Roof Coat Elastomeric Coating
September 2016, supercedes January 2016
United Coatings
™
Roof Coat Elastomeric Coating
adheres to a variety of substrates, including granulated
BUR, SBS & APP, metal, wood, and concrete.
Advantages:
• High Reflectivity 84% ... Helps save energy
costs by reflecting heat away from the building
• Water-based and Low VOC... Approved for use
even in states with tough UV standards
• Versatile... Can be applied by roller, brush, or
airless sprayer
BASIC USES & ADVANTAGES
5-gallon (18.9 liter) pail
55-gallon (208 liter) drum
Shelf life: 18 months from date of manufacture in unopened
containers, if stored properly in a clean, covered, and
well-ventilated area at 40°F - 90°F (4°C - 32.2°C). Storage
outside this temperature range may shorten shelf life. Keep
containers covered when not in use. Do not allow coating
to freeze.
PACKAGING & SHELF LIFE
United Coatings
™
Roof Coat Elastomeric Coating is a
water-based acrylic coating. High reflectivity combined with
good weatherability, ultraviolet resistance, adhesion, and
ease of application make Roof Coat Elastomeric Coat-
ing an effective coating for providing long-term reflectivity
over a wide range of roofing substrates. The high reflectivity
of Roof Coat Elastomeric Coating keeps the roof
substrate cool, which not only helps prolong its longevity but
also helps save on energy costs. Roof Coat Elastomeric
Coating’s rich consistency uniformly covers the textured
profile of various substrates, forming a flexible monolithic
membrane that provides protection from normal weathering,
aging, and ultraviolet exposure.
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Substrate Preparation: Clean and prepare surfaces to
receive coating by removing all loose and flaking particles,
grease, and laitance with the use of a stiff-bristle push
broom and/or pressure-washing. Be sure that the substrate
is dry before applying the coating. Rusty or deteriorated
substrates must be primed with Acrylex 400 Primer
or equal.
Mixing: Thoroughly mix using a power mixer for a
minimum of 5 minutes prior to application. For 5-gallon
(18.9 L) pails, use a 3" (76 mm) minimum diameter mixing
blade; for 55-gallon (208 L) drum, use a 6" (152 mm)
minimum diameter blade.
Application: United Coatings
™
Roof Coat Elasto-
meric Coating may be applied by brush, roller, or airless
sprayer. Apply evenly at a rate of 1.0 – 1.5 gallons/100
ft² (4.08 – 6.11L/ 10 m
2
) per coat with a minimum of two
coats. Total coverage should be between 2.0 – 3.0 gal-
lons/100 ft
2
(8.15 – 12.22 L/10 m
2
) and is dependent on the
substrate. Smooth substrates will require less coating, while
rough or porous substrates require more coating.
Total dry mil thickness should be between 16 – 24 mils
(0.4 mm – 0.61 mm).
Spray Application: Use an airless spray pump with a
1 gallon per-minute (3.8 L/minute) output and 2,000 psi
(13,790 kPa) pressure capability. Use a reversible, self-clean-
ing tip with orifice size 0.027" – 0.039" (0.69 – 0.99 mm)
and a fan angle of 40° to 50°. Filter screens should be 30
mesh or larger. Use a 3/8" (9.5 mm) minimum inside diam-
eter, nylon high-pressure-type hose for lengths up to 75 ft.
(23 m) from pump. For 75 ft. – 200 ft. (23 – 51 m), use ½"
(12.7 mm) inside diameter hose added to pump side of exist-
ing 3/8" (9.5 mm) hose to maintain pressure and delivery.
Additional coats may be applied as soon as the previous
coat is dry enough to walk on and should be applied perpen-
dicular to the previous coat to ensure proper coverage.
