ACRYLUX 100% ACRYLIC FLAT ROOF PAINT
Preparation and Application Guide
Acrylux Roof Paint is designed as a finish coat for a variety of roofs including: Cement Tile, Barrel Tile, Flat Tile, Color Through S-Tile, Asphalt*, and Metal Roofs.
SURFACE PREPARATION
Roof tile must be clean, dry, and free of any loose paint or foreign material. This type of preparation is most easily achieved by pressure cleaning with a minimum of 2500 psi. A light rinse of household Clorox mixed 10:1 with water (½ gal of Clorox to 4 ½ gallons of water). Clorox can be slippery, do not step in wet solution. Wear eye protection and protect grass and shrubbery.
APPLICATION
Apply roof paint as it comes from the container by brush, roller or airless sprayer. For roller application use a 1 ¼” X 9” good quality roller. Work directly from the 5-gal pail using liberal overlapping strokes. Use the roller sideways to paint the “butt” ends of the tile. If butt ends are very porous, it may be necessary to brush each row individually. For sprayer applications, use an airless sprayer with a tip size of .017 or greater. Backrolling may be necessary for maximum adhesion and penetration.
DRY TIME
In direct sunlight, Acrylux roof paint will be tack free in 1 to 2 hours and can be recoated at this time. Roof gloss may take slightly longer to dry. In overcast humid conditions, dry times may extend to 4 hours. Stop painting at least two hours before nightfall or when dew is expected. If it rains soon after paint has dried, a light foam may emit from the paint film, this is not unusual and does not affect the coating. If applied in very humid conditions, paint may not dry overnight, or may dry with surfactant staining (yellowing), this will go away with sunlight exposure.
