FEATURES

Excellent Adhesion

It provides excellent adhesion on properly prepared roofing materials such as galvanized and concrete roof tiles. Its thermoplastic film remains flexible over time without cracking and peeling.

Good Corrosion Resistance

It inhibits flash rusting on metal and provides good corrosion resistance with its specially formulated acrylic binder and pigment combination.

Easy Water Clean-up

No need for thinners and solvent reducers. Tools, painting equipment, spills, and paint drips can be cleaned by water and soap solution while still wet.

Environmentally Sound

It is low in odor, non-flammable, and does not use hazardous solvents. It also does not contain lead or mercury.

Outstanding Durability

It provides excellent UV resistance and good gloss retention. The tightly adhering film retains its original color better than its solvent-based counterpart and offers good dirt pick-up resistance.

Rapid Drying

It dries in an hour compared to the 8 hours drying time for solvent-based roofing paints. Recoating interval is 2-4 hours, resulting in faster paint jobs and significant labor cost savings.

SURFACE PREPARATION

Wipe the surface with a rag soaked in paint thinner to remove grease, oil, wax and other foreign matter. For new galvanized surfaces, etch the surface by applying 10% BOYSEN®® Metal Etching Solution B‑71 (Dilute 1 part of B‑71 to 9 parts water). Rinse with water and dry immediately.

Unpainted galvanized surfaces that have been exposed for 6 months or more need not be etched.

For recoating pre-painted galvanized surfaces in good condition, sand lightly then wipe the surface with a clean rag before applying paint. Remove all loose paint film to sound surface. Spot prime bare substrate.

For corroded galvanized surfaces, remove rust by wire brushing and use BOYSEN®® Metal Etching Solution B‑71. Let it stay for 10-15 minutes. Be sure to remove all remaining residue. Immediately prime after drying.

For unglazed roof tiles, clean surfaces to be painted to remove dirt, dust, grease, oil, and other contaminants.
