Product Description: RE-ROOF EPDM Treatment is a single-component, low viscosity, liquid treatment that functions as a primer for existing EPDM membranes. REROOF EPDM Treatment is designed for use as part of Aquafin‘s RE-ROOF 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: • As a treatment for EPDM (ethylene propylene diene monomer) membranes. • To prepare existing EPDM roof surfaces to receive a RE-ROOF base coat. Advantages: • Nonflammable • Minimum overspray Surface Preparation: • All substrates must be strong, solid, and stable. • All roof drains must be unclogged and working properly. Roofs must be sloped according to industry standards to facilitate water removal. All water must drain and/or evaporate within 48 hours. • Install crickets and complete metal sheet work repairs. Tighten fasteners and replace any fasteners that have deteriorated. • All surfaces must be dry, clean and free from loose sand, dirt, dust and other foreign substances that could interfere with adhesion. • All surfaces containing oil, grease, or similar types of contamination must be thoroughly degreased using a roof cleaner that is appropriate for the substrate. Follow all written instructions for the roof cleaner and completely remove all residue left from the cleaning process. • EPDM (ethylene propylene diene monomer) membranes: Repair all seam and flashing failures. Pressure-wash the existing surface with water to clean and remove all foreign matter, dirt, and debris. Jobsite Preparation: Take all necessary precautions to ensure safety. • Cover all intake vents near the work area. Check our website for the latest version of the Technical Datasheet. www.aquafin.net

All data are averages of several tests under laboratory conditions. In practice climatic variations such as temperature, humidity, and porosity of substrate may affect these values.
• Provide a spill containment system to contain any potential spills of undiluted RE-ROOF EPDM Treatment. • In preparation for the cleaning and rising process, ensure that there is proper drainage on the roof area. Note: Wash water disposal procedures must be in compliance with local codes and regulations. • Ensure that CO2 or other dry chemical fire extinguishers are within easy access. • Hot surfaces should be cooled and shaded while cold surfaces should be heated and sheltered. Mixing: RE-ROOF EPDM Treatment is packaged ready-to-use. No mixing is required. Application: Read all instructions thoroughly prior to installation. Roof areas can encompass many different types of materials, especially in penetration and transition areas. For this reason, it is likely that several different primers will be required. • Primer (for field areas): Apply RE-ROOF EPDM Treatment over existing EPDM (ethylene propylene diene monomer) membranes in a 3 - 4 ft. arc pattern at a rate of 500 ft²/gallon using an airless sprayer, conventional pressure sprayer, or Hudson-type agricultural sprayer. • Allow RE-ROOF EPDM Treatment to dwell on surface of EPDM for at least 15 min. • Remove RE-ROOF EPDM Treatment from the surface of the EPDM by using a pressure washer (between 2000 - 3500 psi). Pressure washing should be done slowly and close to the surface of the EPDM in order to facilitate the complete removal of RE-ROOF EPDM Treatment and any contaminants. • Perform a thorough and final rinse of the entire surface with water using a pressure washer. Clear-colored rinse water that is free of any bubbles is an indication of an adequate rinsing technique. Allow EPDM surface to dry. • Primer (for flashing areas): Apply the appropriate primer(s) to all areas that will receive a RE-ROOF flashing such as edges, seams, joints, metal Page 1 of 2

RE-ROOF EPDM Treatment 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, dry mil thickness requirements, approx. coverage, curing and recoat times. Allow to cure and pay close attention to recoat times. • First Flashing Treatment: Treat edges, seams, joints, metal flashing, penetrations, and transitions with a RE-ROOF flashing. Include 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. Refer to the corresponding RE-ROOF flashing Technical Data Sheet for surface preparation, mixing and application instructions, dry mil thickness requirements, approx. coverage, curing and recoat times. Allow to cure and pay close attention to recoat times. • Second Flashing Treatment: Apply a second coat of a RE-ROOF flashing over all areas that received the first coat of a RE-ROOF flashing. Allow to cure and pay close attention to recoat times. • First Base Coat: Apply the first coat of a RE-ROOF Base Coat. Refer to the corresponding base coat Technical Data Sheet for surface preparation, mixing and application instructions, dry mil thickness requirements, approx. coverage, curing and recoat times. Overlap the RE-ROOF flashing by at least 6 inches (15 cm). Drying: • Allow surface of EPDM to completely dry before proceeding with the application of a RE-ROOF flashing or a RE-ROOF base coat. Drying time will vary, depending on temperature, humidity and air movement. Clean-up: Clean tools and equipment with water immediately after use. Packaging: RE-ROOF EPDM Treatment is packaged in a 5-gallon pail (18.9 liters).
Note: Proper application is the responsibility of the user. Field visits by AQUAFIN personnel are for the purpose of making technical recommendations and not for supervising or providing quality control on-site. Safety: Refer to SDS. For commercial use only. Ensure adequate ventilation in application area. Use Type C organic vapor cartridge respirators during spray application. Vapor inhalation problems are characterized by coughing, shortening of breath and tightness in the chest. Anyone exhibiting these types of symptoms should be immediately removed from the workplace and administered oxygen or fresh air. If the condition is prolonged or extreme, seek emergency medical assistance immediately. Avoid contact with skin and eyes. Wear fabric coveralls, neoprene gloves or other chemically resistant gloves and safety goggles during mixing and application. After contact with skin, wash with plenty of water. In case of eye contact, rinse immediately with plenty of water for 15 minutes and seek emergency medical assistance immediately. KEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN.
