"FIX IT & FORGET IT!"
SAFE-T-PLEX + TAPE-KOTE ROOF SEAM TAPE = NO MORE LEAKS, GUARANTEED!! Safe-T-Plex Elastomeric Roof
Coating is a high solids
acrylic elastomer coating system with superior weatherability,
ultraviolet resistance, fire retardancy, elongation, flexibility and
adhesion. This specially formulated product is made to
contract, expand and flex, and is guaranteed not to crack so as to
maintain a permanent water tight
vapor barrier. The product also protects Tape-Kote Roof Seam Tape from
harmful uv rays. Safe-T-Plex produces a bright white, 92% reflective
surface, which effectively reduces cooling costs and heat stress to
your roof structure. The product's low dirt pick up and sealing feature
will drastically reduce unsightly streaks that are so hard to remove
from rv siding.
Tape-Kote Roof Seam Tape is a peel and stick product for sealing joints and seams from migrating moisture. It is ideal for metal buildings, mobile homes, manufactured housing, travel trailers, utility trailers, and semi-trailers, prior to application of Safe-T-Plex Elastomeric Roof Coating. Tape-Kote provides truly amazing adhesion - it must be destroyed in order to remove it, and destroying it is not an easy job! Tape-Kote Roof Seam Tape is manufactured from specially formulated elastomeric resins, bonded to a woven polymer fiber for maximum conformability. After the seam tape is applied, Safe-T-Plex Roof Coating bonds permanently to this woven backing, forming an integral, waterproof membrane that remains flexible and will not crack, even in below freezing conditions. Tape-Kote Seam Tape over joints and around roof vents, followed by two coats of Safe-T-Plex is like covering your roof with a pond liner. Safe-T-Plex flows where water goes, and then sets up like a rubber tire to prevent further leaks. If these
products are applied properly, you can expect to have a maintenance
free roof for at least twenty years.
Our Safe-T-Plex/ Tape-Kote System is guaranteed against leaks for 10 years if applied according to our instructions. Please read the full
procedure

ROOF" before ordering your

By following the instructions below, you can reasonably expect 20 years of dry, maintenance free protection for your RV roof. Before ordering, determine if your roof is aluminum, fiberglass, steel or rubber sheeting. Measure all seams including the outside edges, cross seams and around all vents, pipes or air conditioners. These seams must be covered with Tape-Kote Roof Seal Tape before coating and we need to know how many feet of tape you will need. PREPARING A RUBBER ROOF Rubber roofing has a tendency to develop a layer of oxidization that must be removed by cleaning with acetone. Remove any loose coatings or sealants that are not adhering well to the roof. Immediately after cleaning, apply tape to all seams. Remove about 1" of the liner from the tape and press it down at your starting position. Pull the liner from underneath and press the tape as you go, gradually releasing the liner so that the adhesive surface does not come in contact with itself or unintended surfaces. A coating of Safe-T-Prime EPDM Roof Primer must then be applied to the rubber surface to prevent any further oxidization. Do not cover the tape with primer.
PREPARING A METAL ROOF Aluminum and steel roofing requires power washing or scrubbing with water and detergent.. Remove any loose coatings, silicone or sealants that are not adhering well to the roof. Apply tape to all seams. Remove about 1" of the liner from the tape and press it down at your starting position. Pull the liner from underneath and press the tape as you go, gradually releasing the liner so that the adhesive surface does not come in contact with itself or unintended surfaces. PREPARING A FIBERGLASS ROOF Sand roof using 100 grit paper to remove all shine from the surface. Apply tape to all seams. Remove about 1" of the liner from the tape and press it down at your starting position. Pull the liner from underneath and press the tape as you go, gradually releasing the liner so that the adhesive surface does not come in contact with itself or unintended surfaces. APPLYING SAFE-T-PLEX ROOF COATING Safe-T-Plex should not be applied below 7.2°C (45°F) or if frost or rain is anticipated within 12 hours after application. Remember that Safe-T-Plex is a "coating" not a "paint" and therefore must be applied liberally. Apply using a long nap Safe-T-Plex roller, in two coats at 90 degrees to each other, allowing approx. 3 hours cure time between coats. Make sure all the tape is well coated. If you are concerned about too much walking on the roof structure, lay on it instead and use a brush to paint over the tape around vents etc. Use a broom handle on the roller to reach across the roof from either side to finish coating the surface. Safe-T-Plex will be completely cured over night and will be ready for years of trouble-free protection. |
