PERMAKOTE® SILVER SEAL Aluminum Roof Coating

HOW TO USE AN ALUMINUM ROOF COATING

PERMAKOTE® SILVER SEAL is a Rubberized aluminum look coating for most roofs. An Insulative and Reflective Ceramic, Waterproofing Protective Elastomeric Roof Coating. Originally designed for metal roofs to provide unmatched flexibility and resistance against harsh weather conditions. It forms a durable rubber-like ceramic shield of protection that expands and contracts with varying hot and cold temperatures, plus excellent resistance to thermal shock. PERMAKOTE® SILVER SEAL can reduce energy costs and can lower surface temperatures up to 100 degrees.

FINISHES: Matte, Satin or Semi-Gloss

PERMAKOTE® SILVER SEAL Uses:

Recommended for well draining, wood, metal, concrete and various other substrates. PERMAKOTE® SILVER SEAL is ideal for residential, commercial and industrial applications.

Surface Preparation (Residential & Commercial):

Apply only to a sound, completely dry, well prepared roof surface. Leaks must be repaired before any coating is applied. If primer was applied, it is essential that the primer surface is clean and dry and free of all moisture. If no primer was applied, prepare surface by thoroughly pressure washing with a water and chlorine mixture using at least 1500 P.S.I. to remove any previous coatings, dirt, grease, and other foreign materials, especially mold, mildew and algae. PERMAKOTE® SILVER SEAL will resist mildew growth, but will not kill mildew already on the surface. Patch any holes, cracks, flashings, valleys, vents, etc., with PERMAPATCH™, a Waterproof Caulk and Sealant. Tape & seal all seams with PERMATAPE™, a Polyester Fabric Tape or PERMASTIK™ Self-Adhesive Seam Tape. Clean surface of all grease, oil and foreign matter before priming. Rusted metal and uncoated metal must be primed with METAL-PRIME RED-OX™, a Red Iron Oxide Primer Sealer. Use a degreaser on galvanized or coated metals which have oils or surface treatments. Check PERMAKOTE® SILVER SEAL adhesion on galvanized or coated metal by applying to a small area and evaluating after 48 hours. If lack of adhesion is present after evaluating, metal must be lightly scuffed without penetrating the coated finish or galvanizing. If applicable, use METAL-PRIME RED-OX™ to spot prime the penetrated areas, then use PERMABOND™ Primer for entire coated or galvanized surface. PERMAKOTE® SILVER SEAL is ideal for residential, commercial and industrial applications.

STEP#3: TREAT RUST or PATCHING IMPERFECTIONS

Apply coats of METAL-PRIME™ RED-OX as needed and patch remaining imperfections with PERMAPATCH™.

STEP#4: TAPING SEAMS

Tape all visible seams, valleys, large cracks & fractures prone to water intrusion on roof surface with PERMASTIK™.

Estimated Coverage:

Standard product coverage on a smooth surface for PERMAKOTE® SILVER SEAL is 100 sq. - 150 sq. ft. per gallon per coat. Rough or uneven surfaces may require additional product. Two coats of PERMAKOTE® SILVER SEAL is recommended for a longer life.

Weather & Drying Guidelines:

Make sure PERMABOND® is completely dry before proceeding with additional coats. PERMAKOTE® SILVER SEAL dries in approximately 2–4 hours, but it is recommended to allow 12 hours between coats to allow for variations in weather and thickness. PERMAKOTE® SILVER SEAL continues to cure for up to two weeks after application. Dry times are dependent upon the thickness of application, humidity and weather. Some conditions, such as low temperature, high humidity, evening and morning dew, can increase curing times.

Clean Up, Storage & Disposal:

Clean up all spills, tools and overspray immediately while the coating is still wet with warm soapy water. Store unused product in its original container, tightly sealed and protect from freezing. Dispose of this product in accordance with local, state, or federal requirements.
