Roofdx Copper
Get the Look of Real Copper Coating without the Cost
Roofdx Copper is a premium, elastomeric “liquid copper” coating engineered to deliver the authentic appearance of sheet copper with the performance of a seamless, waterproofing membrane.
Formulated with 2 pounds of real copper flakes per gallon, Roofdx Copper creates a rich metallic finish that naturally develops a classic green patina over time – just like traditional copper roofing. For projects requiring a bright copper appearance, the surface may be sealed with Andek Clearcoat 44 topcoat to preserve its luster.

ROOFDX COPPER Application Guidelines
Surface Preparation
- Surfaces must be clean, dry, and free of dirt, loose debris, oil, grease, or any contaminants that may interfere with proper adhesion.
- Do not apply if substrate or ambient temperatures are expected to drop below 35°F (2°C) within 4 hours of application. The surface temperature must remain at least 5°F (3°C) above the dew point during application and curing.
Application
Do not apply ROOFDX COPPER to wet, damp, or frozen surfaces. Application must be protected from precipitation for a minimum of 4 hours.
Stir thoroughly for at least 2 minutes using a low-speed drill prior to application. Do not thin.
Apply in two coats using a soft brush, medium-nap roller, or airless spray equipment, maintaining a smooth and even application technique. When using a brush or roller, ensure final strokes are applied in the same direction to properly align the copper flakes for optimal appearance and performance.
Spray Application
Use a 30:1 airless pump with a 3/8″ short hose and a 33–37 tip size.
Recommended Thickness
20 mils dry film thickness (DFT).
Drying Time
Approximately 24–36 hours per coat at 70°F (21°C) and 70% relative humidity.
Clean-Up
Clean tools and equipment with xylene or toluene before the coating begins to dry.
Storage
Store in a dry area away from direct sunlight and protect from freezing. Keep containers tightly sealed.
Shelf life is up to 2 years from the date of manufacture when stored in original, unopened containers between 45°F (7°C) and 90°F (32°C).
Disposal
Dispose of waste in accordance with all applicable federal, state, and local environmental regulations. Incineration is the preferred method of disposal.
Safety Information
Read the product label and Safety Data Sheet (SDS) prior to use for important health and safety information.
Keep out of reach of children and pets.
