Description

DESCRIPTION: BOYSEN^® Roofgard™ is a gloss, acrylic, water-based roof paint designed to protect and adhere to galvanized surfaces. It gives a durable and flexible film and has fast drying time and good gloss retention.

PRINCIPAL USES: For galvanized iron surfaces, pre-painted galvanized sheets, and unglazed roof tiles.

FEATURES:
Excellent Adhesion
It provides excellent adhesion on properly prepared roofing materials such as galvanized and concrete roof tiles. Its thermoplastic film remains flexible over time without cracking and peeling.

Good Corrosion Resistance
It inhibits flash rusting on metal and provides good corrosion resistance with its specially formulated acrylic binder and pigment combination.

Easy Water Clean-Up
No need for thinners and solvent reducers. Tools, painting equipment, spills, and paint drips can be cleaned by water and soap solution while still wet.

Environmentally Sound
It is low in odor, non-flammable, and does not use hazardous solvents. It also does not contain lead or mercury.

Outstanding Durability
It provides excellent UV resistance and good gloss retention. The tightly adhering film retains its original color better than its solvent-based counterpart and offers good dirt pick-up resistance.

SURFACE PREPARATION:
Wipe the surface with a rag soaked in paint thinner to remove grease, oil, wax and other foreign matter. For new galvanized surfaces, etch the surface by applying 10% BOYSEN^® Metal Etching Solution B-71 (Dilute 1 part of B-71 to 9 parts water). Rinse with water and dry immediately.

Unpainted galvanized surfaces that have been exposed for 6 months or more need not be etched.

For recoating pre-painted galvanized surfaces in good condition, sand lightly then wipe the surface with a clean rag before applying paint. Remove all loose paint film to sound surface. Spot prime bare substrate.

For corroded galvanized surfaces, remove rust by wire brushing and use BOYSEN^® Metal Etching Solution B- 71. Let it stay for 10 – 15 minutes. Be sure to remove all remaining residue. Immediately prime after drying.

For unglazed roof tiles, clean surfaces to be painted to remove dirt, dust, grease, oil, and other contaminants.
