Roofing Asphalt

Product Information and Technical Data

 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION:
GlobalShield Roofing Asphalt serves as a quality mopping asphalt for use in the construction of built-up roof membrane assemblies. GlobalShield Roofing Asphalt may be used as an interply adhesive with all GlobalShield ply sheets, as a surfacing flood coat, or as a waterproofing membrane in IRMA Systems and Garden Roof Systems.

AREAS OF USE:

• Interply mopping adhesive for built-up (BUR) assemblies.

• High performance floodcoat on new hot-applied asphalt built-up roofs. A bonding adhesive for flashing membranes.

• A bonding adhesive for fully adhered SBS modified bitumen system.

• Interply and surfacing adhesive for insulated roof membrane assemblies (IRMA).

• Interply and surfacing adhesive for garden roofs.

BENEFITS:

• Represents a high quality surfacing bitumen formulated for improved weathering resistance to extend the performance life of the roof.

• Accommodates normal roof stress created by thermal changes, making the roof less likely to split or rupture.

• Can be used with most conventional roofing equipment - eliminating the need for special equipment that may increase the cost of your roof project.

• Contains no asbestos.

INSTALLATION:

Surface Preparation: Surface prepared to project specification must be clean and dry.

Heating: GlobalShield Roofing Asphalt must be heated in a conventional roofing kettle to a minimum temperature of 400 °F. In order to achieve a consistent temperature during application, the kettle should be equipped with a circulating pump. GlobalShield Roofing Asphalt is applied in a temperature range (EVT) ± 25°F when mopping or ± 25°F when using a mechanical spreader. Avoid heating above 475°F

When working with coated and uncoated ply sheets, the application temperature of the GlobalShield Roofing Asphalt must not exceed 400°F to avoid distortion of polyester.

Application: GlobalShield Roofing Asphalt may be applied by mop, using cotton or fiberglass mop heads. Felt layers, such as Garlock Universal, can be used. Chain mops are not to be used with uncoated polyester ply sheets, as they can damage the ply.

Final Surfacing: As surfacing floodcoat of GlobalShield Roofing Asphalt is applied (see Coverage Rates), broadcast a minimum of 400 lbs. of new, clean roof gravel per 100 sq. ft. into wet flood coat.

COVERAGE RATES:

• Interply: 25 pounds ± 25% per 100 square ft.

• Surfacing Floodcoat: 50 lbs. ± 25% per 100 square feet minimum.

• Flashing Adhesive: Smooth Surface – 25 pounds per 100 square ft.

• Gravel Surface Application: 501bs. per 100 square ft.

• Adhesive for SBS Modified Bitumen System: 25 lbs. ± 25% per 100 square ft.

PACKAGING: GlobalShield Roofing Asphalt is packaged in cartons weighing approximately 100 lbs. Each pallet is weighed to assure the proper quantities of material are shipped.

STORAGE LIFE: One (1) year since storage conditions are beyond our control and may have a negative affect on

COLOR: Black

PRECAUTIONS: Read MSDS and label before use. Follow industry safety standards when working with Hot Asphalt Adhesive. Follow cold weather guide lines when required for working with hot material.

Kettle should circulate material during heating process.  Polymer modified asphalts hold their temperature longer than standard asphalts; therefore, kettle temperature may need to be kept lower to maintain the proper EVT at application. Recommend that a sandbox be available for roofing crews' shoes to reduce sticking and asphalt build-up. For industrial/commercial use only. Keep out of reach of children
