Description
Bedec Super Flex Roof Coating. A flexible and elastomeric coating quickly applied by brush roller or spray which dries to form a high build seamless waterproof membrane. Economically prevents or cures all types of leaking roofs gutters and walls. Easy to apply Super-flex remains flexible and elastic to allow for movement of the substrate forming a long-life protective coating for weatherproofing roofs and walls.
USES: Bedec Super Flex is suitable for application to almost any surface including roofing tiles, slate, brick, concrete, corrugated iron, asbestos, asphalt, felt, copper, zinc, and most plastics and timber after suitable preparation.
Preparation
Make sure any surface to be painted is clean, dry and free any possible contaminants such as dirt or grease. Remove any loose paint, as well as any mould and fungal growths. Lightly abrade any smooth glossy surfaces to provide a key. Thin with approximately 30-40% fresh clean water for any untreated render, plaster, brickwork or any porous substrate. Conduct any necessary structural repairs before applying Bedec Super Flex.
Cracks and Jointing Treatment
After preparation and pre-treatment, cover all joints with PVC adhesive tape, in short lengths (approx. 24 ins /60 cm) to avoid stretching. Apply a thin coat of Super-Flex over the tape and immediate surrounding area. Stipple 6ins (15cm) polyester or glass fibre scrim evenly into the wet Super-Flex and allow to dry thoroughly. Apply a further thin coat of Super-Flex, with generous overlap on each side, and allow to dry.
Apply at least one further full coat of Super-Flex at the normal spreading rate and allow to dry. Ensure that the scrim membrane is properly embedded and flush to the contour of the surface. If the repair is on an area subject to standing water, the perimeter of the Super-Flex system should be extended to a normally dry section.
Application
Apply by brush, roller, conventional H.V.L.P or airless spray. Make sure to stir well and always check colour before use. We recommend using a test area first whenever possible. Do not apply at air or surface temperatures below 10°C or when likely to rain before the paint has fully dried
If repair involves only small-localised cracks or fractures, apply two full coats of Super-Flex over the treatment previously outlined. Where the complete roof surface is to be weatherproofed, after necessary preparation as outlined, apply two full coats of Super-Flex allowing thorough drying between each coat. In ALL cases, the Super-Flex finishing coats must be brushed at right angles to each other. On roof surfaces, Super-Flex finishing coats should be applied to a maximum of 2 sq metres per litre per coat. Apply by “laying on” and do not apply like paint.
DO NOT APPLY TO WET OR DAMP SURFACES, OR WHERE THESE IS A LIKELIHOOD OF RAIN OR FOG BEFORE THE SUPER-FLEX HAS DRIED. THE MANUFACTURER EMPHASISES THIS.
Coverage
The manufacturer estimates the coverage rate on a roof, when applied by a brush or roller, to be approximately 2 square metres per litre per coat. When applied by brush or roller to a wall the estimated coverage rate is 10 square metres per litre per coat. The coverage will depend upon the texture and porosity of the substrate. Spraying onto a roof is not advised, while spraying onto a wall will considerably reduce the coverage rate depending on the type of spray equipment used. Check the technical data sheet attached or the Bedec product page for further details.
Drying Time
Drying time is subject to conditions. The manufacturer estimates that the painted surface will be touch dry after 4-6 hours, and recoatable after drying overnight. Ensure good ventilation during application and drying.
