Liquid Roof/Liquid Rubber should not be applied directly over an asphalt based coating. Water based acrylic elastomeric coatings may be used as intermediate coats before applying Liquid Roof/Liquid Rubber. Asphalt's based applications should be considered as being unstable materials and are excluded from warranty coverage. Caution-Latex house paints can not be substituted in place of the acrylic elastomeric coatings.
For Built Up Roof Project.
Can be applied direct to plywood and lumber; however, we suggest a non oil-based primer.
Rubber will penetrate into fissures at joints between old and new concrete. Product will also penetrate into surface pores unless concrete is trowel finished or pores are first sealed with a primer. Rubber will effectively waterproof tiles and rain gutters made of concrete or adobe type materials.
Roof to wall flashings can be formed in place by reinforcing the rubber with polyester fabric. No mechanical fasteners are needed. Quick repairs to reinforce weak areas or bridge cracks can also be made in similar fashion.
EPDM rubber is an excellent recoat product for roll formed steel siding which is starting to corrode at the bends. The rubber can be applied as one coat system with no corrosion inhibitive primer needed.
Cranes, tanks and support structures at dock facilities experience accelerated corrosion rates due to salt water exposure. EPDM rubber coatings are not affected by salt and are ideal for this type of environment.
Elevated or on ground steel storage tank can be effectively protected with a rubber coating. Surface condensation, cathodic protection nor thermal stresses between sun and shady areas present problems for the coating.
(Product -9911 Ship Shape) EPDM rubber coatings can be effectively used on ships, boats and barges. because of their inherent characteristics: i.e. Ultra Violet stability, salt resistance, excellent water resistance, low and high temperature tolerance and flexibility.9911 Ship Shape is designed specifically for marine use.
EPDM rubber coatings are very effective for protecting concrete pipe against salt water corrosion. They can tolerate higher temperatures, exposure to strong sun, and have 2.5 times higher solids than liquid Neoprene coatings.
Corrosive environments are created by many industrial operations where acids are used. Similar conditions can also be produced organically in poultry and hog production operations which generate high volumes of manure. EPDM coatings can protect the steel and other construction materials from rapid deterioration in these environments.
Non thermoplastic materials, regardless of shape can now be coated with EPDM rubber as a protection against corrosion or chemical attack. The coating can be applied by spray, dip or flowcoat methods and than cured in an oven at temperatures from 250-300 F (120-150 C). These single component products are custom formulated for a specific application, have good storage stability and are very easy to apply. Viscosity and solids content can be controlled and make it possible to apply thin as well as thick coatings of EPDM rubber.
