All <br />roof drains must be unclogged and working properly. Roofs must be <br />sloped according to industry standards to facilitate water removal. All <br />water must drain and/or evaporate within 48 hours. <br />• Concrete cracks and joints before the application of a PROTekt caulk or sealant: Chase all cracks to a depth of at least <br />2” (5.08 cm). Crack and joint edges must be at a straight <br />90° angle to the horizontal plane of the concrete slab. <br />Flush cracks and joints clean using an appropriate cleaning <br />solution and rinse well. Use clean, oil free, compressed air <br />to blow out any remaining dust, water, or debris prior to <br />installation. When repairing T-joints, cut joint to a depth of at <br />least 25% of the total depth of the slab. The side of the T-joint <br />must be cut 12” (20.4 cm) from the joint and a minimum of <br />2” (5.08 cm) deep. Allow time for cracks and joints to dry, or <br />use a heat gun to dry out damp cracks and joints. <br />• Vertical and horizontal concrete surfaces before the <br />application of an AQUAFIN-TC or ELASTOSEAL coating <br />system: Repair all spalled areas of concrete using a suitable <br />concrete repair product such as MORTAR-40 CI.

Mechanically remove mill scale, and rust by abrasive <br />blasting according to SSPC-SP6. <br />• Wood trim on roof areas before the application of a <br />RE-ROOF coating system: Wood surfaces are limited to <br />exterior trim and other non-structural exterior-approved wood <br />components. Sand wood to remove surface contaminants. <br />Then sweep and vacuum clean. <br />Concrete Moisture Testing: <br />Aquafin recommends moisture testing of all concrete slabs prior to <br />application of PRO-Tekt SP (Sealant Primer). However, moisture testing is <br />only a guideline and can be influenced by environmental factors. When in <br />doubt, contact Aquafin Technical Department or your local Aquafin Sales <br />Representative for information about Aquafin VAPORTIGHT COAT®-SG <br />products. <br />• Interior Concrete Slabs: Aquafin recommends testing to determine <br />moisture vapor emission rate (MVER) including “Anhydrous Calcium <br />Chloride” testing as per ASTM F 1869 on slabs to be treated, to <br />determine the MVER in lb/1000 ft2•24 hrs (grams/m2•hr) and to <br />determine RH content (%) as per ASTM F 2170. Do not use PRO-Tekt <br />SP (Sealant Primer) when readings are higher than 3 lbs MVER or 80% <br />RH. <br />• E xterior Concrete Slabs: To obtain an approximate measurement of <br />the moisture in exterior concrete slabs, Aquafin recommends using a <br />combination of in-situ RH content (%) testing and surface MC (%) testing <br />and then comparing the results. <br />Jobsite Preparation: <br />Take all necessary precautions to ensure safety. <br />• Cover all intake vents near the work area. <br />• Minimize or exclude all personnel not directly involved with the <br />application. <br />• Follow appropriate measures to prevent any sparks. <br />• Do not weld, smoke or allow any open flames during mixing, <br />application or curing. <br />• Ensure that CO2 or other dry chemical fire extinguishers are within easy <br />access. <br />Mixing: <br />Epoxy-polyamine primers are temperature sensitive and care should be <br />taken to condition all components to between 65°F to 75°F (18°C <br />to 24°C) prior to mixing and placement. Mix in a well ventilated area. <br />Check our website for the latest version of the Technical Datasheet. <br />www.aquafin.net</p> <p>The volume mixing ratio is 1 part A (black) to 1 part B (white) (1A:1B). <br />Carefully mix each part individually and then accurately measure out equal <br />volumes of component A and component B before combining together. <br />Mix for at least 3 minutes using a low speed drill with a jiffy mixing blade <br />or paddle. Occasionally scrape the sides of the container while mixing. For <br />best results, mix at slow speeds (300 – 500 rpm) to prevent entraining air, <br />and continue until a homogeneous mixture is achieved. Do not mix in an up <br />and down motion. <br />Installation: <br />Read all instructions thoroughly prior to installation. <br />• Only proceed with application when the temperatures remain between <br />50°F and 90°F (10°C and 32°C) and protect from freezing for 24 <br />hours after application. Do not apply PRO-Tekt SP (Sealant Primer) in <br />wet weather or if rain is imminent. PRO-Tekt SP (Sealant Primer) should <br />not become wet within 4 hours after application. Outside temperatures <br />should be falling (installation should be done in the late afternoon) and <br />primer should be applied at least 5°F (3°C) above the dew point. <br />• Cracks and joints in concrete: Apply PRO-Tekt SP (Sealant <br />Primer) evenly, using a brush or an airless sprayer. <br />• Concrete surfaces (prior to traffic coatings): Apply PRO-Tekt <br />SP (Sealant Primer) in a monolithic application at a rate of <br />300 ft²/gallon using an airless sprayer, brush, or 3/8“ nap <br />phenolic resin core roller. <br />• Roof flashing areas (concrete, masonry, galvanized steel <br />and wood trim surfaces): Apply PRO-Tekt SP (Sealant <br />Primer) to all areas that will receive a RE-ROOF flashing <br />such as edges, seams, joints, metal flashing, penetrations, <br />and transitions. See a RE-ROOF primer selection chart for <br />guidance. Refer to the corresponding primer Technical <br />Data Sheet for surface preparation, mixing and application <br />instructions, dry mil thickness requirements, approx. coverage, <br />curing and recoat times. Allow to cure and pay close <br />attention to recoat times. <br />• Roof field areas (concrete and galvanized steel): Apply <br />PRO-Tekt SP (Sealant Primer) over concrete and galvanized <br />steel roofs in preparation for a RE-ROOF base coat. Apply <br />PRO-Tekt SP (Sealant Primer) in a monolithic application at a <br />rate of 150 - 225 ft²/gallon to achieve a minimum of 5 mils <br />WFT (wet film thickness). Use an airless sprayer, brush, or <br />3/8“ nap phenolic resin core roller. Overlap the RE-ROOF <br />flashing by at least 6 inches (15 cm). Allow to cure and pay <br />close attention to recoat times. <br />Curing: <br />• Allow to cure (to touch) until no longer tacky [typically 3 - 5 hours at <br />75°F (24°C) and 50% relative humidity]. <br />• Curing time will vary, depending on surface temperatures, air <br />temperatures, and humidity. <br />• Once PRO-Tekt SP (Sealant Primer) is no longer tacky, apply subsequent <br />caulk, sealant, or coating within a maximum of 16 hours. Refer to the <br />respective caulk, sealant, or coating Technical Data Sheet for additional <br />information. <br />• If PRO-Tekt SP (Sealant Primer) has been allowed to remain tack free for <br />more than 16 hours, re-prime with PRO-Tekt SP (Sealant Primer). <br />Clean-up: <br />TOOLS & EQUIPMENT: Remove fresh/uncured material with an <br />approved solvent. Cured material can only be removed mechanically. <br />MATERIAL: Dispose of in accordance with local, state and federal <br />disposal regulations.</p> <p>Page 2 of 3</p> <p>(updated 11/14/22-EKAC)</p> <p>PRO-Tekt SP (Sealant Primer) <br />Limitations: <br />• Do not dilute or thin product. <br />• PRO-Tekt SP (Sealant Primer) is not UV stable. <br />• Do not mix more than can be used in 20 mins [based on 75°F (24°C) <br />& 50% RH]. <br />• Large mixed batches, high temperatures, and high humidity will <br />significantly reduce the pot life and accelerate the cure time. Cooler <br />temperatures, and low humidity will extend the curing time. <br />• Once containers have been opened, use material as soon as possible. <br />• Consult Aquafin Technical Department when mixing or placing outside <br />of the temperature recommendations listed. <br />• PRO-Tekt SP (Sealant Primer) is not California compliant. <br />Coverage: <br />• As a primer for caulks, sealants, and traffic coatings: Approximately <br />300 ft² per gal (7.36 m² per liter). <br />• As a primer for roof flashing and roof coatings: Approximately 150 ft² <br />to 225 ft² per gal (3.68 m² to 5.52 m² per liter). <br />Coverage will vary depending on jobsite conditions such as surface <br />texture and absorption.</p> <p>LIMITED WARRANTY: AQUAFIN, INC. warrants this product for a period of one year <br />from the date of installation to be manufactured free of defects and to be consistent <br />with its technical properties as stated in our current Technical Data Sheet.
