IMPORTANT NOTES (Details and information
subject to change):
When applying coatings over an existing roof under warranty, the building
owner should check with existing roofing system manufacturer, as this coating
application may void warranty. In all cases, the existing roofing system
must be in sound condition. Mule-Hide is NOT responsible for any defects
in the existing roofing system. The information herein should not be considered
all-inclusive and should always be accompanied by good application practices.
The applicator has sole responsibility for the quality of application of
the coating system. Mule-Hide requires proper surface preparation of the
existing roofing system. To repair blisters, splits, and other surface
defects, Mule-Hide recommends that they be repaired in accordance with
the published NRCA Repair Manual for Low-Slope Roofing Systems guidelines
prior to application of Mule-Hide Elasomeric Coatings.
Cool temperatures and high humidity retard curing. Do not apply Elastomeric
Acrylic Coatings if weather conditions will not permit complete cure. Mule-Hide
Coatings are NOT intended for use over graveled surfaces (Spudded Roofs
are also NOT acceptable.) Refer to Mule-Hide Coatings Specification Manual
for details prior to application.
Mule-Hide recommends ADHESION TESTS PRIOR TO COATING to ensure adhesion
and compatibility between the coating and the substrate. Mule-Hide also
RECOMMENDS a two (2)-coat application. If finished coverage rates exceed
two (2) gallons per square, 2 coats are REQUIRED. Product blisters may
occur if coatings are applied too thick in high temperatures.
Energy savings from installation of an ENERGY STAR® Roof Product are
climate specific and may vary significantly from building to building.
The greatest savings will occur in buildings located in hot and sunny climates
that have a high roof surface to building volume ration, and lower levels
of attic insulation. For more information about the energy savings you
can get from installing an ENERGY STAR® Roof Product on your building
contact your roof product manufacturer, roofing contractor, or call 1-888-STAR-YES
(1-888-782-7937)
The information herein is based upon data and knowledge considered to be
true and accurate and is provided for the applicator's consideration, investigation
and verification. However, Mule-Hide products are made without knowledge
of your particular roof and/or coatings project and such an application
may not be fit for your particular purpose. MULE-HIDE DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES,
