Cromar Aluminium Solar Reflective Paint - 25kg (Premium Grade) Description A Premium version of Aluminium Paint – a bright aluminium, traditional, solar reflective coating suitable for application to bituminous roofing substrates. Uses For the protection against sun and weathering of roofs, particularly where bituminous, exposed steel and corrugated iron surfaces are encountered. Coverage Rates Approximately 5 to 10m2 per litre per coat, depending upon the surface. Drying Time Up to 72 hours dependent on the ambient temperature. Method of Application By brush or airless spray. Storage Conditions Store away from children. Containers must be kept sealed and stored under cover away from sources of heat and ignition. Do not allow water to contaminate the Aluminium Paint. Storage Life 12 months under good storage conditions in original unopened containers. Application Instructions Surfaces should be clean, dry and free from dust and debris. Freshly applied bitumen coatings should be allowed to weather for at least 3 to 5 days prior to the application of Aluminium Paint. For use on Roofing Felt we recommend you prime the surface prior to applying the first coat of Aluminium Paint. Cleaning Tools Clean with White Spirit. Note The appearance of a silver film on the surface of the paint after a short period of stirring does not signify that the paint is thoroughly uniform. It is advisable to stir for several minutes to ensure complete dispersion. Preference should be given to mechanical stirring. Two coats should be applied, the first being allowed to dry before application of the second. To avoid bronzing it is important that Aluminium Paint is not applied too thickly. Do not brush excessively as this can cause softening of the substrate. The presence of moisture on the surface of rain falling before the Aluminium Paint has dried can also cause bronzing. Do not use in temperatures less than 5°C. STIR THOROUGHLY BEFORE USE.
