Product No. 980 Forever Coat

Description

DESCRIPTION: PRODUCT NO. 980 FOREVER-COAT is a Low-Solids 100% silicone, RTV moisture cure, waterproof roof coating which forms a monolithic barrier to the effects of degradation caused by normal weathering, aging and ultraviolet exposure. PRODUCT NO. 980 FOREVER-COAT has excellent durability, color stability and chalk resistance. It is typically used as a protective coating for polyurethane foam or metal and new or existing roofs.

USES: PRODUCT NO. 980 FOREVER-COAT can be directly applied over most previously coated roof surfaces as well as exposed spray polyurethane foam, TPO, or EPDM follow surface preparation instructions below.

SURFACE PREPARATION: All surfaces to be coated should be free of dirt, dust, chalking paint, mortar spatter, all loose rust, all loose mill scale, old caulking, grease, oil, release agents, curing compounds, laitance and other foreign matter including frost. Surfaces should be power washed with PRODUCT NO. 750 MULTI-PURPOSE CLEANER or other appropriate detergent and rinsed prior to coating. On asphalt based substrates, one coat of Tucson Rubberized Coatings Product No. 297-X X-Treme Primer is highly recommended to prevent discoloring. Roof surfaces need to be clean and dry. A 20 mil thickness will skin over in about 60 minutes and have sufficient strength to walk on for application of a second coat in about 4 to 6 hours.

APPLICATION: Mixing: PRODUCT NO. 980 FOREVER-COAT is supplied as a one-part coating (no component mixing necessary). Mix by an air powered agitator (300 – 400 rpm) for a minimum of 5 minutes, to ensure an even consistency of coating is obtained without air in suspension.

Application: The temperature of the surface to be coated should be between 41 and 120°F (5 and 60°C) and environmental temperature should be at least 5°F (3°C) above the dew point prior to and during application. When working with PRODUCT NO. 980 FOREVER-COAT in high humidity and/or high temperature environments, it is recommended to use a pail lid adapter fitted with an agitator. This will prevent the product from skinning over and curing in the pail during application. It is recommended that PRODUCT NO. 980 FOREVER-COAT be applied using an airless sprayer; however, brush, squeegee or roller are also suitable methods of application. It is necessary to apply at a rate that will achieve a minimum of 20 mils (508 μm) DFT. PRODUCT NO. 980 FOREVER-COAT can be applied in a single coat withstanding blistering and providing superior adhesion. Roller and brush application will require multiple coats to achieve desired DFT even if the coverage is adequate.

Surface finish is dependent on application method. Avoid using a combination of application methods whenever possible. Superior aesthetic appearance will be obtained with airless spray application.

Always perform an adhesion test patch over smooth substrates, existing coated roofs and metal roofs. If adhesion result test is not satisfactory for the project please contact Tucson Rubberized Coatings for compatible primers and repeat test.

Work Stoppages & Restarts: Work stoppages are not recommended with only partial utilization of a container of PRODUCT NO. 980 FOREVER-COAT. If work must stop after only a portion of a container of PRODUCT NO. 980 FOREVER-COAT is used, seal to minimize air and moisture contact with the coating by covering the surface of the coating with a sheet of polyethylene film, then reseal the container to be airtight.

Upon reopening the container to restart work, peel back the polyethylene film. If curing of the coating has occurred, use a utility knife to cut the cured coating away from the wall of the container. Peel away the cured layer of coating to expose fresh coating underneath.

STORAGE: Shelf Life: 12 months from date of manufacture in the original unopened container below 90°F (32°C). Subject to re-inspection thereafter. Store in dry, shaded conditions away from sources of heat or ignition. May be stored below freezing.

Thinner: Not Recommended.

CLEAN-UP: Do not allow material to remain in hoses, gun or spray equipment.Thoroughly flush all equipment with an equipment cleaner, naphtha or mineral spirits. Fully cured coating is environmentally benign (will not harm) and is suitable for landfill disposal. However, always check local environmental regulations before disposal.

HANDLING PRECAUTIONS: Product safety information required for safe use is not included. Before handling, read product safety data sheets and container labels for safe use, physical and health hazard information. Safety data sheets are available on the TRC website at www.rubberized.com.
