Radiant Barrier Roof Coating

INTRODUCTION and FEATURES

LO/MIT-I is widely used as a reflective radiant barrier roof coating by some of America’s largest roofing companies because of the following unique qualities:

INSTALLATION GUIDELINES

LO/MIT-I radiant barrier paint is ideally suited for roof coating applications since its solvent system allows for rapid, tack free setup and hardening and it is part of the Energy Star Cool Roof Program. Minimum roof surface temperature should be 75°F (24°C), and the applied coating should be allowed to dry, moisture free, for at least 24 hours. The roof surface should be be clean and free of dust and talc and absolutely dry before application. Light pressure washing, with detergent if the roof is extremely dirty, and water rinse (if detergent is used) provides excellent surface preparation. Rusted areas on metal roofs should be mechanically abraded and primed with a suitable primer before application of LO/MIT-I. Built up and tar roofs should be allowed to age for a minimum of six months before the application of LO/MIT-I radiant barrier roof coating. Ballasted roofs should be pre-coated with rock lock mastic to prevent turnover of the ballast and extend the coverage rate of LO/MIT-I.

Coverage rate on smooth surfaced roofs is 400 square feet/gallon when sprayed, 300 square feet/gallon when rolled, and 200-250 square feet/gallon when sprayed on ballasted roofs.

LO/MIT-I is a thin coating, and may be abraded off the roof surface in areas of high foot traffic. Roof pads should be used on service walkways to roof top equipment to lessen abrasion.

LO/MIT-II is not suggested for exterior use.

LO/MIT-I Roof Coating

 

 

LO/MIT-I being spray applied to the ballasted roof of the National Weather Service Building in   Daytona, Florida. LO/MIT-I is an excellent coating for ballasted roofs, but coverage is lower than smooth surface roofs. Ballast should be held in place with rock lock mastic before application of LO/MIT.
