POLAROOF AC is a premium quality, waterproof, tough, elastic coating
with unique properties that extend the lifespan of most roofs. The
technology behind the formulation of this material uses acrylic
chemistry and advanced mineral design to create a composite coating
that forms a shield to protect against water penetration, corrosion,
and stress fatigue from thermal cycling. Long-term waterproofing is
maintained by tenacious adhesion to the substrate and flexibility
over a wide temperature range without cracking at low temperatures
or melting or flowing at high temperatures. The hydrophobic nature
of the mineral structure within the composite forms a barrier to
prevent the ion transfer that characterizes corrosion.
Additionally, the ability to suppress stress fatigue by absorbing
the heat energy and conversion through endothermic reaction will
significantly enhance the longevity of the roof structure.

Polaroof AC is an alkaline water-based product. Polaroof AC 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 24 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. 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 AC 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 AC with Clearcoat 44 or Clearcoat AQ. Apply the Clearcoat in these areas at the rate of 1 gallon per 200 square feet.
PRECAUTIONS:
Avoid contact with skin and eyes. In case of contact, immediately flush with water. For eyes, get medical attention 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 a surface becomes dirty or stained, wash with a mild soapy water solution. If an area becomes nicked or cut, recoat with Polaroof AC. Clean tools and equipment with water before the Polaroof AC dries; after that, solvent cleaning may be necessary.
