Uses: concrete, corrugated iron, tiled and felted roofs. Ideal for repairing leaks due to porosity in asbestos or splits, cracks, tears, holes etc. in most roofing materials.

Bridges small holes, cracks and splits, even in pouring rain

Easy brush-on application

Avoids costly re-roofing

Heavy duty

Relective surface

Watco Roofite Solar Relective waterproofs and seals and is suitable for many exterior surfaces. It can also be used as an emergency leak repair, even in pouring rain.

Aluminium flakes give the material reflective properties, that reduces the solar heat gain of the roof.

Also avaliable is the non-reflecting Watco Roofite.

Coverage approx. 10m² per 10kg.

Surface Preparation
Surfaces should preferably be as dry as possible. Emergency patch repairs can however be successfully completed to surfaces with running water. Remove any loose material and dirt. Very porous, dry surfaces should be primed with Watco Roofite Solar Reflective diluted with 25% white spirit. A wire brush should be used to remove all traces of moss etc. A fungicide may be required for heavily contaminated surfaces. Specialist advice must be sought when dealing with old asbestos/cement roofs.

Application
The coating should be applied generously by brush at the rate of 1m² per kilo. If a second coat is required it should be applied at right angles to the first coat. Do not brush out to a thin film. Cracks, splits, holes and leaks around roof sheet overlaps should be treated in the following manner.

Apply a generous coat of Watco Roofite Solar Reflective and immediately bed in a strip of Watco Scrim cut to a suitable size. Apply a further coat of Watco Roofite Solar Reflective over the scrim using a stippling action and leave to cure. Deep pits and cracks in flat concrete roofs etc can be filled with a mortar consisting of Watco Roofite Solar Reflective mixed with Roofite Additive. The surface should be primed first with Watco Roofite Solar Reflective before trowelling in the Watco Roofite Solar Reflective and additive mix.

In exceptional temperature conditions advice should be obtained from Watco’s Technical Department.
