Rubber Paint FAQ

1. How do I prepare surfaces before applying Rubber Paint?

Surface preparation is crucial for optimal performance. For metal surfaces, remove all rust, grease, and loose particles using a wire brush or sandblasting. Clean with a degreaser and rinse thoroughly. For concrete, repair cracks and clean with a pressure washer. Always ensure the surface is completely dry before application. A primer may be required for certain surfaces - consult our technical data sheet for specific recommendations.

2. What is the best application method for Rubber Paint?

Rubber Paint can be applied using a brush, roller, or airless sprayer (recommended for large areas). For brush application, use a high-quality synthetic brush. When using a roller, select a 3/8" to 1/2" nap roller for smooth surfaces or a 3/4" nap for textured surfaces. If spraying, use a tip size between 0.017" and 0.021" at 1500-2500 PSI. Always apply at temperatures between 50°F and 90°F (10°C to 32°C) with humidity below 85%.

3. How long does Rubber Paint last after application?

Properly applied Rubber Paint typically provides 10-15 years of protection, depending on environmental conditions. In extreme climates with intense UV exposure or chemical contact, recoating may be needed after 7-10 years. Regular inspection is recommended - look for signs of wear, cracking, or color fading. The coating can be easily recoated without complete removal of the existing layer, making maintenance simple and cost-effective.

Benefits of Rubber Paint

• Superior Protection: Forms a seamless, waterproof membrane that protects against moisture, chemicals, and UV rays
• Excellent Flexibility: Moves with the substrate, preventing cracks from temperature changes or structural movement
• Energy Efficient: Reflective colors available to reduce heat absorption and lower cooling costs
• Environmentally Friendly: Low VOC formula compliant with environmental regulations
• Easy Application: Can be applied to damp surfaces (unlike many competitors) and dries quickly
• Cost Effective: Provides long-term protection at a fraction of replacement costs

Installation Guide

1. Clean and prepare the surface as described above
2. Apply primer if required (check technical specifications)
3. Stir Rubber Paint thoroughly before and during application
4. Apply first coat at 5-7 mils wet film thickness (WFT)
5. Allow 2-4 hours drying time between coats
6. Apply second coat at 5-7 mils WFT for total thickness of 10-14 mils
7. Allow 24 hours for full cure before exposing to service conditions

Safety Information

While Rubber Paint is water-based and low in VOCs, proper safety precautions should still be followed:

• Wear protective gloves and eye protection during application
• Ensure adequate ventilation in enclosed spaces
• Keep away from heat sources and open flames
• Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight
• Dispose of unused product according to local regulations

Rubber Paint vs. Traditional Coatings

For professionals seeking a reliable, long-lasting protective coating, Rubber Paint offers superior performance compared to conventional products. Its unique formulation combines the best qualities of rubber and paint, creating a durable yet flexible barrier that stands up to the toughest conditions while remaining easy to apply and maintain.
