Urethane coatings typically contain organic solvents and as such can be toxic and flammable. Work only in fully ventilated areas. Do not smoke when using these products or use near sparks, heat, or any open flames. Read and follow the Tough Stuff Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS). All waste materials including empty pails must be removed from the site by the applicator and taken to a landfill authorized to receive such materials.
Urethanes and primers will require proper mixing before application as follows:
PRODUCT | MIX TIME |
UR2100,UR2650 | Four minutes (two part) |
UP70 | Four minutes (two part - five minute digest after mixing) |
AC5000, AC5600, AC5900, UR1600, UR1700, UR1800 | Two minute |
A. CLEANING:
Remove dirt and foreign material detrimental to adhesion or application of roofing. Use CL404 cleaner diluted 20:1 with water. On heavy dirt or grease, apply full strength. Broom scrub the soap solution on the membrane to loosen oxidation and dirt and rinse with a minimum 2500 pi water blaster. If there are algae growing on the surface, the cleaning must include bleach in the washing of the substrate.
B. WET ROOFING REPLACEMENT:
Locate wet insulation and remove. Replace with new insulation to match the existing roof level. Leave room at the top for 1/2” OSB to face the repair. Space joints 1/8” to leave room for expansion. The width of the plywood will be related to wind uplift requirements.
After installing the plywood, finish as follows:
Prime with AC5600 at 1 gallon/100 square feet whenever surface to be coated does not have a base coat with liner.
A. SPLITS & CUTS:
All splits must be repaired with the polyester liner.
B. FISH MOUTHS:
C. BLISTERS:
All blisters must be cut open, dried out, and resealed.
Apply polyester reinforcement on areas of significant movement.
Round projections, machine legs, sign posts, guide wire straps, inside and outside corners, etc. can be flashed using the D200 powder additive mixed into the urethane to create a mastic mixture. The mastic mixture is also used to create cants and as a joint filler.
Mastic Mixing Ratios:
USAGE | RATIO OF D200 TO URETHANE |
Cants | 50% |
Brushable | 40% |
Light brush / spray | 30% |
A field liner is typically installed over the entire smooth roof.
Apply additional layers of the urethane at 1.5 galons/square with optional aggregate. Aggregate can be added into the mixture or broadcast into the wet material.
Place vents 5’ from outside walls every 50’ and at all inside and outside corners. Cut membrane and insulation to primary roof or to deck. Fill hole in insulation with crumbled insulation that was cut out. Place a triple bead of mastic (see Section 2.07) on the base of the vent and set vent centered over hole. Finish edge of vent with additional caulking and tool into place.
