*Note: When POLAROOF SP is used as a prime coat over PUF, only one coat of POLAROOF SP is required as a top coat at 1-1/2 gallons per 100 square feet.  POLAROOF SP is applied straight out of the can after 2 minutes of gentle low speed mixing or stirring. Apply the product using brush, roller or spray technique.  Apply in two coats to a uniform wet film thickness of about 20 mils per coat to insure complete coverage on the 2nd coat.  Apply the 2nd coat after the 1st coat has set (about 2-4 hours.  For spray applications, use a 30:1 ratio Graco with a #36 tip or similar equipment.  For soft brush or high nap roller application, use light pressure and coat in a cross direction to the 1st coat. For additional information, contact our Technical Department.

                                                        

LIMITATIONS:

Do not apply to frozen or saturated surfaces.  Do not apply if the temperature is predicted to drop below 35°F within 4 hours after application is completed.  Do not apply if rain is forecast within 4 hours of completion of application.  Protect Polaroof SP from freezing.  In roofing areas where water is likely to pond and be present for more than 1 day after precipitation, it is advisable to topcoat the Polaroof SP with Clearcoat 44 or Clearcoat AQ.  Apply the Clearcoat in these areas at a rate of 1 gallon per 200 square feet.

 

PRECAUTIONS: 

POLAROOF SP is an alkaline water-based product.  Avoid contact with skin and eyes.  In case of contact, immediately flush with water.  For eyes, get medical attention in addition to flushing.  Avoid inhalation of spray mist.  If spray mist is inhaled, seek immediate medical attention.  In case of ingestion, immediately contact a physician.  Wear rubber gloves, coveralls, and safety goggles when applying.

 

MAINTENANCE:

If surface becomes dirty or stained, wash with a mild soapy water solution.  If an area becomes nicked or cut, recoat with POLAROOF SP.  Clean tools and equipment with water before the POLAROOF SP dries; after that, solvent cleaning may be necessary.
