Description of Raingard

Raingard is a thixotropic, solvent-based, fibre-filled acrylic roof sealer and waterproof coating. It can be applied even in damp conditions to stop leaks on a variety of materials. Fibres incorporated into Raingard enable cracks and gaps to be bridged. It is vapour-permeable, allowing damp substrates to breathe while eliminating blistering or lack of adhesion.

How to use Raingard

• Roof surfaces should be clean and free from surface contaminants, including rust debris, dirt & stone chippings.  
• If fungal growth has been removed, the surface should be treated with a fungicidal wash to kill off any remaining spores.  
• Raingard requires only one coat, which should be applied with a coarse brush straight from the can. On very smooth surfaces, the product is best applied by roller when dry. 
• Raingard is solvent-based, so good ventilation should be ensured. Care should be taken when applying close to ventilators, to avoid discomfort to occupants.  
• Raingard can be applied at ambient temperatures above 0°C. Frost and ice will significantly reduce the adhesion of the product.
