Characteristics
Elasto-Barrier® is a waterborne elastomeric primer primarily used
for roofs. Elasto-Barrier® can be used in areas subjected to ponding
water, and in conjunction with embedding fabrics to reinforce roof
areas. Elasto-Barrier® must be top coated with a suitable Ames®
UV-Resistant product.

Surface Preparation
Pressure-wash or scrub, and rinse existing roof with clean water.
Do not use soap or detergent. Surface must be totally dry before
beginning work/coating
Application Methods
Apply between 50° - 90° F on a warm dry surface. Surface
temperature must be 5° F higher than the dew point and rising
• Brush: Nylon/polyester
• Roller: 3/8" - 1/2" nap nylon/polyester
• Sprayer: Always use airless equipment (see spray application
section for details)
Application Instructions
• Check existing fasteners at flashings, nailed down cap sheet
seams, and other roof mounted items refastening or replacin
g
f
asteners as needed
• On all roof types: overlapped seams between roof sheeting,
flashing details, mechanical equipment curbs, pitch pockets,
cable mounts and drain transitions all need to be counter flashed
with polyester fabric installed into a wet bed of Elasto-Barrier®
• Allow embedded flashing details to dry 24 hours before
beginning first body coat of Elasto-Barrier®
• Apply 1
st
coat of Elasto-Barrier® at a rate of 66 sq. ft./gal. and allow
to dry a minimum of 8 hours. Note: If the substrate is rough or
irregular an additional coat applied at 66 sq. ft/gal may be
required
• After waterproofing layer(s) have dried, apply a 2
nd
coat of Elasto-
Barrier® at a rate of 90 sq. ft./gal. While wet, roll out a layer of
reinforcing polyester fabric into the wet material, remove air
pockets and wrinkles, overlap the fabric a minimum of 4 inches
and roll over the still wet embedded fabric to completely saturate
the fabric as needed up to 220 sq. ft./gal.
• Once the embedded polyester fabric has dried a recommended
24 hours, apply a 3
rd
coat of Elasto-Barrier® at a rate of 66 sq. ft/gal
• The Elasto-Barrier® Fabric Reinforced System should measure 30
mils dry film thickness when properly applied. Always check
previously applied coat for dryness before walking on the coating
surface
• Some areas may appear to be dry – be cautioned that areas of
spray overlap, or additional thickness may take longer to dry. Dry
times are dependent on weather conditions
• A mil gauge (wet mil gauge) should be used to check the
thickness during application of each coat
• As with all construction materials, care should be taken to protect
membrane against being soiled or punctured prior to the
installation of subsequent products
• After 72 hours of exposure, protect from UV exposure by direct
sunlight
Spray Application
• Airless Equipment sizing should be a flow rate of 1.5 to 2 GPM,
2500 to 3000psi, Heavy Duty Reverse-clean tip (without diffuser
pin) sizes 629 (12” fan .029 orifice size) to 633 (12” fan -033 orifice
size) Hose size 3/4” reduced to 1/2” before connection to gun
swivel.
• If airless has a machine filter in addition to the intake rock screen
we recommend either a 40-mesh filter or temporarily removing
the machine filter cartridge altogether.
• Airless equipment should be cleaned after use without delay
