ALUMAGARD
Fibered Aluminum Roof Coating

DESCRIPTION
ALCO Alumagard Fibered Aluminum Roof Coating consists of a high quality oxidized cutback asphalt,  fiber fillers and premium quality aluminum pigments which flake and float to the surface upon application.

USE
· Excellent over metal roofs
· Recommended for asphalt roofs and Modified Bitumen Membrane

ADVANTAGES
· Lowers surface temperature of roof by as much a 15° F 
· Can turn away over 70% of harmful UV rays  
· Easy application
· Excellent Coverage
· Economical   
· Premium 3# performance
· UL Approved
· FM Approved   
· Energy Star Partner

PREPARATION
The roof surface must be completely dry and free of dirt, dust and debris before application. Be sure that all necessary repairs are done to the roof surface. Be sure metal surfaces are wire brushed and swept clean. This will ensure proper adhesion. In some cases ALCO Primer may be advisable. Allow primer to dry for 24 hours before aluminum application. ALCO24/7 Flashing Cement or Plastic Roof Cement can be used to repair flashing, blisters or voids.

APPLICATION
Use directly from the container. Mix contents thoroughly to insure complete dispersion of aluminum pigments. DO NOT THIN. Pour Alumagard Fibered coating on roof, a little at a time, and brush like any roof coating, brushing in one direction only. Over brushing causes some of the aluminum sheen to lessen, resulting in inferior reflective qualities.

For best results, apply on a warm (60° F), sunny day with no rain in the forecast. The presence of moisture will create a rapid “browning out”. The warm temperatures will soften the asphalt content and allow the aluminum pigments to rise to the surface for maximum reflectivity. New asphalt roof surfaces should weather a minimum of 90 days before applying Alumagard. However, Alumagard may be applied over ALCO emulsion roof coatings after curing (between 5 – 10 days) without staining.
