PROTECTA-METAL APPLICATION SHEET

AREAS OF USE

      • Top protective coating over properly-prepared metal roofs and sidewalls
      • Over metal tanks
      • As a protective barrier over most metal surfaces

SURFACE PROTECTION

If surface is covered with rust or a previous coating that is scaling, scrape or wire brush until a hard foundation is attained. Over heavily rusted areas, use a rust inhibitor. On lightly rusted areas, use a light coat of Protecta-Metal and allow to dry prior to applying top coat. Power washing surface is recommended to ensure proper cleaning and bonding of coating.

All surfaces must be clean, dry, and free of dust, dirt, and all foreign matter. Tighten and/or replace loose fasteners or bolts. All seams more than 1/16" wide and less than 1/8" wide must be sealed with Protecta-Sealer. Openings and joints wider than 1/8" should be covered with Protecta-Sealer or polyester fabric and sufficient coating. For long-lasting protection, a polyester fabric should be incorporated with the products. On asphaltic surfaces, coating must be allowed to cure for one week before top coating to minimize further bleed-through.

APPLICATION

Protecta-Metal is ready for use as it comes from the container. Do not thin. In cool weather, material may thicken, requiring warming by interior storage. DO NOT HEAT! Apply coating only to dry surfaces.

Protecta-Metal may be applied by spray, brush, or roller. For spray application, use an 0.030-0.035 orifice. Applied most effectively by air, gasoline, or electric-powered airless spray units such as Graco Model 733 or Speedflo HydraM 4000. Equivalent equipment from other manufacturers may also be used.

Clean up equipment with mineral spirits.

Apply when temperature is 40°F and rising. Wash-off resistance is dependent on temperature . . . 3-4 hours at 70°F, 12 at 40°F. Do not apply over moisture or frost.

COVERAGE RATES

Apply at a rate of 2 gallons per 100 square feet on metal surfaces. Additional protection may be achieved by applying 3 gallons per 100 square feet.
