DESCRIPTION

A thin, bituminous based aluminium protective coating of brushing consistency that dries to a silvery finish.

USES

• Bond It ALUMINIUM SOLAR REFLECTIVE PAINT is a light/heat reflective coating that will provide protection against solar degradation and heat gain. It is suitable for use over bituminous coatings, aged asphalt and primed steel. It is not suitable for direct application to expanded polystyrene

APPLICATION INFORMATION

• Stir thoroughly before use. Do not thin. Apply immediately and continue stirring periodically during use. Apply by brush or mohair roller When brushing, use soft bristle brushes applying the lightest of pressure. The product will appear bronze coloured in the tin, but will turn silver as it dries. Over recently applied bituminous surfaces allow the following minimum periods to elapse after the final coat has dried before applying ALUMINIUM SOLAR REFLECTIVE PAINT. Hot applied coatings ­will take 24 hours, solvent based coatings will take­ 10 days, and water based coatings will take­ 14 days­. Apply 2 coats, the second coat being applied as soon as the first coat is dry. Over bituminous surfaces apply the thinnest coat necessary to obliterate the black colour of the bitumen coating for the first coat. The second coat should also be thin. Avoid the formation of pools. Do not apply when rain, frost or overnight dew are expected before the coating is fully dry, as bronzing of the surface may result if these conditions are not observed.

SUBSTRATE PREPARATION

• All surfaces must be structurally sound, clean, dry and free from surface contaminants such as grease, rust and dirt. If necessary, remove any organic growth i.e. lichen, with a fungicidal wash such as Bond It Mould Stop. If the surface is still dusty after cleaning, or covered with weathered bitumen, prime with BITUMEN PRIMER and allow to dry
