Product Overview
DESCRIPTION
GilsoFlex ™ is a New Zealand manufactured dense black Bituminous/Gilsonite co-polymer, solvent / water emulsion based roof sealant and paint developed primarily for New Zealand outdoor conditions.
GilsoFlex ™ is ideally suited for sealing and painting of exposed metal roofs, cement tile roofs and steel structures. It is compatible and suitable to be used on Decramastic and Bitumen roofs.
GilsoFlex ™ can also be used to seal and water proof timber, ply wood, brick and block work, under carpet concrete floors, Vehicle undercarriage protection etc.
Gilsoflex roof sealant paint, the roof sealer NZ loves.
Because of its disinfecting effect, it will retard the growth of moss or lichen.
Substrate surface preparation requirements are minimal as GilsoFlex ™ can be painted straight over minor surface rust. Gilsoflex Roof sealant paint is #1!
Roof requires one coat only and One (1) Litre will cover approximately 3 to 6 Square Meters, depending on roof surface.
- 4ltr will cover approximately 12 to 24 Square Meters
- 10ltr will cover approximately 30 to 60 Square Meters
- 20ltr will cover approximately 60 to 120 Square Meters
- 200ltr will cover approximately 600 to 1200 Square Meters
GilsoFlex ™ is intended primarily for surface application by brushing or airless spraying. GilsoFlex is intended as a primer / sealer coat and can be painted over with an Acrylic or oil based top coat like our ClimoPlate.
A re-coat might be required after 6 to 8 years.
The colour is a deep mat black when fully cured. It can be painted over only one fully cured, to a colour of your choice.
We recommend our ClimoPlate as a TopCoat over GilsoFlex.
