Document record

The two-page quick specification summarizes the Color-Gard architectural roof coating system for metal roofs. The system uses a Color Prime 915 primer and two coats of High-Gloss Acrylic 215 in a custom color: a base coat for uniform dry mil thickness and a top coat for a low-build finish. The roof is pressure washed before coating.

The second page gives an adhesion test, a pre-inspection list covering HVAC flashing, water leakage, drainage, coping and flashing, and sign anchorage, and installation tips. Tips specify pressure washing with EcoCleaner 925 at 3000-4000 psi and a minimum of 24 hours between High-Gloss Acrylic 215 base and intermediate coats. Each coat must be applied to clean, dry, sound surfaces.

The technical data table lists Color Prime 915 at 40 ± 1% solids, 600-800 cps viscosity and 98 grams per liter VOC, and High-Gloss Acrylic 215 at 40 ± 2% solids, 300 ± 50% elongation, 1000 ± 50 psi tensile strength, 88% reflectivity, .89 emissivity and 100 + 10 KU viscosity. EcoCleaner 925 is listed at 8.3 pounds per gallon, a flash point above 212°F, 0 grams per liter VOC and a minimum application temperature of 40°F. The metal system is listed with a 10-year term and a total dry film thickness of 6 to 8 mils, covered by a 10-year color fade warranty.
