SYNROOF

DESCRIPTION
SYNROOF is a versatile acrylic elastomeric waterproof coating. It cures to a highly flexible, tough seamless membrane for the protection of all kinds of roofs.

Non-Traffic roofs : Place a non woven polyester separation layer (Alyaf or similar) over the insulation boards. Then cover to a minimum depth of 5 cm with 15/30 gauge washed gravel. For thicker insulation boards, the gravel depth should at least be equal to that of the board thickness.

COVERAGE
1 Sq. mtr/kg to obtain 500 micron dry film thickness.

STORAGE
Store under cover at temperature above 5° C. and below 30° C. Minimum shelf life of one year in unopened containers can be expected.

PRECAUTIONS
1. Bitumen or asphalt roof surfaces to receive a coating of SYNROOF should thoroughly dry.
2. Never apply if rain is imminent.
3. Application at temperatures below +5° C may result in incomplete film formation, with reduced elasticity and the possibility of cracks forming
4. Do not use SYNROOF on areas that will be constantly submerged in water.

PACKING
20 kg. metal pail.

STANDARDS
SYNROOF is tested as per ASTM test methods and report is available on specific request.

HEALTH AND SAFETY
Generally safe, non-toxic and non-flammable whilst wet. However, avoid prolonged skin contact. Use of cream, gloves is advisable. If eyes are affected by SYNROOF, rinse with copious amount of clean water. If ingested, seek medical attention immediately. 

USES
SYNROOF is suitable for application to most types of roofs, flat or pitched eg., concrete, metal, asbestos, wood etc. It also forms a heat and solar reflecting membrane.

OUTSTANDING FEATURES
1.Strong and flexible

2. Excellent adhesion to substrate.
3.Vapour permeable.
4.Resistant to aging and UV radiation.
5.Designed to be used in the Middle East  climatic conditions.                         
6.Single pack.
7.Labour saving.
8.Safe, non-flammable, non-toxic.
9.Easy to apply.

COLOURS
Satin white and grey.

INSTALLATION
SURFACE PREPARATION

Roof and other surfaces must be thoroughly clean, dry, free from moss, dirt, oil, grease and loosely adhering materials. In case of metal surfaces, remove rust and contamination and apply a coat of anti-corrosive primer. To achieve best results, a fiber mesh reinforcing mat should be embedded into first coat of SYNROOF whilst still wet mainly at expansion areas and joints with parapet. Depending on the nature of substrate, a priming coat with SYNROOF diluted with 20% water may be required.

APPLICATION
By soft bristle brush, roller or airless spray. Minimum 1 mm thick dry film is recommended for a satisfactory performance and perfect recoating interval is 8 hours at 30 Deg. C., 65% RH.

CURING
Allow 24 hours for the final curing to take place at normal working temperatures. Complete curing is required before any insulation or protection board is placed.

MECHANICAL PROTECTION
Traffic roofs : Maximum protection can be achieved by insitu screed. Use a Kraft paper or polyethylene separation layer over the insulation boards. Then lay a topping screed of 4 cm to 5 cm thickness. 

Incorporation of reinforcement increases the dry film properties considerably.
