APPLICATION & USAGE
Coverage Rate
Approximately 0.62 gal per 100 sq ft (160 sq ft per gallon)
Application
Apply one coat at approximately 200 sq. ft. per gallon
SURFACE PREPARATION
Clean surface thoroughly with high-pressure cleaner over 250 PSI.
NOTES
- The surface should be cleaned to remove all contaminants, dirt, and any loose coating. A suitable surface is usually achieved using a high pressure water cleaner (greater than 2500 PSI).If surface is heavily contaminated with oil or other lubricant, the surface must be washed with a suitable degreaser or solvent before coating.
- Reinforce and seal any weak areas as needed.
- Apply one coat of NXT Metal Primer over clean, reinforced roof at a rate of 160 square feet per gallon.
- Allow 4-8 hours drying time between coats depending on temperature and humidity.
