ADHESIVES & PRIMERS

Built up roof being power-washed after application of #115 Detergent Roof Primer.  The oxidized oils and sulfur compounds on the roof surface have been dissolved by the #115 and can be easily washed off the roof.  Water alone, even at great pressure, will not remove these sticky contaminants from the surface.  Application of coatings over an unprepared surface will result in poor adhesion and discoloration as the contamination is absorbed by the new coating and migrates to its surface. #115 is perhaps the most important roofing product we offer.
