Product overview

Restore a prepared metal roof with a continuous KoolFlex silicone coating. Metal Silicone combines repaired joints and fasteners with a silicone finish suited to prolonged sunlight and standing-water exposure.

Consider this system where water retention and exposed weathering influence the coating choice. Repair drainage defects and damaged panels first; coating does not correct structural or attachment problems.

Matched current documents

The following current files are connected directly to this product record. Older revisions remain in the archive when moderators retire them.

Design and specification coordination

Use these checks to connect the product record to a complete, project-specific assembly. The manufacturer documents and approved construction documents govern where they provide more specific requirements.

  • Identify the existing substrate and verify adhesion, primer and repair requirements before coating.
  • Confirm required coverage rate, wet and dry film thickness, number of coats and reinforcement at seams and penetrations.
  • Record surface preparation, moisture limits, application temperature, weather window and cure time.
  • Coordinate drainage, ponding-water limitations and treatment of rust, blisters, wet insulation and failed details.
  • Use the current product data and safety data sheets together when planning storage, handling and application.

Submittal and field verification

A useful product record should allow a reviewer to trace what was specified, approved, delivered and installed. Include the following items when this product is proposed or verified.

  • Use the exact product name and manufacturer identifier on the submittal; do not substitute a similar family name.
  • Attach the current product data sheet and the applicable installation, safety, approval and warranty documents.
  • Record selected options such as size, thickness, profile, color, finish, reinforcement and attachment method.
  • Identify the tested or approved assembly and list each adjoining component needed to reproduce it.
  • At delivery, compare labels and revision dates with the approved record and archive superseded files instead of overwriting them.

Selection, installation and existing-roof checks

Confirm the exact product name, generation and configuration before using any value on this page. Check the roof substrate, slope, attachment or adhesive, reinforcement, edge and penetration details, accessories, tested assembly and local approval that apply to the project. For an existing roof, compare labels, package records, original submittals and physical dimensions; appearance alone is not enough to identify a product.

Your roof substrate

Your metal roof sheds water across profiled panels joined at side laps and end laps. Exposed-fastener roofs, including R-panel roofs, also have washers and screws that need attention. Sound panels can remain in place while loose fasteners, open joints and localized corrosion are repaired.

Where to use this system

Consider this system where water retention and exposed weathering influence the coating choice. Repair drainage defects and damaged panels first; coating does not correct structural or attachment problems.

Preparation and adhesion

Clean the panels and remove loose coatings. Repair damaged metal, secure fasteners and check seams, flashings and penetrations. Use P-309 only on rusted areas that suit its preparation requirements; do not apply it to intact galvanized, painted or non-rusted metal. Rinse treated areas before applying an acrylic coating.

How the coating layers work

Complete corrosion repairs and any required priming. Seal joints and fasteners with compatible silicone detail treatment, then apply KoolFlex Premium Silicone to the specified film build. Keep the repair materials compatible with the silicone finish.

Coating thickness

Specify the minimum cured silicone thickness for your chosen assembly and allow separately for primer and detail treatment. The KF-600 sheet has conflicting coverage and wet-film figures. Its 20-mil NSF entry is not a roof-warranty thickness schedule; use the corrected roof-system application schedule.

Guarantee options

KF-600 KoolFlex Premium Silicone offers full-system limited warranty options from 5 to 20 years. Select the written option for your roof, then confirm the required coating build, preparation, inspections and maintenance. A component sheet alone does not establish your project’s coverage.

Care and recoating

Inspect the roof at least twice a year and after severe weather or work on rooftop equipment. Keep drains clear, check flashings and penetrations, and repair damage with compatible materials. Confirm the surface preparation and compatibility requirements before any future recoat.

Identification and compatibility

Your metal roof sheds water across profiled panels joined at side laps and end laps. Exposed-fastener roofs, including R-panel roofs, also have washers and screws that need attention. Sound panels can remain in place while loose fasteners, open joints and localized corrosion are repaired.

Compatibility considerations

Clean the panels and remove loose coatings. Repair damaged metal, secure fasteners and check seams, flashings and penetrations. Use P-309 only on rusted areas that suit its preparation requirements; do not apply it to intact galvanized, painted or non-rusted metal. Rinse treated areas before applying an acrylic coating.
