GOOD PRACTICE APPLICATION

• Cover everything that you do not want to paint.

• Apply between 10°C and 40°C. The substrate temperature should be between 10°C and 40°C.

• Relative humidity should be below 80%.

• Ensure that the substrate is at least 3°C above the dew point.

• For a slope of less than or equal to 3%, contact us.

• Do not apply if rain is expected within the next 24 hours.

SURFACE PREPARATION

• Surfaces must be clean, dry, and free of oil, grease, rust, and any other surface contamination.

• Remove all loose and flaking material to a solid and sound surface.

• Clean the surface with ELIXCLEAN* or SOAPCLEAN*, depending on the level of dirt.

• Surfaces with moss, mold, and/or algae should be treated with ATM PRO* or PROXYNET*.

• Surfaces with localized damage should be repaired with THERMACOTE ROOF REPAIR TAPE, COSMOFER* or CHOUKROUT*.

• Friable or powdery surfaces should be treated with ELIXFOND* or ELIXIMPRESS*.

METALLIC SURFACES

Ferrous:

• Remove all signs of corrosion by sand or grit blasting to SIS-Sa 2½.

• If blasting is not possible, surfaces should be manually prepared to SIS-St3 and primed with OWATROL PID 60 or OWATROL CIP.

Non-ferrous (Aluminum, Copper, Galvanized, etc.):

• Treat with OWATROL OWAPHOS.

DIFFICULT SURFACES

• Very old and dirty bituminous coatings.

• Areas of temporary water retention on flat roofs, i.e., areas subject to pooling. Prime with PRIMTHERM*.

• For all the above scenarios, refer to the THERMACOTE equipment and application guide for additional information.

SPECIFIC SURFACES

• These types of surfaces should be coated with an appropriate primer. Contact us for advice. For a slope of less than or equal to 3%, contact us.

APPLICATION

• The application of ThermaCote® requires an airless pump capable of maintaining a spray output rate of 8 L/min. Refer to the operating instructions and safety information of your airless pump.

• The resulting weight must always be adjusted to the substrate, its relief, and the desired aesthetic.

• In case of strong color contrast, an additional coat (ThermaCote or primer*) may be necessary.

• Recommended application pressure of 150 to 200 bar. Check the spray quality and adjust the pressure if necessary.

• ThermaCote® should be applied in coats of 250µm to 500µm WFT.

• The application is done in cross passes. 2 cross passes on smooth or slightly rough surfaces, 4 cross passes on very rough surfaces.

• Allow ThermaCote® to dry completely between coats (minimum 12h) when applying multiple coats.

• Refer to the THERMACOTE equipment and application guide for additional information or contact us.

RESTRICTIONS

• Not suitable for applications in swimming pools, tanks, water tarps, etc., and generally for any work where permanent contact with water is possible.

• Cannot be applied over surfaces treated with water repellents, e.g., silicone. When in doubt, contact us. Do not apply over old waterproofing systems (coatings, membranes).

SAFETY

• Refer to the safety data sheet (SDS) available on our website www.owatrol.com and the label text. Keep out of reach of children.
