Diathon^® QS Roof Coating is an advanced acrylic elastomer coating that provides durability, reflectivity (white only) and protection against the damaging effects of weather elements and UV rays. The quick set formulation provides a more rapid skin-over time than GAF Diathon^® Roof Coating, which helps to prevent wash-off from a light rain or dew in 30 to 60 minutes depending on ambient temperature and humidity.

Approved Substrates: New and existing Spray Polyurethane Foam (SPF).

Packaging Sizes:
5 gallon (19 liter) pail
55 gallon (208 liter) drum

Standard Colors: White and Light Gray

APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS

Substrate Preparation: Roof must have positive drainage, and be clean and dry with no trapped moisture. Repair damaged SPF, flashings, and penetrations. Conduct test patches to verify adhesion of coating prior to start of work.

Mixing: Mix uniformly for a minimum of 3 minutes prior to use. Do NOT attempt to thin or self-tint.

Application: Apply by brush, roller, or airless sprayer evenly at the rate of 2 gallons per 100 ft². Do NOT apply more than 1.5 gallons per 100 ft² (6.1 L per 10 m²) in a single coat. Apply additional coats perpendicular to the previous coat once it is dry enough to walk on. Total coverage is dependent on the substrate. See Limited Warranty on GAF Roof Coatings for complete coverage and restrictions.
