary. Material temperature should be a minimum of 100°F or higher when spraying. In all conditions, material requires thermal assistance, such as heated hoses or band heaters to maintain the minimum material temperature and proper yields.

When using a spray gun, high-pressure gun swivels are available and can reduce operator fatigue. Any spray tip should be a reversible self-cleaning type with an orifice size of .031 to .037 with a fan angle of 40 to 50 degrees. Always use components rated for pump pressures.

Cleanup Instructions: Clean up spills and spatters immediately with biodegradable citrus cleaning products. After cleaning, flush spray equipment with USP All Season Cleaning Solvent.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS: Refer to the MSDS sheet before use. For Chemical emergencies, spills, leaks, exposure, or accidents CALL: CHEMTREC DAY/NIGHT 1-800-424-9300.

Storage ____________________________________________________________________

n Warning VFI-540 Aluminum is sensitive to moisture. Store in a dry place between 45° and 85°F. Shelf life is six months for the “A” Side (Iso) and one year for the “B” Side (Poly) in original unopened containers. All containers must be sealed when not in use. Containers

that have been opened should be used within one week. To prolong the shelf life of opened containers, it is recommended that a blanket of nitrogen be applied to the container or desiccant cartridge inserted into the container opening.

VFI-540 / Updated 01/2008PAGE 2

Application ________________________________________________________________

n Mixing Care should be taken to ensure proper mixing of VFI-540 Aluminum. Drums must be power mixed. Mix all “A” Side (Iso) drums with a 1½ horsepower air driven mixer (do not use auger type mixer) for a minimum of 15 to 45 minutes depending upon the temperature of the product on the day of application. The shaft must have collapsible blades to fit through the bung opening in the drum and should be long enough to reach the bottom of the drum. Three or four drums of the “A” Side (Iso) can be mixed in an hour when you start up in the morning. The ultra violet protection in VFI-540 Aluminum coating is aluminum paste. The aluminum paste settles to the bottom of the drum during shipment and storage. Therefore, the “A” Side (Iso) drum has to be thoroughly mixed before spraying; otherwise the aluminum paste will be left on the bottom of the drum. Product sprayed with aluminum paste still on the bottom of the drum will not perform as designed and the coating will not last as long. The coating finish may also appear streaky if all drums are not mixed properly.

n Thinning Do not thin.

n Equipment Plural component spray equipment capable of maintaining a constant temperature of 140° - 160°F, 1500 psi minimum pressure and a 1:1 volume mix ratio. Through testing, it has been determined that installation at the proper temperature of 150° to 160°F, 2000 psi minimum pressure at the gun will produce the optimum membrane.

n ReactivityTack free time is 10-30 seconds when sprayed with hot plural component airless spray equipment.

n Cure TimeApplied coating will set in 2-10 minutes at 70°F, depending on the film thickness and substrate temperature. Product can be placed into service after four hours of cure time at 70°F minimum.

n Surface PreparationPlease refer to VFI Roofing Specifications relating to your particular project.

n Surface Preparation for Asphalt ContaminationMaterial applied over thick uncured asphalt will cause bleed through and possible delamination. We even find “black jack” type products on metal roofs, where repairs were attempted around stacks, units and even on seams and fasteners to be a problem. Whether the asphalt is totally cured or not has to be the contractor’s determination, NOT Volatile Free, Inc.’s. If the asphalt product is old, hard and totally cured out, there is no problem going right over it with VFI-540 Aluminum. If the asphalt is soft and you can move it with your finger, it is not totally cured. This means that there still might be oil present that could leach out and cause discoloration and/or delamination. If the asphalt is not too thick and you see no signs of oil, we have found it extremely helpful to coat those areas with 1 to 1½ gallons per 100 sq. ft. of our VFI-550 Aluminum Single Component Moisture Cured Urethane. Let the VFI-550 Aluminum cure and then recoat with VFI-540 Aluminum. This forms a barrier between the asphalt and VFI-540 Aluminum. If the asphalt is too thick or uncured, it must be removed.

n Storage When High Humidity Is PresentUpon opening of the “A” Side, one of the two following procedures must be followed:

n Desiccant CartridgeUpon opening of the “A” Side for use, a desiccant cartridge should be inserted into one of the bung openings and the transfer pump tightly sealed in the other. To store unused portion of material, remove transfer pump and reseal drum plug. Leave desiccant cartridge in the drum during storage.

When contents of the drum have been used, the desiccant cartridge can be used on another drum. You can continue to transfer the cartridge from drum to drum until the color indicates replacement.

n Nitrogen BlanketNitrogen being heavier than air, can be put into a partially filled drum of the “A” Side forming a protective layer which will prevent any moisture from reaching the material in the drum. It takes only a small quantity of the nitrogen to form this layer and it will not mix with or contaminate the Iso.

Roof Membranes

Introduction

In addition to the multiple roof coating choices, there is also the option of applying a biobased roofing

membrane. Membranes serve the same purpose as the roof coatings—they seal out water and lower

the temperature of the building. The main difference is that membranes are a dry sheet that can be

applied to the roof with adhesive rather than being rolled or sprayed onto the roof. Like the roof

coatings, many of these products are fire, impact, mold, mildew, and rust resistant. These products are

designed to be durable and are highly tear resistant, which helps keep maintenance to a minimum.

Different membranes have different roofing substrates to which they can be applied, but as a whole,

membranes can be applied to almost any surface given the proper adhesive or polyurethane foam

application. Some of these products are designed to be cap sheets, which are the top layers of a

membrane roofing system, while others are base sheets and need to have other roofing materials

applied over them.

Additional product information can be attained through the manufacturers directly or by contacting

StressPlyt E (Environmental) Membraness i n c e 1 I e 5 StressPly E . StressPly E FR Mineral

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

StressPly E membranes feature a unique combination ofrubber-modified asphalt together with selected reinforcementlayers. The result is a high strength, puncture and fatigue re-sistant, rubber-modified membrane designed for applicationas the waterproofing and reinforcement layer of a modifiedbuilt-up roofing system. lt provides long-term performancein all types of new or retrofit construction uses,

StressPly membranes are made up of Styrene-Butadiene-Styrene and Styrene-lsoprene-Styrene (SBS+SIS).Theserubber-modified membranes utilize KevlaP fibers and a dualpolyester and fiberglass combination reinforcement that offersthe inherent strength and heat stability of fiberglass along withthe ability of polyester to conform.

PRODUCT ADUANTAGES

Environmentally Friendly - Waste tire disposal is a seriousenvironmental problem. StressPly E membranes benefiteveryone by utilizing post-consumer scrap from tires in theroofing compound. In addition, StressPly E utilizes recycledboiler slag as the surfacing in non-mineral membranes divertingmaterials away from landfills. With absolutely no sacrifice inquality, StressPly E membranes maintain Gadand's reputationas a manufacturer of high-performance roofing systems whilebenefiting the environment.

Soy-Based Technology - StressPly E reduces our reliance ontraditional petroleum-based technologies by incorporating soy-based products flexibilityand performance, The incorporationof soy in StressPly E introduces a rapidly renewable resource,further enhancing the sustainability of the membrane,

Unmatched Rubber Technology - StressPly E membranesprovide unmatched durability. The SBS rubberaffords superiorlow temperature flexibility and long-term weathering charac-teristics. The SIS rubber dramatically increases the overalllife expectancy of the modified membrane. When SBS andSIS are combined, the result is a superior high-performanceroof membrane.
