#203

#203 Fibered Aluminum Coating 3# is our highest quality aluminum reflective coating. It is manufactured from a blend of premium asphalts and solvents and carefully formulated with select non-asbestos fibers, special fillers and 3 pounds of pure aluminum pigment per gallon. Its unique formulation provides a smoother, more even texture as it is brushed on than do most aluminum fibered coatings. When the coating is applied, the aluminum flakes form even, overlapping layers at the surface. This structure protects the coating and the roof surface below as reflective armor from the sun, wind, rain, ice and snow. This premium product meets all requirements of ASTM-D-2824 Type III and TT-C-498C.

Uses
#203 Fibered Aluminum Coating 3# is a reflective weatherproof coating that beautifies as it preserves and protects metal, composition, built-up and modified bitumen roofs.

Advantages
#203 Fibered Aluminum Coating 3# reduces indoor building temperatures in summer by reflecting the sun's rays. It is self-preserving. Its aluminum armor reflects most of the rays of the sun which oxidize and age the asphalt base below.

Installation
Coverage
Product yield to achieve desired rate will be from 1 to 1.5 gallons per 100 square feet and 2 to 3 gallons on composition roofs. The yield varies according to the existing surface texture. As a general rule, the smoother the surface, the less material is required.

Surface Preparation
Remove all dirt, dust, debris and standing water by brooming and by forced air where necessary and where no danger or nuisance is caused to areas adjacent to work. All loose gravel must be removed from ballasted roofs. Scrape back to a hard edge all loose or scaled coating. Make all necessary repairs to existing surface prior to coating. Split seams, blisters and cracks in existing surface should be repaired with GlobalShield Roof Cement. Heavily weathered or exposed felt surfaces, as well as concrete, masonry, or weathered metal should receive an application of #101 Asphalt Primer prior to coating. All surfaces must be dry prior to application.

Application
Coating must be thoroughly stirred prior to and occasionally during use. Mechanical mixing, if practical, is recommended. Apply by spray with a standard mastic pump and gun sized by a knowledgeable pump dealer for the particular application or by pouring directly from the container and spreading with a soft roofing brush. Brush product out uniformly and evenly, taking care not to overwork it.

#203 Fibered Aluminum Coating 3# cleans up with mineral spirits, but do not thin the product with this or any other solvents.

For the easiest workability in cold temperatures, warm containers by storing them overnight in a room at 65° to 75° F.

Drying Time: Four hours to touch at 70° F. & 50% relative humidify.

Restrictions
Minimum application temperature is 40° F. and rising. Do not apply to areas which pond water; do not use on dead level, tar base, or existing gravel roofs. Do not apply to new asphalt roofs which have cured less than 30 days, solvent based asphalt coatings less than 30-90 days old, or to asphalt emulsion coatings that have cured for less than 30 days. Surfaces to be coated must be dry and clean and must remain so for 24 to 48 hours after application. Light rain or heavy dew will inhibit the leafing of the aluminum flakes, causing the product to dry brown. Do not use with PVC film. Do not use where material, once applied, may come into contact with potable water. Not for use on or with products containing coal tar. Do not use on slate shingles or apply directly to wood surfaces. Not for use over rubber or plastic membranes - asphalt modified only. For exterior use only.

Cautions
