Product Overview
DESCRIPTION
ClimoPlate ™ is a New Zealand manufactured Alkyd / Bitumen co-polymer, solvent / water emulsion based paint developed primarily for New Zealand outdoor conditions.
ClimoPlate ™ is specifically but not exclusively formulated to act as a top coat over bitumen based sealers such as our GilsoFlex™ and FlexsoTar™ products. It is ideally suited for painting of exposed metal roofs, cement tile roofs and steel structures. It is compatible and suitable to be used on Decramastic and Butynol roofs.
ClimoPlate ™ can also be used on other substrates like timber etc.
This product selection is for a test pot.
Because of its disinfecting effect, it will retard the growth of moss or lichen.
Substrate surface preparation requirements are minimal.
Roof requires one coat only and One (1) Litre will cover approximately 4 to 8 Square Meters, depending on roof surface.
ClimoPlate ™ is intended primarily for surface application by brushing, rolling or airless spraying.
A re-coat might be required after 8 to 10 years.
