Product Description: RE-ROOF Acrylic Flashing is a single component, fast-drying, elastomeric, acrylic liquid flashing designed for Aquafin‘s RE-ROOF Acrylic System. The RE-ROOF System is an eco-friendly, reliable solution for new roofs and cost-effective option for extending the life of existing roof systems. Typical Applications: • For edges, seams, joints, flashing, transitions, and penetration reinforcement. • Apply RE--ROOF Acrylic Flashing over a wide variety of common roof materials that have been primed with the appropriate Aquafin primer. Advantages: • Quick and easy application with a paint brush • Resistant to mold growth • Easy water clean-up Priming and Surface Preparation: • RE-ROOF Acrylic Flashing requires a primer for all applications. Select the appropriate primer(s) based on the type of substrate(s) and surface material(s) from the list below. • BUR: use RE-ROOF Primer WB • EPDM: use RE-ROOF EPDM Treatment • Galvanized Steel: use PRO-Tekt SP (Sealant Primer) • Masonry: use PRO-Tekt SP (Sealant Primer) • Modified Bitumen: use RE-ROOF Primer WB • PVC: use RE-ROOF Primer PO • TPO: use RE-ROOF Primer PO • Wood (trim only): use PRO-Tekt SP (Sealant Primer) • Refer to the corresponding primer Technical Data Sheet for surface preparation instructions and other important information. • Ensure RE-ROOF Acrylic Flashing is applied to primed substrate within the required recoat times. • Primed substrates must be dry, clean and free of dirt, dust, grease, oil, and other foreign substances that could interfere with adhesion. Jobsite Preparation: • Take all necessary precautions to ensure safety. • Minimize or exclude all personnel not directly involved with the application.

RE-ROOF Acrylic Flashing • Only proceed with application when ambient temperature is minimum of 50°F (10°C) and falling, and more than 6°F (3°C) above dew point. Temperatures must be maintained within this range for at least 48 hours after the installation. Do NOT proceed with application when the temperatures drop below 50°F (10°C), if precipitation is expected, or if humidity is at or above 90%. Coating should not become wet within 72 hours after application. Special precautions are to be taken when ambient and/or substrate temperatures are approaching, at, or above 105°F (41°C) and it may be necessary to limit material application to evening hours. • Hot surfaces should be cooled and shaded while cold surfaces should be heated and sheltered. Mixing: • Condition material to 70°F to 80°F (21°C to 27°C) prior to mixing and application. • Use chemical resistant (Nitrile) gloves and goggles when mixing or applying RE-ROOF Acrylic Flashing. • Open container and mix at slow speeds (not exceeding 500 rpm) for 1–2 minutes to evenly distribute pigments and other ingredients that may have settled, until a homogeneous mixture is achieved. Thoroughly scrape sides of pail as material is mixed. Boxing material is recommended to ensure color uniformity. • Use caution not to whip air into the material as this may result in pinhole blisters and/or shortened pot life. Do not mix in an up and down motion. Application: Read all instructions thoroughly prior to installation. • Primer (for flashing areas): Apply the appropriate primer(s) to all areas that will receive RE-ROOF Acrylic Flashing such as edges, seams, joints, metal flashing, penetrations, and transitions. See primer selection chart for guidance. Refer to the corresponding primer Technical Data Sheet for surface preparation, mixing and application instructions, DFT (dry film thickness) requirements, approx. coverage, drying and recoat times. • First Flashing Treatment: Apply the first coat of RE-ROOF Acrylic Flashing in a monolithic application using a brush or trowel at a rate of 50 ft²/ gallon to achieve a minimum of 25 mils WFT (wet film thickness). Apply at drains, fasteners, guide wire straps, gutters, inside and outside corners, joints, machine legs, parapet walls and caps, pipes, protrusions, rake edges, round projections, screws, seams, signposts, skylights, voids, and any areas where water could enter through the roof. Extend RE-ROOF Acrylic Flashing at least 3“ over all sides of the edges, seams, joints, metal flashing, penetrations and transitions. • Non-Woven Polyester Reinforcing Roof Fabric: While the first coat of RE-ROOF Acrylic Flashing is still fresh/wet, set a high quality non-woven polyester reinforcing roof fabric into the first coat. Using the tip of a brush saturated in RE-ROOF Acrylic Flashing, move along the fabric and work out all wrinkles, eliminate all fish mouths, and ensure that the fabric lays flat on the underlying surface(s) without any space or voids. Note: The coating application should be wider than the width of the fabric so that the coating is extended at least 1” inch past the edges of the fabric on all sides. Allow first coat of RE-ROOF Acrylic Flashing to dry and pay close attention to recoat times. • Second Flashing Treatment: Apply a second coat of RE-ROOF Acrylic Flashing in a monolithic application using a brush or trowel at a rate of 50 ft²/gallon to achieve a minimum of 25 mils WFT (wet film thickness). Completely saturate the non-woven polyester reinforcing roof fabric and extend the coating at least 1” inch past the edges of the fabric on all sides. Allow to dry and pay close attention to recoat times. • Primer (for field areas): Apply the appropriate primer to the field areas in preparation for RE-ROOF Acrylic Base Coat. Refer to the
corresponding primer Technical Data Sheet for surface preparation, mixing and application instructions, DFT (dry film thickness) requirements, approx. coverage, drying and recoat times. Overlap the flashing according to the primer instructions. Allow to dry and pay close attention to recoat times. • First Base Coat: Apply RE-ROOF Acrylic Base Coat as the first base coat. Refer to the RE-ROOF Acrylic Base Coat Technical Data Sheet for surface preparation, mixing and application instructions, WFT (wet film thickness) requirements, DFT (dry film thickness) requirements, approx. coverage, drying and recoat times. Allow to dry and pay close attention to recoat times. • Second Base Coat: Apply RE-ROOF Acrylic Base Coat as the second base coat. Allow to dry and pay close attention to recoat times. Inspect the surface for damage prior to the application of RE-ROOF Acrylic Top Coat as a top coat. Any surface damage must be repaired with RE-ROOF Acrylic Base Coat prior to the application of the top coat. • First Top Coat: Apply the first coat of RE-ROOF Acrylic Top Coat. Refer to the RE-ROOF Acrylic Top Coat Technical Data Sheet for surface preparation, mixing and application instructions, WFT (wet film thickness) requirements, DFT (dry film thickness) requirements, approx. coverage, drying and recoat times. Allow to dry and pay close attention to recoat times. • Second Top Coat: Apply the second coat of RE-ROOF Acrylic Top Coat. Allow to dry and pay close attention to recoat times. • Third Top Coat: Apply the third coat of RE-ROOF Acrylic Top Coat Allow to dry and pay close attention to recoat times. • Fourth Top Coat: Apply the fourth coat of RE-ROOF Acrylic Top Coat. Allow to dry. Drying: • Drying time for RE-ROOF Acrylic Flashing is typically 24 hours at 75°F (24°C) and 50% relative humidity. • Apply second coat of RE-ROOF Acrylic Base Coat within a maximum of 48 hours after the first coat of RE-ROOF Acrylic Base Coat. • Apply RE-ROOF Acrylic Topcoat over RE-ROOF Acrylic Base Coat within a maximum of 48 hours after the application of RE-ROOF Acrylic Base Coat. • Allow to dry for at least 72 hours [based on 75°F (24°C) and 50% relative humidity] before permitting light pedestrian traffic on the finished surface. Limitations: • Do not dilute under any circumstance. • Do not apply over spray polyurethane foam roofing. • High temperatures and low humidity will accelerate the dry time. Low temperatures and high humidity will extend the dry time.
Clean-up: Clean tools and equipment with warm soapy water immediately after use, while still fresh/wet. Hardened/dried material must be removed mechanically. Packaging: RE-ROOF Acrylic Flashing is packaged in a 3.5-gallon pail (13 liters). Shelf Life & Storage: • 12 months in unopened, original packaging when stored at temperatures between 50°F and 80°F (10°C to 27°C). • Keep containers closed, store in a dry, cool place away from heat, direct sun, sparks, open flame, and moisture. • Protect material from freezing.
