WC-5 VINYL ACRYLIC WEATHER BARRIER MASTIC | |
|
WC-5 is a heavy-bodied, water based, vinyl-acrylic mastic for use over all types of insulation systems, both indoors and outdoors. It can also be applied as a general purpose elastomeric protective coating over masonry surfaces and a variety of other substrates. NOTE: Special care should be taken when applying WC-5 the foil facing on insulation as it will not always bond tightly, depending on the type of foil. Test applications are recommended. WC-5 is formulated for easy application by brush, but can also be applied by trowel, or spray (application method should be specified when ordering). After drying, it becomes a tough, flexible, color retentive coating which is resistant to weather, alkalis, oil, grease, moisture, and mechanical damage. Its normal recommended dry thickness for full-scale outdoor protection is 1/16" (63 mils). A minimum dry film thickness of 40 mils is recommended. WC-5 should not be applied where it will be subjected to continual standing water. WC-5 must be protected from freezing during storage, and, after application, from precipitation, freezing, and foot traffic until thoroughly cured. WC-5 is a breathing-type mastic which allows water vapor to pass through it. This is a benefit because residual water trapped underneath the coating is allowed to escape in the form of water vapor. WC-5 should not be used over a low temperature system unless a vapor barrier is present.
