DESCRIPTION

Aqua-Loc Ceramic Topcoat is a strong, tough coating, formulated with hollow-core ceramic microspheres, strands and irregular particulate in a complex 100% acrylic suspension with superior adhesion and abrasion resistance. Provides significant resistance to cracking, chalking. peeling and weathering. Exhibits exceptional adhesive and thermal properties. Aqua-Loc Ceramic Topcoat is intended to be a topcoat providing an extension to the existing roofing system and is not a stand-alone roofing material.

USAGE

Aqua-Loc Ceramic Topcoat is ideal for use on Commercial, Industrial, Government, and Residential buildings.

Roof systems include:

• Built-Up, Modified Bitumen, and Cold-Process Systems

• Asphalt and Fiber-Cement Shingles

• Synthetic Rubber Single-Ply Systems

• Concrete Roofs, Concrete and Fired Clay Tiles

• Galvanized Steel, Aluminum, and Enameled Steel

• Wood Shake and Shingles

Pastel/White base is recommended for peak thermal benefits.

Application Characteristics

Material	Single component, ready-to-use from container with little or no stirring required.
Approximate Coverage	Rough, porous surface	100 to 175 sq. ft./gallon
	Smooth, tight surface	175 to 225 sq. ft./gallon
Dry Base Film Thickness	One coat	5 to 7 dry mils
	Two coats	10 to 12 dry mils
Substrate Preparation	Repair all leaks. Pressure wash and clean, or airbrush and clean to remove all loose materials, dirt, grease, oil, or other contaminants from substrate. Dry, clean, tight surface with no gloss – will bridge hairline cracks. Apply Ceramic InsulSeal to porous and/or weathered substrates. Apply appropriate primers on metal and wood surfaces.
Application Temperature Range	39° F – 4° C substrate to 80° F – 29° C ambient air in direct sunlight.
Application Method	1.5” nap roller – brush – airless sprayer (0.023” – 0.584mm tungsten-carbide tip).
Initial Cure (tack-free)	Air dry, 15 to 30 minutes with moderate to low ambient humidity.
Primary Cure	Air dry, 48 hours at 60° F – 15.5° C or greater surface temperature with moderate to low ambient humidity.
Final Cure	90 to 120 days
Solvent (before curing)	Water
Cohesion Strength	Outstanding bond to dry or slightly damp surfaces. Strong cohesion to any clean, dry concrete, masonry asphalt, clay and concrete tiles, modified bitumen, primed metal or wood surfaces, and various flexible membrane systems. Hydrostatic pressure will disrupt this bond.
