Aluminum Roof Coating 
Fibered 2#

DESCRIPTION
ALCO Aluminum Fibered Roof Coating 2# is a blend of refined asphalt, solvents, non-asbestos fillers and aluminum pigments. While not as brilliant as ALCO Alumagard, it is an effective coating where premium material is not required.

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

ADVANTAGES
· Economical top coat 
· Easy application  
· Lowers surface temperature of roof
· Turns away harmful UV rays
· 2# performance 
· Ready to use from the container

PREPARATION
Surface to be coated must be clean, completely dry and free of all dirt, dust and debris. Be sure that the roof is in good repair. All repairs must be done before aluminum coating application. 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 coating application. ALCO 24/7 Flashing Cement or Plastic Roof Cement can be used to repair flashing, blisters or voids.

APPLICATION
Stir contents thoroughly to ensure complete dispersion of aluminum pigments. DO NOT THIN. Pour aluminum coating a little at a time, and brush 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 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 aluminum coating. However, aluminum coating may be applied over ALCO emulsion roof coatings after curing (between 5 – 10 days under ideal weather conditions).
