Product overview

Restore sound modified-bitumen cap sheets with a KwikShot rubber base and TopShot acrylic finish. Modified Bitumen Acrylic seals vulnerable laps and transitions before adding a reflective coating over the repaired roof.

Choose this acrylic approach for serviceable modified-bitumen roofs with positive drainage, particularly where worn surfaces and localized detail repairs are the main concerns.

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  • At delivery, compare labels and revision dates with the approved record and archive superseded files instead of overwriting them.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 modified-bitumen roof has asphalt-based membrane sheets joined at laps, with either a smooth finish or protective mineral granules. Heat, sunlight and repeated movement can leave cracks, worn cap sheets and stressed transitions. A restoration coating follows repair of those defects; it cannot dry wet insulation or secure a loose membrane.

Where to use this system

Choose this acrylic approach for serviceable modified-bitumen roofs with positive drainage, particularly where worn surfaces and localized detail repairs are the main concerns.

Preparation and adhesion

Remove dirt and loose material, repair open laps and splits, and check the cap sheet is firmly bonded. Investigate trapped moisture and persistent drainage problems before coating. For silicone, apply the specified asphalt bleed-block primer so oils from the roof do not discolor the finish.

How the coating layers work

Prepare and repair the cap sheet, then apply the specified KwikShot rubber treatment at laps, penetrations and transitions. Complete the assembly with the selected TopShot acrylic topcoat. Keep the field build and detail build separate in the application schedule.

Coating thickness

Specify the cured thickness of the rubber base and acrylic finish separately. Measure wet-film thickness during application and dry-film thickness after cure. The TS-400 sheet contains conflicting coverage and wet-film figures, so use a corrected assembly schedule for quantities and acceptance checks.

Guarantee options

With TS-505 TopShot EDGE, 10–20-year material warranty options and fee-based 10–20-year labor-and-material options are available under its published terms. Coverage is for the original purchaser and is non-transferable. Match your selected system, application thickness and inspection requirements to the written warranty before work begins.

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 modified-bitumen roof has asphalt-based membrane sheets joined at laps, with either a smooth finish or protective mineral granules. Heat, sunlight and repeated movement can leave cracks, worn cap sheets and stressed transitions. A restoration coating follows repair of those defects; it cannot dry wet insulation or secure a loose membrane.

Compatibility considerations

Remove dirt and loose material, repair open laps and splits, and check the cap sheet is firmly bonded. Investigate trapped moisture and persistent drainage problems before coating. For silicone, apply the specified asphalt bleed-block primer so oils from the roof do not discolor the finish.
