ROOFDX SUPER is an excellent, liquid-applied, urethane, waterproofing coating that is designed for use over most common substrates. Possessing high tensile strength and superior puncture resistance, ROOFDX SUPER provides long-lasting waterproofing protection in all climatic extremes. ROOFDX SUPER combines advanced polyurethane technology with the superior corrosion resistance of micaceous iron oxide (metallic flakes) to provide barrier protection against rust.

 

OUTSTANDING FEATURES:

§         Can be used over BUR, rubber, wood, concrete, brick, masonry, copper, steel, aluminum, mineral composites, and others.

§         Produces a fully adhered, seamless, high density, waterproofing membrane.

§         Protects substrate against rust, corrosion, UV damage, acid rain, fats and grease.

§         Easy to apply straight out of the container by brush, roller, or airless spray.

§         May be used on vertical, pitched, and horizontal surfaces and withstands ponding water.

§         Lightweight membrane does not require removal of old roofing materials, saving time and money.

§         Remains flexible, tough, and weatherproof at low temperatures and will not flow at high temperatures.

§         Will not re-emulsify or wash away with rainwater.

§         Can easily be recoated.

§         Warrantied for 10 years

APPLICATION: 

Caution! READ THIS ENTIRE DATA SHEET BEFORE CONTINUING.

 

Surfaces must be dry, free of dirt, loose debris, grease, oil, or any substance that could interfere with adhesion. Refer to Polaprime data sheet for information regarding selection of appropriate primer if necessary. Application over seams in metal roofs is achieved by embedding 4” or 6" wide Roofab into a fresh coat of ROOFDX SUPER applied at 15 mils wet thickness.  The fabric is then saturated with a second application at sufficient thickness to remove all voids, fishmouths and dry spots.  Bolt heads on metal roofs should be daubed with sufficient ROOFDX SUPER that they are encapsulated to the point of rundown. As soon as the ROOFDX SUPER has dried, it may be coated with Silver Film or other compatible topcoat. Application over built-up or modified asphalt roofs requires good preparation as described above. If gravel is present, this should be removed by wet-vac or scraped off and pressure washed. Buildkote or compatible flood coat should be installed to soften the profile of embedded gravel. If the surface is slicktop, capsheet, or re-saturated, this should be vacuumed, blown or pressure washed until clean and, if excessively porous, primed with Polaprime 2. Application of RoofdX Super may proceed by embedding 40” Roofab into a fresh coat of ROOFDX SUPER applied 1½ gallons per roofing square (66 sq. ft. per gallon); the fabric should be smoothed out without stretching so that it conforms to the surface without voids, tents or dry  spots. Begin at the lowest point of the roof and each roll saturated with an even coat of ROOFDX SUPER at 1½ gallons per roofing square (66 sq. ft. per gallon) as soon as the first coat has soaked up and no wrinkles remain.  Enough material should be present at the overlap  that saturation occurs completely without fishmouths or dry spots. Continue application with laps facing downhill to shed water if work is interrupted by precipitation. Sudden precipitation will not wash RoofdX Super off when wet or newly applied, but will produce a mottled, dull appearance that is not detrimental to overall performance.  ROOFDX SUPER may be used as an adhesive at loose edges and will form all flashings and joints with the Roofab.  Black surfaces, by their nature, will absorb heat; this heat buildup causes expansion, followed by contraction as the surface cools. This constant expansion and contraction causes fatigue of the substrate including the roof beams, fasteners, and other building components. To reduce the intensity of this cyclic fatigue and to reduce demand for air conditioning by lowering temperatures, a coat of Silver Film or other compatible solar-reflective roof coating is recommended.

 

LIMITATIONS:

Storage must be out of direct sunlight at below 90°F to avoid skinning.

 

MAINTENANCE:

Damaged areas may be repaired by cleaning surface and application of ROOFDX SUPER and Roofab as described in the Application section.

 

PRECAUTIONS:

Contains solvents and reactive isocyanates.  Do not get on skin or eyes.  Do not ingest or inhale vapor.  Make sure vapor does not enter building.  If skin is contaminated, use suitable cleanser; if eyes are contaminated, wash with water for 15 minutes and seek medical attention.  If ingested, do NOT induce vomiting and seek immediate medical attention.
