User Manual

DESCRIPTION AND USES

Rust-Oleum® 790 Synthetic Silicone Roof Coating is a non- fibered, semi-gloss, water-based acrylic roof coating which is specially formulated with a fluoro- polymer resin. The  790 coating is VOC compliant as a roof coating and is asbestos free. 790 Coating is used as a semi-gloss finish coat over the water- based acrylic roof and wall coatings and other approved coatings and substrates as recommended by Rust-Oleum, such as granule surfaced modified bitumen membranes. 790 coating provides long-term color-fast performance under constant solar exposure, such as those conditions found on roofs and exterior building walls. 790 coating also offers superior resistance to dirt pickup.
790 coating has been tested for reflective properties according to the standards of the Cool Roof Rating Council (CRRC) and is listed in the CRRC Rated Products Directory.
For use on metal roofs, concrete, modified bitumen, built-up, and weathered single-ply roofing.

PRODUCT APPLICATION

SURFACE PREPARATION
All surfaces must be clean and free from dirt, grease, oil, loose granule, loose paint, rust, excess chalk, and other foreign matter, which could prevent proper adhesion. This is best accomplished using a high-pressure wash of at least 2,000 psi. A surface cleaner shall be used to remove all grease or oily deposits. Remove all dirt, dust, and other loose debris from the roof. The area to be coated must be a clean, sound, and dry surface.
WARNING! If you scrape, sand, or remove old paint from any surface, you may release lead paint dust. LEAD IS TOXIC. EXPOSURE TO LEAD DUST CAN CAUSE SERIOUS ILLNESS, SUCH AS BRAIN DAMAGE; ESPECIALLY IN CHILDREN. PREGNANT WOMEN SHOULD ALSO AVOID EXPOSURE. Wear a NIOSH-approved respirator to control lead exposure. Clean up carefully with a HEPA vacuum and a wet mop. Before you start, find out how to protect yourself and your family by contacting the National Lead Information Hotline at 1-800-424-LEAD or log on to www.epa.gov/lead.

APPLICATION
An adhesion test may be required. Consult with your Rust-Oleum representative.
Mechanical mixing is recommended. Ensure the product is consistent in appearance and viscosity. Avoid entraining air when mixing. Install product using one of the approved application methods evenly at the recommended coverage rate. Use wet mil gauges to monitor coverage rates throughout the application.
Two coats are recommended. Applying the second coat after the first coat will support foot traffic without tracking. Avoid foot traffic on the final coat for 24 hours. For best results, apply the second coat in a direction that is perpendicular to the first coat. For spray application, take necessary precautions to avoid overspray. 790 can be sprayed, rolled, or brush applied. If rolling, use medium nap polyester. If brushing, use bristle, nylon/polyester, or nylon. See below for spray equipment recommendations.

SPRAY EQUIPMENT RECOMMENDATION
Airless Spray: Pneumatic, hydraulic, or electric pump with a minimum 2,000 psi material output pressure. Reversible spray tip with a 0.017’’ to 0.025’’ orifice and a 40° to 60° spray fan. Material spray lines must be properly rated for the maximum working pressure of the pump being used.

DRY & RECOAT TIMES
Dry and recoat times are based on 77°F (25°C) and 50% relative humidity. Dry times increase at cooler temperatures.
Dries to the touch in 6 hours; allow minimum 24 hours recoat. Environmental or site-specific conditions may require variations in cure times.

COVERAGE
Apply two coats at 0.75 gal./100 square feet (1.6 m 2/L) (12 wet mils) per coat for a total application rate of 1.5 gal./100 square feet (3.2 m 2/L).

CLEAN-UP
Soap and water. Wipe up splatters before they dry. Follow the equipment manufacturer’s directions to clean spray equipment.

LIMITATIONS
Surfaces must be clean and free of dirt, dust, and other contaminants. Not intended for use in ponded areas. Do not apply unless temperatures are at least 45°F (7°C) and rising.  Do not apply if temperatures are expected to drop below 45°F (7°C) within 48 hours of application. Do not apply to wet surfaces. Do not apply unless the ambient and surface temperatures are at least 5°F (-15°C) above the dew point. Do not apply when freezing temperatures are expected within 48 hours after application. Do not apply if rain is expected within 12 hours. If temperatures drop below 60°F (15°C), do not apply if rain is expected within 24 hours.
Store container at temperatures above 32°F (0°C). Do not allow the container to freeze. Store container indoors in a heated area. Do not apply over hot applied asphalt or coal tar pitch flood or glaze coats.
