POLAROOF RAC is a single component urethane, modified with bright aluminum flakes and fire retardant chemicals. It is especially designed as a waterproofing membrane for all kinds of roofing. POLAROOF RAC is tough and elastic with a high tensile strength and good puncture resistance, and contains corrosion-inhibiting pigments for protection against rust and acid rain. POLAROOF RAC is approved by Underwriters Laboratories® (UL) and Factory Mutual Research Corporation® (FM).
- Produces a fully adhered, seamless, high density, waterproofing membrane.
- Helps reduce energy costs by providing both solar reflection and radiant heat reflection.
- Extends the life of the roof.
- Protects substrate against rust, corrosion, UV damage and acid rain.
- 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 old roofing materials, saving time and money.
- Produces a waterproof surface that will not be deteriorated by fungal growth or algae.
- Remains flexible, tough and weatherproof at low temperatures and will not flow at high temperatures.
- Rapidly develops high tensile strength.
- Will not re-emulsify or wash away with rainwater.
- Will not become brittle and crack with age.
- Can easily be recoated.
Can be used over asphalt BUR, coal tar BUR, concrete, EPDM, glass, insulation, metals, modified bitumen, plywood, PUF, PVC/TPO/hypalon, single-sly, slate/tile and others.
Surfaces must be dry, free of dirt, loose debris, oils, grease or any substance that could interfere with adhesion. Refer to the 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 RAC 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 RAC that they are encapsulated to the point of rundown. As soon as the POLAROOF RAC has dried, it may be coated with RAC or other compatible topcoat. Application over E.P.D.M., modified and other rubber roofs requires the preparation detailed above, including reinforcement of seams. Some rubbers will swell slightly immediately upon application. This is normal, the adhesion process is complete when the original dimensions have returned. New urethane foam should receive 2 coats of RAC at 15 mils wet thickness per coat to be sure that no foam is exposed to pinholes or holidays. Previously produce a mottled, dull appearance that is not detrimental to its overall performance. POLAROOF RAC should never be applied to a wet or damp surface, or pinholes may result.
Use Xylene or Aromatic Naptha.
Shelf life is 12 months in unopened cans. Part-full cans should be avoided. Storage must be out of direct sunlight at below 90°F to avoid skinning.
Damaged areas may be repaired by cleaning surface and application of POLAROOF RAC as described in Application section.
Contains solvent and reactive isocyanates. Read MSDS thoroughly before using. Do not get on skin or in eyes. Do not ingest or inhale vapor.
Make sure that 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 clothing is contaminated, discard. If ingested, do NOT induce vomiting and seek medical attention. If inhaled, remove person to fresh air.
