Mixing of Butyl Liquid Rubber
You will need an electric drill and a 3/8 inch nap roller for manual application. Mix for approximately 3 minutes. Chalk off your roof into 20X10 ft areas. When you are done “filling-ing” that area you should be done with your 4 gallon pail.
Spraying
Butyl Liquid Rubber can be applied by brush, spray or roller. Best results can be obtained with airless spray equipment. See Inland Application Bulletins for additional information. Recommended Spray Equipment = Airless
Tip size.......................................... 025”
Fluid Pressure (PSI)..................... 3000
Fluid hose size.............................. 3/8" - 1/2"
Physical Makeup
Butyl Liquid Rubber is very similar to traditional EPDM makeup. The most crucial qualities include:
- A high resistance to water, ozone and ultraviolet stability, and overall fantastic anti-aging characteristics for many years to come
- Has a built-in Mildewcide to deter mold and mildew growth
- Our White is an Energy Star qualified product. A temperature tolerance that ranges from -40° to 250° F.
- It is both alkali and acid resistant.
- Withstands standing water 354 days a year
What is the Spread Rate?
The ideal thickness is 20 mil. of dry film, which can be spread to 42 square feet per gallon onto a smooth area. When assuming a 45 square foot gallon, the specs are:
- 8 pounds per mixed gallon
- 680 psi tensile
- 62° F brittle point
- 180-200% elongation
What is the Cure Rate?
The quickness of curing depends wholly on temperature and oxygen availability. Oxygen is required in order to activate the catalyst. Keep in mind that temperatures vary drastically in some regions, and it may take several weeks for a full cure to take place if Butyl Liquid Rubber is applied during a cool season. However, even in a non-cured state, it will withstand water and rainfall.
