Description
R-374 Protective Coating is a water-based acrylic resin coating which has been specially formulated for application to elastomeric insulation surfaces. R-374 can also be applied to polyolefin insulation surfaces in low traffic areas. This white coating provides a fast-drying, high gloss protective finish for both indoor and outdoor installations. R-374 Protective Coating is a flexible coating which offers excellent resistance to the harmful effects from the ultraviolet rays of the sun. It is supplied in gallon containers, 4 containers to a case.
Applications
R-374 Protective Coating can be applied with brush, roller, or spray. For best appearance, two coats are recommended. It should be stirred thoroughly and applied to a clean, dry surface which is free of dirt, oil, or other contaminants. If the surface needs cleaning, use a fast-drying non-residue cleaner such as denatured alcohol. The coating should be applied above 50°F and allowed to dry for 4 hours between coats, or the adhesion may be adversely affected.
See Technical Bulletin TA1 for equipment recommendations.
Do not add water to the product; thinning with water will adversely affect the coating. Use warm soapy water for clean up.
INDOOR APPLICATION
R-374 Protective Coating offers a tough, cleanable surface for indoor applications. The decorative coating can be tinted with common pigment pastes used for tinting latex paint. (Pigments should be added at the rate of less than 4.3 oz./gal.). The coating is free of any solvent odors.
OUTDOOR APPLICATIONS
R-374 Protective Coating offers protection from the harmful effects of UV rays when applied to insulation outdoors. It should not be confused as a waterproof mastic, and should not be used in areas where water ponding could occur.
Caution: Use with ventilation; do not take internally. If swallowed, do not induce vomiting-call physician immediately. Avoid contact with eyes. In case of eye contact, flush with large amounts of water and call physician. Close container after use. Keep out of reach of children.
