Application

  • Suitable for profiled metal and asbestos style roofs.
  • Can be applied in wet conditions.

Description

Giromax® Roofcoat is an industrial roof coating solution, providing an effective, long-term protective roof coating solution that can be applied in wet conditions. On metal roofs the system treats cut edge corrosion fixings & ad hoc corrosion before the top coat system reinstates coatings that are failing due to age, UV exposure and weather conditions on profiled steel sheet roofs. On asbestos style sheets, the fully breathable coating allows for total roof encapsulation.


Features and benefits:

  • Fully moisture tolerant.
  • Uses laminar flake technology.
  • New generation polyurethane hybrid solution, with no VOC emissions.
  • Excellent elastic and flexibility properties to withstand normal surface movement
  • It can be applied in wet conditions.
  • Cut edge treatment included.
  • Can be sprayed directly from the tin.
  • Proven long life, being unaffected by UV, weather and temperature extremes.
  • New generation polyurethane hybrid solution.
  • Resilient to bird damage.
  • Resistant to dirt pick-up.
  • BBA approved.
  • Up to 25 year system guarantee.


System components:

Giromax® Sealant

  • A one-part, moisture tolerant sealant, supplied in 310 ml tubes.

Giromax® Basecoat

  • A two-part, moisture tolerant epoxy coating supplied in 1 Ltr and 2.5 Ltr kits of Part A (Base) and Part B (Activator) designed to be wholly (not part) mixed before use.
