SURFACE PREPARATION
All surfaces must be clean, dry, and free of oil, grease, or other
contaminants. Power washing is recommended. All loose seams or tears
should be sealed with Protecta-Sealer and coated with coating. On
black surfaces, allow the first coat to cure for three days before
top-coating with last coat.
APPLICATION
Protecta-Ply 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-Ply may be applied by spray, brush, or roller. For spray
application, use a 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 in two coats, allowing
the first coat to cure. Additional coats are recommended for badly-torn,
pin-holed, or sun-burned single-ply membranes.
* Consult the Technical Department for information on application
over smooth built-up roofs.
