metal 1-kote features

METAL 1-KOTE‘s original biobased formula makes it easy to permanently seal and repair your roof!

A good choice for the environment

biobased ~ reduces energy usage ~ non-toxic

Metal 1-kote contains a proprietary blend of natural agricultural oils. Biobased products help reduce dependence on petroleum based products and provide markets for American farmers. Metal 1-kote White (rated by the Cool Roof Rating Council and an ENERGY STAR® qualified roof coating) reflects the sun's rays, reducing building temperatures and cooling costs. Metal 1-kote is biodegrable, non-toxic and VOC compliant...the best choice for your roof and the environment!

A good choice for your roof

instant waterproof protection ~ never needs priming, even over rust

Metal 1-kote is the only metal roof coating with a unique organic oil-based formula that forms an immediate watertight seal. Metal 1-kote withstands ponding water and can be applied in cold weather, high humidity or when rain is forecast. Metal 1-kote is the only metal roof coating that never needs priming! Metal 1-kote coats directly over surface rust with a 100% watertight seal, stops rust from spreading and locks out moisture so rust can't come back. One coat coverage means 100% waterproof protection.

A good choice for your budget

one coat coverage ~ limited ongoing maintenance ~ save time & money

Metal 1-kote is the only metal roof coating that seals and waterproofs in just one coat! Water-based products require primers and multiple coats and they still don't last. Aluminum products have to be recoated year after year. . . and they still turn brittle, flake off and fail. Metal 1-kote is easy to apply and requires little yearly maintenance or recoating costs. Metal 1-kote can withstand attack by UV rays, mold & mildew and temperature extremes. For business property owners, roofing repair costs can be expensed immediately, unlike capital expenses, which have to be amortized over many years. Why go up on your roof over and over? One coat coverage saves you time and money!

Easy to Apply - Clean...Patch...Coat!

Roller: Smooth foam roller

Approximate Coverage Rates Per Gallon

Recommended Spreading Rate:30-40 mils wet
Coverage: 30-40 sq. ft. per gallon

When estimating amount needed, always allow for roof stretch factor (square footage + corrugation/seam profile footage). Allow extra material when coating rusted surfaces.

Coverage rates are given in good faith by TKO Waterproof Coatings and should be used as an estimate only. Actual coverage rates will vary due to the individual nature of each application. Therefore, TKO Waterproof Coatings is not responsible for any variance between estimated and actual coverage rates.

General Application Guidelines

Preparation: Mix product thoroughly before using. If skin forms on surface of coating, cut skin carefully and remove completely before stirring and using product. DO NOT THIN. Product warranty is voided if product is altered in any way. Keep tightly sealed after opening to prevent skin formation, stir again before each use. Store at 40°F to 85°F. Can be factory-tinted or painted to match surrounding surfaces. Power-wash surface with a water pressure washer up to 3000 psi. Insure that the surface is clean and free of dirt, grease, oil and debris. Remove all mold and mildew. Remove all loose or poorly adhered coatings. If roof was previously coated or patched with an aluminum or asphaltic coating, prime surface with Primer-kote prior to applying Metal 1-kote. Make sure previous coating is firmly adhered before applying Metal 1-kote.
Patching: Patch all seams, breaks, leaks and problem areas with Metal-Patch and Tuffglass Fabric before coating. Replace worn or rusted fasteners.
Priming: Some substrates may require priming of the surface with Primer-kote prior to coating. Contact factory for product specification sheet and more information.
Application: Mix product thoroughly before using. Do not thin. Product warranty is voided if product is altered in any way. Keep lid tightly sealed after opening to prevent skin formation, stir again before each use. If skin forms, remove completely prior to mixing. Apply one thick coat at 30 to 40 wet mils. Always use a wet film gauge to ensure the proper mil thickness has been applied. Temperature range for application: 40° F to 100° F for air, surface and material with a maximum humidity of 85%. Keep material at 72° F to 100° F for best spread rate.
Drying time: Initial skin forms in two to four hours; develops thicker set skin in 24 to 48 hours in good drying conditions (72° F and 50% humidity). Final dry time will vary based on ambient temperature, weather conditions, relative humidity, application thickness, air movement and precipitation. Avoid all foot traffic until fully cured. Suitable for occasional/maintenance foot traffic only. Do not use on decks or high traffic areas.
Clean-up: Clean tools with mineral spirits. Dispose of containers properly.
