1.1 Summary of Work
A. For coating concrete and clay tile and metal roofs.
1.2 SUBMITTAL
A. Submit the following items in time to prevent delay of the work and to allow
adequate time for review and resubmittals, if needed; do not order materials
or start work before receiving the written approval:
Roof Tile Coating shall be from: Mineral Life Int’l, Inc. available through:
Mineral Life Int’l, Inc.
Samples shall be submitted for color matching to the same address.
2. Samples of all specified materials and Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS)
as appropriate.
3. Apply coating samples on masonry—preferably on the building. Do not
apply samples to plywood or other non-masonry surfaces.
4. Written verification from the Contractor that all specified items will be
used. Provide purchase orders, shipping tickets, receipts, etc. to prove
that the specified materials were ordered and received.
1.3 QUALITY ASSURANCE/TEST REQUIREMENTS
A. Installer Qualifications: Company specializing in commercial painting and finishing
with three years documented experience and approved by the coating
manufacturer.
B. Coating Samples: Prepare a sample of each type of repair listed below. Prepare,
install, and finish each sample according to the specifications. All samples
must be applied to masonry. Prepare samples in an area where they will
be exposed to the same conditions as will be present on the building during
curing. Allow samples to cure at least three days (or longer, if possible) before
obtaining Owner’s approval for color match.
1.4 DELIVERY, STORAGE, AND HANDLING
A. Materials are to be delivered, stored, and handled to protect them from damage,
extreme temperature, and moisture in accordance with Manufacturer’s
written instructions.
B. Deliver and store material in Manufacturer’s original, unopened containers
with the production date shown on the container or packaging.
C. Comply with the Manufacturer’s written specifications and recommendations
for mixing, application, and curing coatings.
1.5 PROTECTION/SITE CONDITIONS
A. Cold Weather Requirements: Do not work in temperatures below 45° F, when the
substrate is colder than 45° F, or when the temperature is expected to fall below
45° F for 48 hours after installation of the coating. Building an enclosure and heating
areas to maintain this temperature may only be done with the written approval
of the Specifier.
Hot Weather Requirements: Protect coating from direct sunlight and wind during application.
Do not use or prepare coating when ambient air temperature is above 95° F.
Foul weather requirements: Do not work when precipitation is expected within 48 hours of
installation. The coating needs adequate time to bond to the substrate. Moisture disrupts
the curing process.

Part 3 – EXECUTION
3.1 WORKMANSHIP
A. Do not use any additives in the coating system.
3.2 PREPARATION FOR REPAIRS
Do not start work until surfaces to be coated are in proper condition to produce finished
surfaces of uniform, satisfactory appearance.
Mildew, algae and fungus should be removed by methods recommended by the coating
manufacturer.
Remove dust and loose particulate matter from surfaces to receive coatings immediately
prior to coating application.
Protect all non-masonry surfaces such as: glass, wood, metal, etc.
Cracks and spalls must be repaired and cured prior to coating application.
To ensure even penetration of the coating, make sure any masonry repairs have been
made with repair materials that are compatible to the substrate.
Remove any previous or existing coatings before application of new mineral coating.
Note**: Substrate must be completely dry before coating. Do not work when precipitation
is expected within 48 hours of installation. The coating needs adequate time
to bond to the substrate. Moisture disrupts the curing process.
3.3 APPLICATION OF ROOF TILE COATING
Application of Roof Tile Coating is recommended for paint sprayer.
Use of a telescopic boom lift gives ideal access to complex roofs.
1. Roof tile surface should be clean and void of paint, dirt or powdered residues.
2. Cleaning of tile surface should be made by pressure washing at 2500 psi.
3. After completely dry, application of the appropriate Roof Tile Primer.
4. Two coats of Roof Tile Coating.
Optional: Roof Tile Sealer for bright finish.
3.4 CLEAN UP
A. Place tools immediately in clean water when pausing work (15-30 minutes or
more). Clean tools with clean water immediately after finishing work. Mineral
Life Silicate Paint can be removed from non-porous surfaces with clean water
while still wet..
