Surface Preparation
Surfaces should preferably be as dry as possible - Emergency patch repairs can however be successfully completed to surfaces with running water
Remove any loose material and dirt
Very porous, dry surfaces should be primed with Watco Roofite/Roofite Solar Reflective diluted with 25% white spirit
A wire brush should be used to remove all traces of moss etc.
A fungicide may be required for heavily contaminated surfaces
Specialist advice must be sought when dealing with old asbestos/cement roofs - please contact our Technical Department on 0113 2455450 (option 2) or send a message to [email protected] for details
Application
The coating should be applied generously by brush at the rate of 1m² per kilo
If a second coat is required it should be applied at right angles to the first coat
Do not brush out to a thin film
Cracks, splits, holes and leaks around roof sheet overlaps should be treated in the following manner:
Apply a generous coat of Watco Roofite and immediately bed in a strip of Watco Roofite Scrim cut to a suitable size
Apply a further coat of Watco Roofite over the scrim using a stippling action and leave to cure
Deep pits and cracks in flat concrete roofs etc can be filled with a mortar consisting of Watco Roofite mixed with Roofite Sand Additive
The surface should be primed first with Watco Roofite before trowelling in the Watco Roofite and additive mix
In exceptional temperature conditions advice should be obtained
Limitations
Roofite/Roofite Solar Reflective are not suitable for coating bare wooden substrates in order to form a waterproofing seal
Entrapped moisture on porous surfaces may cause blistering in warm weather or spalling at low temperatures.
Only limited emergency patch repairs should therefore be made to porous surfaces while wet.
Not suitable for use on EPDM rubber roofs.
Check compatibility with other surfaces if in doubt.
In common with all bitumen based products, black Roofite will gradually weather to grey colour
