Description:

AES-100FR is a flexible two-part epoxy designed to protect a variety of surfaces including rubber, concrete, foam, plywood, metal and petroleum-based surfaces.  It is especially suited to applications where surface movement may defeat the protection of a rigid coating.

Application Areas:

AES-100 is excellent for waterproofing EPDM, TPO, PVC, built-up, single ply, polyurethane foam, concrete, and metal roofs.  The flexibility retained by AES-100 allows for surface movement caused by thermal shock to most structures.

Advantages & Benefits

• Provides a secure barrier to water penetration.
• Adheres even to damp surfaces without priming.
• Stays flexible through years of harsh service.
• Withstands attacks from most chemicals, traffic, and severe environments.
• Retains flexibility in sub zero conditions.
• Surface will not exceed 10ºF above ambient temperature
• Withstands ponding water.
• Rain will not destroy coating during application.
• Sustainable roofing system that saves expensive
  removal and disposal cost.
• High Albedo reduces heat and lowers energy cost.
• 100% adhesion of product to substrate
• 10 yr. extendable warranty available for roofs.

Preparation:

Surfaces must be cleaned free of grease, oil, films, dust, or any other contaminants.  Most roof surfaces should be pressure washed to remove any barrier films.  Metal must be free of mill scale, oils, rust, etc.  Hard-finished concrete should be etched to provide profile or "tooth" for optimal adhesion. These preparation procedures are general guidelines.  Consult AES technicians for further details or special preparation procedures.  Roofing specifications are also available for various substrates.  The preparation procedures above are general guidelines. Detailed preparation methods are available through SSPC at www.sspc.org or 412-281-2331 or NACE at www.nace.org or 281-228-6200.

Mixing:

The mixing of parts A & B is very important!  AES-100 has a mixing ratio of 4 parts "B" to 1 part "A".  Use a power mixer to thoroughly combine both parts.  Mix for at least 1 minute per gallon.  Allow idle activation time for at least 10 minutes.  Lacquer thinner should only be added after the activation process is complete. 

Application:

AES-100 can be applied by air-less spray equipment, brush, or roller at approximately 100-sq. ft. per gallon.  A two-coat application is recommended to help insure complete protection.  Surfaces subject to significant movement or other difficult conditions may require heavier applications and the use of Poly-lace.  All penetrations or transitions of surface materials should be Poly-laced.  Surface configuration, weather, or area surroundings may dictate application method.

Dry Film Application Rate:

To yield dry film of     Apply Sq. Ft/gallon

13 mils:                                    100 Sq. Ft.

6.5 mils:                                   200 Sq. Ft.

DO NOT apply product heavier than 16 wet mils per coat.  If more is needed, apply in multiple coats. Allow AES-100 to become tack-free before applying additional coats or approximately 6 hrs at 80ºF.

Thinning:

If thinning is necessary, thin no more than 1 quart of lacquer thinner per 5 gallons of epoxy.  Lacquer Thinner should only be added after the mixing process is complete. Thinning retards cure time and, increases possibility of bleed through.

General:

AES-100 should be applied in well-ventilated areas. Surfaces should be free of foreign matter.  DO NOT apply near open flame.

Clean Up:

Application equipment should be cleaned immediately with lacquer thinner.  Use Apple Cider Vinegar to clean hands and skin.  Do not allow coating to remain on tools!  Once it sets and is cured, it is difficult to remove.

Flammability:

Flammable during application.

Will not support combustion when cured.
