![]() #520 WHITE REFLECTIVE ELASTOMERIC ROOF COATINGS FOR BUILDINGS. *LEED & ENERGY STAR COMPLIANT* CLICK HERE TO SEE THE REASONS WHY YOU SHOULD BUY ENERGY STAR QUALIFIED ROOF COATINGS |
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION Safe-T-Plex 520 is a single part, acrylic latex, elastomeric roof coating designed for high pressure airless spray, or roller application over BUR, galvanized steel, tar & gravel, polyurethane foam and epdm membrane. Safe-T-Plex 520 White Reflective Roof Coating exceeds LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design Program) and Energy Star guidelines for reflectivity and emissivity. Our Barrier Pro Waterproof Primer is designed specifically for use on tar & gravel prior to applying Safe-T-Plex. This winning combination is an efficient, "green", and cost effective alternative to re-roofing. Because Safe-T-Plex is made from only the highest quality, 100% acrylic resin, it can be used on flat roof surfaces! Reducing heat build-up on commercial and residential roofing can dramatically affect building operating costs. Findings reported by the Roofing Manufacturers Association conclude that heat build-up can shorten the useful life of rubber, synthetic polymer, and especially asphalt roofing systems. Cool roof technology utilizing specialized white coatings that reflect the sun’s light before it can be turned into heat significantly reduce temperature. For example, a 95° F day raises black roof top temperature to 170° F, while a white roof would not exceed 120° F — a temperature drop of over 30%. Safe-T-Plex is available in reflective white only. The product is made to reflect 83% of heat and uv rays from the sun in order to reduce air conditioning costs and heat stress to the roof structure. To accomplish this, the coating is made with large concentrations of titanium dioxide and zinc oxide. To overcome the whitening effects of these ingredients, you would need massive amounts of colorants, so much that it would harm the overall performance of the coating. Safe-T-Plex is guaranteed not to crack or peel for 10 years if applied according to our directions. It will last 20 years or more. BUYER BEWARE - PLEASE READ When comparing elastomeric roof coating products, be aware that many manufacturers do not recommend application of their product on roof surfaces without a slope as they may not remain watertight in ponding situations. These products are made with polymers that are inferior to the those used in the manufacture of Safe-T-Plex®. Safe-T-Plex® is manufactured using only premium quality, 100% acrylic polymer, providing superior, long life performance on flat roof surface applications. BENEFITS

| SURFACE
PREPARATION STEEL ROOFING Surface temperature must be at least 10º C ( 50º F). Remove loose rust, dirt, oily residues with high pressure wash. Safe-T-Plex can be applied directly to metal roofing that has tightly adhering surface rust, without the need for a primer. Heavy rust must be spot primed with Neverox Anti-Rust Emulsion. High pressure wash all rusty surfaces and allow to dry. Problem seams and holes must be sealed using our Tape-Kote Seam Tape. (Safe-T-Plex forms a watertight adhesive bond to this tape.) Apply Tape-Kote Seam Tape around all objects that protrude through the roof (air conditioners, vents, breather pipes, etc.). Tape-Kote Seam Tape can be applied over runs of leaking screws or roofing nails. Contact us or talk to a qualified Safe-T-Plex applicator for more information regarding preparation. STEEL ROOF APPLICATION Do not apply Safe-T-Plex if rain, heavy dew, or frost appears imminent during the next 24 hours. Minimum temperature during application and curing must be 10ºC. Safe-T-Plex is ready to use. Do not thin. Spray: Airless Sprayer 3000 p.s.i., 2 g.p.m. capacity , #631 tip. Brush: Good quality synthetic bristle brush. Roller: Long nap, Safe-T-Plex roller. Apply 2 coats at 100 sq. ft. per gallon each, allowing approx. 3 hrs. cure time (tack free) between coats. Make sure all tape is well covered with Safe-T-Plex Roof Coating. TAR & GRAVEL, BUILT UP ROOFING PREPARATION Do not apply if rain, frost or heavy dew is forecasted over the next 24 hour period. Do not torch roof surface as this will bring up oily residue which will impair adhesion of the coating. Temperature must be at least 15ºC to insure a proper cure on tar & gravel roofs. Remove all loose aggregate from roof. All loosely adhered roof coating must be removed and bare surfaces must be prepared, cleaned and checked for compatibility. All surfaces to be coated must be clean, dry and free of any oil, grease or dirt. High pressure water washing is recommended. Apply Tape-Kote Seam Tape around drains and any object that protrudes through the roof, making sure to apply half of the tape edge to the roof and the other tape edge to the object. APPLYING BARRIER PRO PRIMER AND SAFE-T-PLEX ON TAR & GRAVEL, BUILT UP ROOFING Thinning is not recommended. Spray: High pressure airless sprayer, (Graco GMAXII, Titan 6900 or similar) 3000 psi., 2 gpm capacity. Spray tip should have a .031 orifice with a 12” - 14” fan width (Graco #631 or similar). Apply 2 coats Barrier Pro Primer @ 66 sq. ft. per gal., Allowing at least 3 hours between coats. Apply 2 coats Safe-T-Plex @ 100 sq. ft. per gal., allowing 3 hrs. between coats. Make sure all tape is well covered with Safe-T-Plex Roof Coating. EPDM RUBBER ROOF MEMBRANE EPDM membrane must be carefully prepared by removing all debris, pressure washing and then applying Safe-T-Prime polyurethane roof primer. Contact us or talk to a qualified Safe-T-Plex applicator for more information regarding EPDM rubber roof membranes. CLICK HERE for a Qualified Applicator in Ontario |
