Modified Bitumen RubberThane

Combine a flexible KwikShot rubber base with a U-701 aliphatic urethane finish. Modified Bitumen RubberThane pairs movement accommodation at the roof surface with an abrasion-resistant protective topcoat.

Consider RubberThane where maintenance activity and demanding exposure call for a tougher finish over a sound modified-bitumen roof. Assess traffic routes separately from the general coating area.

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• At delivery, compare labels and revision dates with the approved record and archive superseded files instead of overwriting them.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

Consider RubberThane where maintenance activity and demanding exposure call for a tougher finish over a sound modified-bitumen roof. Assess traffic routes separately from the general coating area.

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

Repair and prepare the cap sheet, build the specified KwikShot rubber base, and finish with U-701 Aliphatic Urethane Topcoat. Follow the system-specific adhesion, curing and recoating requirements between the rubber and urethane layers.

Coating thickness

Specify the rubber-base and urethane-finish thicknesses as separate layers, along with the total cured build. Follow the coat sequence and cure intervals in the approved assembly. Component strength, elongation and abrasion-test figures are not application thicknesses.

Guarantee options

Select the complete RubberThane assembly and written guarantee together. Confirm the term, minimum cured build, adhesion requirements and inspections for your roof. Keep material-only and labor-and-material coverage distinct; a coating’s service-life target is not a guarantee.

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.
