ROOFAB

ROOFAB is an extremely strong, stitchbonded, polyester reinforcing fabric that is compatible with all Andek liquid-applied coatings. It is embedded into coatings during application to boost cured membrane strength and absorb stress. ROOFAB possesses exceptional tensile, tear and elongation properties.

OUTSTANDING FEATURES:

§ Can be used with all Andek liquid-applied coatings

§ Significantly boosts strength of coatings with parallel fiber technology

§ Saturates quickly and evenly during application

§ Conforms easily around contours and irregular surfaces

§ Resists microbiological and fungal attack; will not rot

§ Remains tough and flexible at low temperatures

§ May be used on vertical, pitched and horizontal surfaces

§ Easy to cut with scissors or utility knife

§ Maintains excellent dimensional stability

§ Enables coatings to bridge substrate cracks and junctions

§ Will accommodate thermal shock during rapid temperature cycling

§ Resists splits and tears from impact penetration

§ Will not embrittle, shatter or lose strength with environmental extremes

§ Warrantied for 10 years

§ Available in rolls 321 ft long; widths range from 4" to 40"

Prepare the substrate and apply a coat of the liquid roof coating as outlined in the coating’s application instructions. Roofab should be unrolled and thoroughly worked into the newly applied wet coating. Be sure to eliminate voids and pockets. If necessary, apply additional coating directly onto the Roofab to thoroughly saturate the fabric. Roofab needs to be saturated with enough coating so that the fabric is visibly wet with coating on both its top and bottom sides. This insures both proper bond and watertightness. No fabric areas should be left uncoated. Cutting is best accomplished with scissors. Full width rolls should be overlapped along the laplines and sufficient coating used to adequately saturate both layers of Roofab and avoid fishmouths. Saturated Roofab with wrinkles should be pulled on carefully to remove wrinkles, but do not stretch the fabric. When laying into corners, Roofab must be cut to fit; otherwise, its elasticity will pull it back out again. Some situations may require the Roofab to be anchored with staples to the substrate while the coating cures to prevent slippage.

Newly applied and coated Roofab should not be walked on until it is thoroughly dry. Do not allow any uncoated areas or sections of Roofab to remain exposed.

Any damaged areas can be repaired with Roofab to the necessary size and shape to fit the repair. Next, apply fresh coating (or primer and coating) to the repair area. Finally, embed the Roofab and immediately topcoat the entire area with coating. Allow the repair to fully cure.

There are no known health hazards associated with Roofab. The coatings that are used with Roofab may involve hazards that should be evaluated separately and prior to their use. For additional information, contact Andek’s Technical Department.
