3 – EXECUTION

C.3.1 PREPARATION OF METAL PANEL WAREHOUSE ROOF

A. Contractor shall determine the condition of the existing structural deck/substrate.

All defects in the deck or substrate shall be corrected before new solvent-based elastomeric coating commences. Areas of deteriorated deck/substrate, porous or other affected materials must be removed and replaced with new to match existing.

B. Surface preparation is the most critical procedural requirement in paint applied coating systems. Remove all loose particles, delaminated paint, oil, grease, laitance, efflorescence, mild, mildew and other foreign materials. Areas shall be first scraped, swept clean, and then thoroughly power washed. Use high power adjustable pressure washer with a minimum 3500 PSI (Pounds per Square Inch) mechanical spray device.

C. Each individual container of elastomeric primer and topcoats shall be thoroughly mixed using a heavy-duty drill on slow RPM (Revolutions per Minute) with an elongated mixing paddle bit that will reach the bottom of the container. Coating shall be a uniform color, with no light or dark streaks present.

D. Coatings shall be applied in temperatures of fifty degrees Fahrenheit (50°F / 10°C) or greater.

E. Where concrete surfaces exist (CAC), concrete substrate shall be dry with a maximum moisture content of five (5) percent. Inspect substrates, and correct defects before application of new waterproofing. Fill all surface voids greater than 1/8 inch wide with a patching aggregate fill material.

F. Repair corroded or unsound metal surfaces and flashings for preparation of coating application.

G. Metal surfaces are to be clean and dry prior to primer application.

H. Repair adjacent metal sections of receivers, sealant joints, and counter-flashings and apply a continuous bead of sealant in lap.

I. Substrate shall receive a rust inhibitor polymer primer (C.2.2.C & C.3.5) for adhesion to metal surfaces.

C.3.2 THINNING SOLVENT-BASED ELASTOMERIC FOR SPRAY EQUIPMENT

A. Thinning Mix: One-quart mineral spirits to 5 gallons solvent-based elastomeric.

1. Pour 1 gallon from a 5-gallon pail coating into another container. Add one-quart mineral spirits to 4 gallons and mix thoroughly. Use an electric drill and mixing paddle. Add portions of the removed 1 gallon and continue to mix until the coating is properly thinned.

2. Spray apply thinned elastomeric coating in two coats to meet minimum thickness.

B. Additional Thinning Mix: Maximum two quarts mineral spirits to 5 gallons elastomeric.

1. Spray apply thinned elastomeric coating in three coats to meet minimum thickness.

C. DO NOT thin elastomeric coatings for brush or roller applications.

C.3.3 PRIMER COAT APPLICATION for METAL SURFACES

A. Metal surfaces and substrates to receive Rust Inhibitive Metal Primer.

B. Coverage rate: Apply at 0.7–1.4 gallons (2.65-5.30L) per 100 square feet (9 SM) C. Brush, roll or spray the primer evenly onto the surface to fully saturate the substrate in one application with brush or roller: multiple applications with sprayer. DO NOT allow primer to pond or collect in low areas. Apply primer up to the perimeter roof edge of the flashing terminations and penetrations.

D. Areas observed with residual “bleed” through of prior surfacing causing discoloration shall be re-primed to prevent discoloration.

E. Allow standard metal primer to cure for a minimum of four (4) hours before application of elastomeric base coatings.

F. DO NOT apply elastomeric coatings over; primer prematurely exposed to excessive moisture, primer used as temporary waterproofing, or primer older than eight (8) days. Exposure of the primer to UV and/or weather in excess of eight (8) days may require removal and application of new primer.

C.3.4 BASECOAT APPLICATION and REINFORCING FABRIC EMBEDMENT

A. Coverage rate: Apply initial elastomeric basecoat at 0.7–1.4 gallons (2.65-5.30L) per 100 square feet (9 SM)

B. Reinforcing fabric embedment requires either hand brush or roller application to evenly lay the fabric within the basecoat. The basecoat shall be rolled or brushed liberally and evenly onto the surface using a broad, even strokes.

1. The polyester fabric can only hold so much basecoat and all excess shall be rolled forward to the unsaturated fleece, eliminating ponding or excessive build-up.

C. Reinforcing Fabric on Metal Roof Vertical & Horizontal Seams: Apply 100mm fabric on metal panel seams and overlaps. Roll out polyester fabric (natural unrolling procedure) into the basecoat. The fabric will begin to rapidly saturate with the elastomeric basecoat.

D. Use a medium nap roller or brush to work the basecoat into the fabric, saturating from the bottom up, and eliminating air bubbles, folds, and wrinkles.

1. The appearance of the saturated fabric shall be light opaque with no white spots. White spots are indications of unsaturated fabric or lack of adhesion.

E. Allow 50mm overlap for all side joints and 100mm overlap for all end joints.

F. Apply the Flashing Grade Elastomeric Coating at all exposed metal panel fasteners after ensuring that the fasteners are tight. Replace loose fasteners.

G. Apply a final basecoat on top of fabric to finish the saturation process or the embedment of the fabric into the elastomeric basecoat. Rolling this final coating into the fabric, shall result in a semi-gloss appearance.

H. Allow basecoat to cure for a minimum of twenty-four (24) hours before application of the finish coats depending on climate and humidity.

C.3.5 FLASHING DETAILING

A. Using a trowel or heavy brush, apply the Flashing Grade coating at any areas where there are difficult terminations, penetrations, flashings, seams, or transitional joints, including gutters. It may be applied to both difficult surfaces and will bridge gaps up to 12mm in width.

B. Reinforcing fabric may be embedded in flashing coat for additional strength and mobility. Please understand that the flashing grade coating is thick and may cause unnecessary wrinkles and gaps in the fabric. Fabric must be used to bridge large openings in conjunction with the Flashing Grade Elastomeric Coating.

C. Reinforce all inside and outside corners with a 100mm diameter conical piece of fabric prior to installing the flashing layer.

D. Flashing is typically constructed as a two-part assembly consisting of a vertical wrap and a horizontal target patch. There must be a minimum of a 100mm overlap between vertical and horizontal flashing components.

E. Flashing material shall extend 100mm minimum onto gutters or insert flanges.

C.3.6 TOPCOAT APPLICATION

A. Coverage rate: Apply topcoats at 0.7–1.4 gallons (2.65-5.30L) per 100 square feet (9 SM). Based on first topcoat smooth texture, the second topcoat may be reduced to 0.5 gallons (2.50L) to 100 square feet (9 SM).

B. Brush, roll or spray the elastomeric topcoat evenly onto the surface to fully saturate the primed surfaces in one application with brush or roller: multiple applications with sprayer. DO NOT allow coating to pond or collect in low areas.

C. Apply elastomeric topcoat up to the perimeter roof edge.

D. Allow to cure for a minimum of twenty-four (24) hours before second finish coat.

E. DO NOT allow any excess coating to remain on the surface, the correct amount of coating will leave no fibrous surface texture from the fleece fabric. The final coating should be smooth, uniform, and bright white.

F. Dry finish (1 prime coat + 1 basecoat + 2 topcoats) thickness: 48 mils.

C.3.7 FIELD QUALITY CONTROL

A. The Consulate or OBO may direct Contractor to stop applying coatings if results show materials being used do not comply with specified requirements or coating materials and accessories are not compatible. Contractor shall remove noncomplying coating materials from site, pay for testing, and recoat surfaces.

C.3.8 CLEANING and ADJUSTING

A. After completing coating application, clean spattered surfaces. Remove spattered coatings by washing, scraping, or other methods. Do not scratch or damage adjacent finished surfaces.

B. During progress of work, remove discarded paint materials, rubbish, cans, and rags from site at end of each workday. Thoroughly mixed and cured coating products may be disposed of in standard landfills. Uncured products are considered a hazardous material and must be handled as such and disposed in accordance with local regulations.
