For those who may be unfamiliar with the Equinox\u00ae product, it is an elastomeric, acrylic, monolithic roof coating in a bright white finish. <\/p>\n Equinox\u00ae is designed to waterproof a range of substrates, including metal, spray polyurethane foam, membrane roofs and Conklin\u2019s Fabric Reinforced System.<\/p>\n Applied at 1.6 gallons per 100 square feet, in the proper temperature range Equinox\u00ae has a dry time of 2-4 hours and dries to a 13.5 mils depth per coat, according to Conklin\u2019s product spec sheet.<\/p>\n Some of the benefits of the Equinox\u00ae system are:<\/p>\n Conklin recommends the following steps to ensure the best possible Equinox\u00ae application outcome.<\/p>\n Preparation – <\/strong>Prep the existing roofing system to specification and guidelines provided. This is not a step to overlook or cut corners on. Like the building itself, the Equinox\u00ae system must be built on a well prepared foundation.<\/p>\n Staging \u2013 <\/strong>Though the new Equinox\u00ae formulation is less temperature sensitive that other acrylics, weather conditions do still play a role. Conklin\u2019s Equinox\u00ae sales sheet notes that \u201cExcessive air flow, low humidity situations, and surface temperatures above 60\u00b0 F increase the risk of flash drying, which will cause shadowing and telegraphed spray patterns on the roof surface effecting overall aesthetics\u201d. It is imperative you stage your project to allow for completion during optimal weather conditions.<\/p>\n Verification & Documentation \u2013 <\/strong>To ensure an excellent application, you must verify appropriate weather conditions with a cell phone application, as well as a temperature gun. This information may be crucial in your warranty application.<\/p>\n Application \u2013 <\/strong>Your base coat and top-coat should both be applied only when conditions are right. In this case, that is an ambient air temperature between 36\u00b0F and 60\u00b0F, relative humidity greater than 20% and air flow adequate to prevent flash drying and allow for wet edge maintenance.<\/p>\n Storage \u2013 <\/strong>Store your remaining Equinox at temperatures less than 80\u00b0F. Do not let it freeze and it will remain fully usable for your next happy customer within 6 months of manufacturing date.<\/p>\n To stay informed and current on all forms of relevant information, why not join Choice Roof Contractors Group?
