ROOF PRIME™ is a transparent white, vinyl acrylic, elastomeric, waterproofing Primer Sealer. It is excellent to use if roof surface was previously coated or leaks were present. It is a waterborne latex based formula with a high concentration of waterproofing resin. This allows ROOF PRIME™ to bond, seal and waterproof most any exterior SLOPED roof surface. ROOF PRIME™ will help to seal and prevent leaks from forming, but is not guaranteed to do so. Excellent penetrating characteristics enables ROOF PRIME™ to penetrate the substrate, thereby bonding the finish coat to the prime coat. On non-porous surfaces, the high resin content provides excellent adhesion to the substrate, creating a tight bond between prime and finish coat which eliminates any moisture considerably extending the life of the finish coat. ROOF PRIME™ can be used prior to the application of most latex based roof coatings, but is specifically designed for use with our Finish Coat products which include KOOL-KOTE™, SNOWBRITE™ and INSULKOTE™

For residential, commercial and industrial applications. Excellent for Mobile Home Roofs.
SURFACE PREPARATION:
For proper adhesion it is essential that the surface is prepared properly. Clean Exterior Surfaces by thoroughly pressure washing with a water and chlorine solution using at least 1500 P.S.I. to remove any previous coatings, dirt, grease, and other foreign materials, especially mold, mildew and algae. Wire brush if necessary. ROOF PRIME™ will resist mildew growth, but will not kill mildew already on the surface. Rinse thoroughly. Apply only to sound, well prepared roof surfaces. Patch any holes, cracks, seams, imperfections, etc. with PERMAPATCH™ Waterproofing Caulk & Sealant. Tape and seal all seams with PERMATAPE™, Polyester Fabric Tape. For poorly conditioned, unsound or loose roof surfaces (loose gravel) where substrate is chipping, cracking or brittle, inquire about PERMABOND™ Tie & Bond Primer Sealer.
APPLICATION PROCEDURE:
Stir well before using. Do not thin, use product as is. Do not apply when temperatures are below 45 degrees Fahrenheit or when humidity is very high. Do not apply when coating will be subjected to rain or heavy dew before it has had enough time to dry (approx. 2 to 4 hours). Drying time will vary depending on temperature, humidity and location. Apply using brush, roller or spray. Spread primer uniformly. Spread Rate will vary depending on substrate. Apply primer between 10 to 16 mils wet film thickness. Wait at least 12 hours before applying a compatible finish coating.
SPRAYERS:
Use at least a 1 gallon per minute piston type airless sprayer with a minimum tip size of .025.
CLEAN UP:
Clean up all spills, tools and overspray immediately while the coating is still wet with warm soapy water.
