PREMIUMCOAT SYSTEM METAL ROOFS Metal roofs exhibit most of their leaking problems at laps, seams, skylights, fasteners and other penetrations. The PREMIUMCOAT system is used extensively to repair and waterproof commercial, industrial, and historic standing-seam metal roofs. The PREMIUMCOAT system bonds with any metal surface, providing a permanent watertight solution to any metal roof leakage problem.

PREMIUMCOAT SYSTEM BUILT-UP / MODIFIED BUILT-UP ROOFING The greatest enemy for a built up roof is the sun. The sun s powerful infrared and ultraviolet rays cause heat aging of the built-up system resulting in the leaching of oils, causing the roof to prematurely dry out and crack. The PREMIUMCOAT system is used on both new and existing built-up and modified roofs providing a protective barrier between the substrate and the sun s damaging rays. 1 2 Built-up roof, before PREMIUMCOAT system. 3 4 Application o f FOUNDATIONCOAT and fabric over expansion joint and roof deck.

PLYWOOD AND INSULATION BOARD PREMIUMCOAT is a high-performance, sustainable system for plywood and insulation board. Its superior adhesion characteristics and its inherent ultraviolet and infrared resistance make it ideally suited for the harshest environments. DECKS Decks are most often roofs that you walk on. The PREMIUMCOAT system is ideal for waterproofing decks because of its ability to flash from deck to wall junctions, railings and post. The system is renewable by recoating every five years and if it is damaged it can easily be repaired. TRAFFICCOAT abrasion resistant coating can be applied over the system to provide a tough, easy-to-clean surface. During Above & below: PREMIUMCOAT system being installed over roof deck, parapet walls and transitions at lumber company. APPLICATION GUIDELINES Surface Preparation Power wash and clean all surfaces to be waterproofed. Above: PREMIUMCOAT system and TRAFFICCOAT providing a waterproof traffic surface at beach house. Priming Chalking surfaces should be primed with SureBond Primer. Rusty surfaces should be primed with StableRust Primer. Concrete surfaces should be primed with BarrierGuard. Black EPDM surfaces should be primed with CleanAct Primer. All other surfaces do not require priming.. Application Install cant strips at all internal corners. Apply a 6 or 12 wide strip of PremiumCoat FoundationCoat, Fabric, and FoundationCoat over cant strips, cracks and joints such as plywood and insulation board. Apply the FoundationCoat, Fabric and FoundationCoat all in one step to the area to be waterproofed making sure there are no wrinkles or air pockets. Overlap fabric by 4 inches. Apply the FinishCoat to the treated area in two coats. Coverage FoundationCoat = 200 square feet per 5 gal. Fabric 40 = 1000 square feet Finish Coat = 350 square feet per 5 gal. (Includes 2 coats) Questions? Call Hydro-Stop, Inc. or your Hydro-Stop Representative. above. Installation over plywood roof and decks at Dewees Island Nature Preserve (PREMIUMCOAT selected for its environmentally friendly formulation, sustainability and hurricane-proof uplift resistance). CONCRETE ROOFS The largest concern with waterproofing structural concrete is finding a system which will remain permanently bonded even in hurricane conditions. PREMIUMCOAT is a fluid applied, fully adhered, breathable system. It is excellent for waterproofing structural concrete, and its bonding ability to both substrates is many times greater than even the most stringent roofing standards. PREMIUMCOAT forms a monolithic system which will mold to any type of surface and is therefore an excellent means of extending the waterproofing membrane onto any curb, penetration, or parapet wall.

BARRIERGUARD SYSTEM BARRIERGUARD is designed for waterproofing all types of masonry surfaces such as foundation walls, concrete panels, retaining walls and moisture-retaining structures such as gutters, cisterns, and concrete shrubbery boxes. Mixed with water and Portland cement, and fully reinforced with BARRIERGUARD fabric, it forms a hard-wearing, flexible compound. It is also resistant to standing water and ideal for subterranean waterproofing. USES Abrasion-resistant layer for decks and walkways Waterproofing foundation walls Waterproofing basements Lining water-retaining structures Waterproofing shrubbery boxes Waterproofing shower floors ADVANTAGES & BENEFITS Protects masonry surfaces from water damage Will not peel off like stick-on adhesives Wear-resistant and hard to damage Resists ponding water Extremely U.V. resistant Resists acid rain and chemical pollutants to protect from chemical spills and fallout damage Meets V.O.C. emissions and regulations to eliminate facility downtime during installation Nontoxic formulation is safe to apply Easy application and cleanup No special training or equipment required to install 5-year extendable warranty means system never has to be torn off TECHNICAL DATA Storage conditions...40 F (4 C) to 95 F (35 C) Shelf life...12 months in unopened containers Potlife...20-30 minutes @ 77 F (25 C) Membrane thickness...60 mils Bond strength...> 550 psi (3.8 mpa) Tensile strength ASTM C-109-85...330 psi (2.3 mpa) Comprehensive strength ASTM C-109-88...5,690 psi (39.2 mpa) Flexual Strength ASTM 3348-86...1835 psi (12.7 mpa) Packaging...1 gallon (3.79 L) & 5 gallon (18.9 L) BarrierGuard system installed on CBU foundation, prior to installation of landscaping berm in Sea Island, Georgia. APPLICATION GUIDELINES Surface Preparation Remove any loose or flaking particles, scale, dirt, rust or scale. Masonry surfaces need to be dampened first to prevent moisture loss from slurry. Mixing Slurry is prepared by mixing (one-part BarrierGuard, one-part water, and three parts Portland cement). Add BarrierGuard and water to a clean 5- gallon pail and mix with a slow-speed mechanical mixer for about 1 minute. Slowly add the Portland cement until a totally homogenous and lump-free slurry is produced. Above 80 degrees it is recommended to add ice to cool down the slurry mix to prevent premature gelling. Application Apply BarrierGuard slurry to the dampened area and immediately imbed the BarrierGuard Fabric in the wet slurry. Work out any bubbles or creases with the brush. Fully saturate the Fabric from above with more slurry and allow to dry. Follow with a final coat of BarrierGuard slurry. BarrierGuard Fabric should lap by minimum of four inches. Coverage One gallon of BarrierGuard will make approximately four gallons of slurry. The slurry will cover approximately 50 square feet of full BarrierGuard System that is reinforced with fabric, or 250 square feet of single coat priming. Questions? Call Hydro-Stop, Inc. or your Hydro-Stop Representative. Before: BarrierGuard system installed inside large concrete planters prior to installation of palm trees.

FLEXCOATFLEXCOAT CrackBridging Elastomeric Coating Masonry, and in particular, stucco, is a major point of entry for water. This is especially true since masonry tends to crack. FLEXCOAT crackbridging elastomeric is carefully formulated to stay flexible to handle crack movement and provide a highquality water seal at the same time. FLEXCOAT keeps the water out while allowing you the option of hundreds of colors to match your decor. Above: Damaged stucco which has been repaired with FLEXCOAT Above: Waterproofing over structural concrete. Concrete repair and waterproofing of church.
