The area to be coated should be thoroughly powerwashed to remove salt deposits and loose rust. Commercially available cleaners designed to remove soluble salts may be recommended on certain projects. All remaining loose rust must be removed by wire brushing or other suitable methods. It is important to note that more complete rust removal will result in better performance of the coating system.
Polyester reinforcement adds dimensional strength to the membrane created with Acrymax elastomeric coatings. Polyester reinforcement is especially useful at transitions, flashings, for lining built-in gutters, for repairing and sealing leaking seams, and in certain cases over the entire roof area, particularly on smooth asphalt roofs. Our Roof Restoration Systems include two different levels of roof reinforcement.
Preservation Products Coating Systems have been used successfully on a wide variety of surfaces including metal, asphalt, wood, concrete, transite, foam, masonry, and other common building materials.
Preservation Products' coating systems from Acrymax have been proven to retain their physical properties, including flexibility, for over 17 years in actual exposures. The elastomeric coating system basically chalks or "erodes" at a slow rate over time.
Because it retains its basic physical properties, maintenance recoats will extend the life of the system indefinitely. We suggest that a Preservation Products elastomeric membrane system be recoated with one layer of Acrymax coating after 5-10 years, based on the particular needs of the project.
Preservation Products are competitively priced high-performance elastomeric coating systems. The old adage that "You get what you pay for" is very true in the paint and coatings industry. Unlike cheap paints where the major component is water, with Preservation Products coatings by Acrymax, you are paying for protection. Acrymax coatings are high solids materials, over 50% by volume. Preservation Products offer the most cost effective coating system available.
