Aluminium Solar Reflective Paint

Name: Aluminium Solar Reflective Paint

A thin, bituminous based aluminium protective coating of brushing consistency that dries to a silvery solar reflective finish for use over bituminous coatings and primed steel. Provides high level of protection against solar degradation and heat gain.

Features: Light/ heat reflective finish. – Prevents heat build-up. – Contains an aluminium pigment. – Superior alternative to chippings. – Prolongs the lifespan of bituminous roofs. – Protects the surface against the harmful UV rays. -Protects metal roofs, steel and corrugated iron.

Application: Provides high level of protection against solar degradation and heat gain. Suitable for use over bituminous coatings, aged asphalt roofs and primed steel. Apply by brush or mohair roller. See Technical Data Sheet for full application details.

Instructions: Preparation: All surfaces must be structurally sound, clean, dry and free from surface contaminants such as grease, rust and dirt. If necessary, remove any organic growth i.e. lichen, with a fungicidal wash such as Bond It Mould Stop. If the surface is still dusty after cleaning, or covered with weathered bitumen, prime with Bitumen Primer and allow to dry.
Application: STIR VERY THOROUGHLY BEFORE USE. Do not thin. Apply immediately and continue stirring periodically during use. Apply by brush or mohair roller When brushing, use soft bristle brushes applying the lightest of pressure. The product will appear bronze coloured in the tin, but will turn silver as it dries. Over recently applied bituminous surfaces allow the following minimum periods to elapse after the final coat has dried before applying ALUMINIUM SOLAR REFLECTIVE PAINT:- hot applied coatings ‐ 24 hours; – solvent based coatings ‐ 10 days ; – water based coatings ‐ 14 days. Apply 2 coats, the second coat being applied as soon as the first coat is dry. Over bituminous surfaces apply the thinnest coat necessary to obliterate the black colour of the bitumen coating for the first coat. The second coat should also be thin. Avoid the formation of pools. Do not apply when rain, frost or overnight dew are expected before the coating is fully dry, as bronzing of the surface may result if these conditions are not observed. When applying to large areas on bright days it is advisable to wear polarized sunglasses to reduce glare. Cleaning: Clean with paraffin (kerosene) or Bond It White Spirit.

Limitations: It is not suitable for direct application to expanded polystyrene.
