C. Finished Foam Surface application requirements and conditions 1. The preferred surface texture of the foam shall be smooth, 2. "Orange peel" to "verge of popcorn" texture is acceptable, but the contractor must

know that this shall require 20% to 60% additional coating respectively and at no additional cost to the Owner,

3. "Popcorn" or "tree bark" finish is not acceptable, 4. All areas that do not meet the finish requirements shall be ground smooth or

completely removed and replaced to meet the acceptable surface textures, and the Owner’s decision shall be final as to acceptability.

D. Foam Thickness 1. Unless otherwise noted or required, the foam shall be applied in no less than 1/2"

layers. 2. Basic thickness of foam for each roof project shall be stated prior to the project

quote. 3. Minimum thickness of foam for any roof project shall be 1 inch. 4. The minimum thickness in any given area must be applied the same day. 5. Foam application shall have a tolerance of 0" to +1/4" for the chosen thickness.

Note: The minimum thickness does not limit the average thickness of the foam application applied in one day when taper must be applied over the entire roof to obtain the proper slope to drains.

E. Foam application requirements and conditions 1. Urethane foam should be coated with base coat the same day the foam is sprayed, 2. If foam is not coated within 48 hours, surface shall be primed using the coating

manufacturer recommended primer prior to applying base coating, and 3. Under no circumstance shall “burnt” (orange color) foam be coated prior to surface

preparation(priming).

3.2 POLYUREA BASE COAT APPLICATION

A. The Polyurea base coating shall be applied on the same day as the polyurethane foam application, after the polyurethane foam has been allowed to cure a minimum of one hour. Apply the base coat in a uniform application in two coats to achieve a finished dry film thickness (DFT) of approximately 50 dry mils. The base coat shall not be subjected to foot traffic or otherwise disturbed until it is tack-free or cured. After it has cured, inspect the coating for pinholes, cracks, thin areas or other defects. All defects observed shall be repaired. The base coat and any sealant must be cured clean and free of all moisture prior to application of topcoat.

3.2 SILICONE TOP COAT APPLICATION

A. 20-Year Warranty System (30 dry mills total): Installer to provide installation schedule for product used, and the dry mil thickness at the end of each coat. Two vendors, Neogard and Gaco are used as examples but any vendor providing an “or equal” can be substituted. 1. Apply the silicone topcoat within 12-24 hours of the base coat application. The

subsequent applications shall be made at right angles to the base coat application. Surface texture and conditions may require additional quantities of silicone coating to insure proper thickness.

2. Apply the topcoat in a uniform application to achieve a minimum total finished dry film thickness (DFT) of 30 mils. It is the applicator’s responsibility to ensure the minimum total dry film thickness specified is achieved throughout the entire roof area regardless of the quantity of silicone coating required.

3. The Roof Coating shall be applied a minimum of 2 inches beyond all the terminated

edges of the polyurethane foam. These terminations should be masked to provide a straight edge, neat, finished appearance.

4. Allow the topcoat to cure and inspect the finished coating surface for pinholes,

cracks, thin areas, or other defects. Repair any defects observed with silicone sealant and/or additional silicone coating material.

5. Granular Coat: Apply mineral granules over wet topcoat using pressure equipment at

a rate of 30-40 pounds per 100 square feet of roof area. Remove excess granules after topcoat has cured. Bare spots in the granulated surface shall be filled in by applying additional coating and granules.

3.3 WEATHER CONDITIONS A. Foam nor coating shall be applied to exterior surfaces during a period of rain or

imminently expected rain. B. Coatings nor foam shall be applied until exterior surfaces are thoroughly dry, and C. Foaming operations should cease when the ambient outside temperature is within five

(5) degrees of dew point.

3.4 CLEANING

A. Daily, all debris and refuse shall be removed from job-site and disposed of properly.

3.5 PRE-WARRANTY INSPECTION AND TESTING

A. Upon the declaration by the contractor that the roof has been completed, an inspection shall be undertaken by the architect generating a “punch-list.”

B. The Contractor shall correct any and all deficiencies and/or damages found by the inspection after which a second joint inspection will be undertaken.

C. The owner’s representative has the option of taking core samples to verify

compliance with the standard. Cut out sections shell be immediately repaired by the applicator at its expense

D. No traffic shall be permitted on the completed surface for a minimum of three (3) days.
