Liquid Roof and Liquid Rubber need temperatures above 55 degrees to cure. The temps can go below 55 but the product will not begin curing again until the temp's go above 55 degrees. Chemical Resistance-Cured EPDM rubber is resistant to acids, alkalis and polar solvents Cure system-Two-component Peroxide initiated Heat Resistance 302 degrees F (150 degrees C) Mixing Liquid Roof With The Catalyst Cure Mechanism-This rate is determined by temperature and the availability of oxygen. Oxygen is necessary to activate the catalyst, which promotes peroxide decomposition at lower temperatures. The cure mechanism in EPDM Liquid Rubber(R) will vary from active to inactive determined by temperature. Broad day-night temperature swings in spring and fall will not compromise the final physical properties of the Liquid Rubber(R) membrane. Physical Properties The physical properties of Liquid Rubber(R) are typical of its EPDM chemistry. The outstanding characteristics include: Extreme high resistance to penetration of water. Ultra Violet and Ozone stable. Excellent long term aging properties. Very broad temperature tolerance range (from 300 degrees F to minus 62 degrees F). Acid and alkali resistant Withstands ponding water even when not cured Spreading Rate A 20 mil dry film will result when liquid is applied at the rate of 42 sq. ft per gallon on a smooth surface. A rate of 45 sq. ft allows for average roughness. Weight/gallon 8 pounds (mixed) Tensile 680 psi Elongation 180-200% Brittle Point -62 degrees F. Liquid Roof; a true EPDM rubber Liquid Roof is a true EDPM rubber and is the only one sold in liquid form. Liquid roof makes installations easy. Liquid Roof could be described as a liquid version of the single ply EPDM membrane which has established and outstanding performance record of over 30 years. The EDPM chemistry has two unique features not possessed by any other rubber. It is unaffected by ultra-violet and ozone, and can tolerate continuous exposure at temperatures over 300 degrees F. The latter feature of liquid roof is also what gives EPDM rubbers the best aging properties (retain flexibility longer) of all elastomers. Liquid Roof Application Liquid Roof's one-coat application saves you time and money sealing and protecting your roof from roof leaks. Easily applied over Metal, Rubber, Fiberglass, Concrete, Fabric and Foam! No primer or top coat needed. Liquid roof can be applied with a paint brush, roller or squeegee. Liquid Roof liquid rubber is super-strong and waterproof, and is able to survive tremendous temperatures of warmth and chilly. Liquid Roof Features Some of the unique benefits of the liquid roof are: †Can be applied over all roofing materials; †UV and ozone resistant; †Excellent against ponding water; †Waterproofs IMMEDIATELY; †Not damaged by freezing and has long term flexibility; †Final cured properties not damaged by adverse conditions; †ONE coat application. Liquid Rubber Coatings For Roof Repair Its Uses â€Metal - Coated or Galvanized Steel Weathered Aluminum â€Weathered Copper â€EPDM Rubber membrane â€Concrete (except foot traffic surfaces) â€Urethane Foam â€Primed Wood â€Fiberglass EPDM lined fish ponds â€PVC Sheet and Pipe â€Acrylic Sheet â€Sponge Rubber insulation â€EPDM Rubber Membrane on flat or sloped Roofs â€Weathered Steel Siding â€Weathered Fiberglass â€Weathered standing seam and corrugated metal roofs â€Weathered Vinyl, PVC and Polycarbonate plastic â€Foam insulation for pipe â€Cast Concrete foundations Liquid Rubber is a unique product that has a successful track record in the world market for over 20 years. Liquid rubber has a resistance for the extremes of temperature. Liquid Rubber coating has 700% elasticity. Liquid Rubber forms a waterproof and seamless coating when dry after the application. Liquid Rubber retains its specifications in the temperature range of-20C to + 80C due to its resistance to UV and sunlight, can be used with full confidence even on places such as terraces and roofs that are under exposure to intense sunlight. Liquid roof features very high flexibility and crack-bridging ability.
