GacoRoof Silicone Roof Coating - 3.8 Litres

• Surface Preparation
  All roofing substrates must be clean, dry, and structurally sound. Remove debris, loose coatings, algae, and contaminants using GacoWash and high-pressure rinsing. For asbestos cement, encapsulate rather than disturb the substrate. Perform adhesion tests to determine if priming is necessary.
• Primer Application (If Required)
  Apply GacoPrime LVOC or E5320 Primer to aid adhesion on substrates like EPDM, PVC, GRP, oxidised metal, or asbestos cement. Ensure complete cure before proceeding.
• Detailing & Reinforcement
  Reinforce all seams, penetrations, fasteners, cracks, and joints with GacoPatch, SF4200 SeamSeal, or 66S Mesh embedded in S4200. These detailing components ensure watertight integrity over vulnerable areas.
• Main Coating Application
  Apply GacoFlex S4200 Silicone Roof Coating at a minimum of 2.25 gal per 100 ft² to achieve a 34 mil dry film thickness. Apply in a single or dual-pass method using roller, squeegee, or airless spray. For added traction, broadcast white granules into a second coat while wet.

• Flat Roofs: Consider the condition of the existing roof deck, ensuring water is not trapped underneath the existing waterproof covering. Check the condition of the structural roof deck to ensure it is free from rot and decay or structural weakness. Ensure all seams and joins from the existing waterproofing covering is fully bonded. Ensure the existing covering is clean and dry using GacoWash. Seal all seams and penetrations, ensuring a minimum overlap of 50-75mm using Gaco SF42 Seam Sealant. Where asphalt or EPDM is aged, use Gaco Bleedtrap coating to prevent staining and leaching through of oils. A primer should not be required but carry out an adhesion test first. Apply Gaco S4200 at a minimum rate of 0.5 litres per square metre. Allow between 3-12 hours to dry (depending on environmental conditions) before applying any further coats.

• Pitched/Sloped Roofs: Consider the condition of the existing roof deck, ensuring that it is not at the end of life. Clean the roof surface to be free from moss, dirt, grime and contaminants, using GacoWash as the cleaning agent. Pressure washing is recommended (consult HSE regulations for asbestos roofs). If using Gaco Roofing Foam, apply at minimum thickness of 15mm to seal all seams, joins and penetrations. If using Gaco SF42 Seam Sealant, use a brush or roller to seal all roof sheet seam, joins and penetrations, ensuring a minimum 50-75mm overlap on the seam. A primer is not required on most metal, cement-fibre or asbestos roof sheets but always conduct an adhesion test first. Apply Gaco S4200 at a minimum rate of 0.5 litres per square metre. Allow between 3-12 hours to dry (depending on environmental conditions) before applying any further coats.

• Several compatible options available. Please consult Duratite for advice on suitable primers.

The same Gaco S4200 Silicone Roof Coating is used as the top coat. For ease of installation, consider using different colours for the base coat and top-coat. On flat roofs containing asphalt or EPDM, we recommend using a white coating to assist with solar reflectance, prolonging the protection of the roof deck whilst reducing solar gain.

• VOC Compliant with EC & UK Regulations

Refer to the product-specific Product Health & Safety Data Sheet for complete guidance on handling, PPE requirements, and storage.

• Application temperature must exceed 5°C and be 3°C above dew point.
• Avoid moisture during drying to enable the coating to fully cure and dry.
• High humidity and cold temperatures may prolong drying times.
• Leave at least 4 hours before applying any further coats.
• Depending on environment conditions, leave up to 24 hours for the coating to fully dry and cure.
