SMARTCOAT™ 450 High Solids Silicone Coating is a 100 percent silicone-based, solvent-free, single-part roof coating. SmartFlash 450 creates a membrane that is vapor permeable, adaptive to temperature extremes, UV resistant, watertight, and weatherproof. This product exhibits outstanding ponded water resistance for direct bond over architectural surfaces such as low-sloped or flat roofing systems, vertical walls, masonry, granulated BUR/Mod-Bit, granulated APP, concrete, metal, single-ply membranes, and spray polyurethane foam (SPF) systems. This product may be used to re-coat existing silicone roof coatings and existing acrylic roof coatings. Refer to published SMARTCOAT specifications for installation guidelines. SMARTCOAT 450 meets or exceeds ASTM D 7281.

Installation

Coverage: 1.5 – 2.5 gallons per 100 square feet, specification and warranty duration dependent.

Precautions: SMARTCOAT 450 High Solids Silicone Coating can be applied over properly prepared surfaces that exhibit ponded water, however, the National Roofing Contractors Association (NRCA) considers ponding water an undesirable nonstandard roofing practice and recommends that all roof systems be designed and built to ensure positive drainage. (See the NRCA Roofing and Waterproofing Manual). This product may be used to re-coat existing silicone roof coatings and existing acrylic roof coatings. 

1. Clean roof surface thoroughly with SMARTCOAT 100 Roof Wash. Surface must be free of contamination that may inhibit adhesion. Surface must be clean and dry, free of moisture both on and beneath the surface before applying PRIMER, MASTIC (if applicable), or COATING.

2. If adhesion test indicates primer is required, prime surface with SMARTCOAT 210 Universal Primer; apply SMARTCOAT 200 Asphalt Bleed Blocker on bituminous surfaces to prevent staining.

3. Seal/repair roof as needed with SMARTCOAT 350/370.

4. Mechanically mix COATING before using. Do not thin product with solvent or other solutions. Apply only at temperatures between 40ºF and 110ºF and no threat of rain during application window or within 1 hour after application has ended.

5. Apply with heavy-duty roller or suitable spray equipment at minimum stated coverage rate or in accordance with SMARTCOAT specification. No more than 2.5 gallons per 100 square feet should be applied in a single-pass or application. Dry-to-touch in 2-8 hours; completely cured and walkable surface in approximately 72 hours.

6. Clean tools with mineral spirits or paint thinner, if coating has dried.  Refer to equipment manufacturers’ direction for cleanup of spray equipment.  SMARTCOAT 450 cures by reacting with moisture and will damage spray guns, pump equipment and/or hoses if left for prolonged periods.
