Precote
Description
TOPCOAT® Precote is a clear, solvent-based thermoplastic liquid to
be applied as the primer/sealer coat on any areas of corrugated asbestos (Transite)
panels. Precote is extremely flexible and durable. Like all solvent-based products,
the surface must be completely free of moisture before application.
Uses
Precote is a required step for treatment of corrugated asbestos panels providing
optimum adhesion of TOPCOAT® Elastomeric Roofing Membrane. After
application of Precote, the surface will be slightly tacky and will provide an excellent
base for the application of TOPCOAT®. Do not apply at temperatures
below 42°F. Substrate temperatures must be below 120°F when applying product.
Advantages
- Excellent primer and sealer for all areas of Transite panels
- Used to bind loose and friable surfaces
- Will leave the roof surface “tacky” and ready to provide a solid substrate for adhesion
of TOPCOAT® Elastomeric Roofing Membrane

Note: Repair leaks promptly to avoid adverse effects, including
mold growth
