Dicor Cleaner/Activator Part 1 For EPDM Rubber Roofing

Extend the life of your rubber roof! Two-part, commercial grade system combines a primer/cleaner necessary for proper roof preparation with an acrylic coating to provide an excellent protective barrier for extending the life of the EPDM rubber membrane. This two-part system (primer/cleaner & acrylic coating) saves over 25% in labor compared to similar systems. Quick drying time. Endorsed by Carlisle Syntec Systems. Breakthrough product dramatically increases the bond of Sure-Seal White Acrylic Coating to new or weathered rubber roof surfaces. This low viscosity liquid chemically alters the rubber surface to which it is applied, creating a “lock and key” effect with the acrylic coating.

Dicor’s EPDM Roof Cleaner/Activator cleans and prepares EPDM roofing for maximum adhesion of Dicor’s EPDM Roof Acrylic Coating. Simply spray on and rinse off thoroughly. Coverage rate is 125 sq. ft. per quart.

The EPDM Roof Cleaner/Activator is the first part of a two-part, commercial grade system that combines the cleaner/activator with our acrylic coating. The cleaner/ activator prepares the roof while the acrylic coating provides an excellent, long-lasting protective barrier. The two together form a “lock and key” effect to bond the coating tight to the old roofing.

RECOMMENDED UNIT PREPARATION:
EPDM CLEANER/ACTIVATOR is designed for use on rubber roofing surface only and may damage other exterior parts of RV. It is highly recommended that you secure plastic sheeting over entire sidewalls as well as front and rear endcaps to protect them from possible damage. If EPDM CLEANER/ACTIVATOR contacts any surface other than roof, it should be rinsed immediately.

SURFACE PREPARATION:
Remove heavy deposits of dirt, leaves, pine needles and other debris using a broom or air blower. Any rocks, branches, or other large objects should also be removed. EPDM CLEANER/ACTIVATOR can be applied directly over EPDM surfaces containing residual amounts of dirt, dust and other contamination.

APPLICATION:
EPDM CLEANER/ACTIVATOR is a ready-to-use material. It can be applied using a Hudson-type agricultural sprayer. Safety glasses with side shields and latex gloves are recommended when transferring EPDM CLEANER/ ACTIVATOR from the shipping container to the sprayer. Spray a fine mist that leaves roof damp. Adjust spray for weather conditions if necessary. If EPDM CLEANER/ACTIVATOR is running off roof, you have used too much. If using a Hudson sprayer, adjust the spray nozzle to achieve a uniform spray pattern with a 3 to 4 foot arc. Application rate is 125 sq. ft. per quart over new or existing surfaces. Do not apply below 40°F (4°C).

Allow EPDM CLEANER/ACTIVATOR to stand a minimum of 5 minutes to wet out and react with the EPDM surface. RINSE WITH CLEAN WATER. For best results, use a minimum 2,000 psi pressure washer. Using a 15” spray pattern, begin the power rinse at the lowest point on the roof and work upwards, keeping the pressure washer tip within 12″ of the EPDM surface. Once the highest point on the roof is reached, work down again with a final rinse to remove any excess dirt or debris from the roof. If power washer is unavailable, use medium bristle brush, working smaller area at a time, rinsing thoroughly to be sure all cleaner/activator has been removed.

After cleaning, the roof should be “white” in color, which is an indication that the surface has been chemically altered.

ALLOW SURFACES TO DRY THOROUGHLY PRIOR TO APPLICATION OF THE ACRYLIC COATING.
Clean equipment with water and biodegradable detergent. Purge the water from the pump.

DANGER: CAUSES SEVERE IRRITATION OF THE EYES, CAUSES GASTROINTESTINAL IRRITATION, NAUSEA, VOMITING AND DIARRHEA, BURNS MOST SKIN.
