SUPERBASE (High Solids) ®
APPLICATION
METHOD:
Surfaces must be clean and dry before application. Loose
or flaking old paint or corrosion must be removed from surface before applying.
High pressure water blasting (3500 psi) will remove most loose and flaking materials.
If oils are present, use our SP-WB Cleaner in water according to recommended
proportions to remove any oil residues. As a rule, "a coating is only as
good as the surface it covers." Grease, oil, waxy substances, dirt, etc.
must be cleaned from surfaces. Oil paints can remain if bonded solidly to surfaces. SUPERBASE
(HS) ® can be applied best by airless or airpot spray, roller
and by brush. Spraying requires a steel carbon tip sizes .028 up to a .032.
If rolling, it may take two coats to attain required mils. When applying in
conjunction with our MESH MEMBRANE on a flat roof; whether over tar, concrete,
metal or wood, one coat is laid at 50 sq. ft./gallon to completely seal the surface.
Then the MEMBRANE is laid into the first coat before drying. A second coat of
SUPERBASE (HS) ® is laid on top of the
MEMBRANE at 100 sq. ft. per gallon to encapsulate the membrane and
SUPERTHERM
® is top coated for insulation. This system gives hail-resistance,
ponding-resistance and water tightness for a minimum of 20 years. For walls
or inclined roofing, whether underside of interior/exterior walls, SUPERBASE
(HS) ® is applied to seal and fill cracks or very porous substrates
and before SUPERTHERM ®
is applied to insulate. SUPERBASE (HS) ®
used with SUPERTHERM ®
gives insulation value to the roofing and walls structures to prevent heat buildup
under the roof or inside the wall areas.
