Before You Start... EpoxyFlex Application Essentials

CONDITION OF ROOF BEFORE APPLICATION

1. Roof must be sound and leak-free. All roof surfaces must be in structurally sound and water tight (waterproof) condition prior to application. Unsound surfaces must be repaired or replaced.

2. Surfaces and substrates must be dry. All roof surfaces and substrates must be completely dry before application. Materials (insulation, roofing details, etc.) retaining moisture, saturated, or holding water must be replaced.

3. Surfaces must be clean. The coating surface must be clean and must be clear of loose aggregate, dirt, oil, soap, or any substance or circumstance that may impair adhesion. CAUTION: If dirt or non-designed foreign elements to the roofing surface (waterproofing) are atop the surface, EpoxyFlex will adhere to the foreign object and not the desired and intended surface.

4. Surface must be prepared properly. Surface preparation must always be in accordance with the highest standards of trade practices. (See Section 3 for details of specific roof type preparation).

5. Material storage and handling. Care must be taken in the storage and handling of the EpoxyFlex roof coating. Do not freeze. Do not ship or store EpoxyFlex unless protection from freezing is available. In its liquid form, EpoxyFlex will freeze and become unusable at temperatures below freezing (32oF or 0oC).

CONDITIONS OF ROOF AT TIME OF APPLICATION

Temperature: EpoxyFlex must be applied at temperatures above 50oF (10oC). The ambient air temperature, the surfaces to receive coating, and the liquid coating must be at 55oF or higher.

**Moisture or Freezing Temperatures: Do not apply EpoxyFlex when measurable precipitation or freezing is possible within 24 hours of application. Appropriate Equipment For the best results, it is important that appropriate high-quality application equipment is used for the installation of EpoxyFlex. See Recommended Equipment in this Section. Safety Install all materials in strict adherence with all published safety data and/or requirements, appropriate governing codes, weather condition cautions, the manufacturer’s instructions and in accordance with the highest trade practice standards.
