Uniflex® Elastomeric White Roof Coating
Product Description
Uniflex® Elastomeric White Roof Coating is a special Industrial Grade, 100% Acrylic based formula that insulates and protects, forming a thick, rubber-like blanket of protection that expands and contracts with the roof. Because of the superior reflectivity of Uniflex® White Elastomeric, surface temperatures are reduced, which lowers interior temperatures, reducing energy costs. This special formulation resists cracking and peeling from severe heat and cold.
Basic Use
Uniflex® Elastomeric White Roof Coating will provide a highly elastic, weatherproofing barrier over metal (including aged galvanized and prepainted metals), urethane foam, concrete and other approved surfaces.
Limitations
Do not apply below 50°F (10°C) or when rain is forecast. Applications during periods of low temperature or high humidity will extend dry time.
Allow 4-6 hours for coating to dry prior to being subjected to rain, heavy dew or temperatures below 50°F. KEEP FROM FREEZING.

Surface Preparation
All surfaces must be power washed with a mild detergent and thoroughly rinsed to remove all dirt, loose paint, rust, excessive chalk, grease, oil and other foreign matter which could prevent proper adhesion.
IMPORTANT: Where ponding water conditions persist beyond 2-3 days, roof drains or other corrective measures must be installed to eliminate water build-up prior to coating the roof.
Metal Roofs: Remove all rust and prime those areas, areas where rust still remains and bare metal using Uniflex® Metal Primer. Tighten or replace loose or missing fasteners. Repair open seams, small holes, flashings around roof penetrations and skylights with Uniflex® Acrylic Patching Cement and embed Uniflex® Polyester Fabric. Uniflex® Seam Tape may be used as an alternative to patch and fabric on seams and around protrusions.
NOTE: New metal roofs contain residual oils from the manufacturing process of the panels. Allow the roof to weather six months or etch using a mild acid solution.
Urethane Foam: Power wash previously coated urethane foam surfaces to remove all chalk and loosely adhered materials. Repair all cracks and holes with Uniflex® Acrylic Patching Cement reinforced with Polyester Fabric before coating. New surfaces require no cleaning and should be coated within the time frame recommended by the foam manufacturer.
Concrete: Power wash the entire roof surface. Prime complete area using Uniflex® Concrete Primer. Repair cracks and any weakened section of concrete using Uniflex® Acrylic Patching Cement reinforced with Uniflex® Polyester Fabric before coating.
Application
Apply with a soft brush (avoid excessive brushing), roller or airless spray. Uniflex® Elastomeric is to be applied in two coats, the finish coat being applied 24 hours after the initial application. This product has excellent suspension and requires minimal stirring. If the roof is hot, spray with water to prevent the coating from drying too fast. May be applied over damp, not wet, surfaces. DO NOT THIN. To obtain the additional strength of a single-ply roof, apply a first coat and embed Uniflex® Polyester Fabric. Once 24 hours have elapsed, apply a second coat.

Note: Coverage may vary depending on the actual condition of the surface. The coverage rates shown are intended as minimum application recommendations. Over corrugated and irregular metal surfaces, allow for additional surface area by multiplying total square feet by 1.15.
Maintenance
It is recommended that the coating installation be checked on a regular maintenance schedule. Small area touch ups can be made at any time following recommended application procedures.
