DESCRIPTION: United Coatings

™

Roof Mate

™

Butter Grade Flashing

is a water-based high solids acrylic sealant that utilizes the latest

advances in acrylic technology. It is part of the Roof Mate

™

Coating

System and is used to repair and reinforce penetrations and seams.

Roof Mate

™

Butter Grade Flashing has a thick, buttery consistency,

which allows it to be easily worked into vertical seams on metal

roofs, into gaps in flashings, around protrusions, and into heavily

alligatored areas in weathered asphaltic roofing. This material has

low shrinkage and does not utilize plasticizers.

USES: On metal roofs, Roof Mate

™

Butter Grade Flashing can be

used on metal roof fasteners and vertical seams, and with Roof

Mate

™

Fabric over horizontal seams. On asphaltic roofs, Roof

Mate

™

Butter Grade Flashing can be used over seams, around

penetrations, and over alligatored areas. Roof Mate

™

Butter Grade

Flashing can also be used with Roof Mate

™

Fabric to reinforce

penetrations and seams on asphaltic roofs. On TPO and PVC roofs,

Roof Mate

™

Butter Grade Flashing can be used over penetrations

and seams to provide extra protection, or with fabric to reinforce

penetrations and seams. Note: TPO or PVC roof must be primed

before applying a flashing or coating. Do NOT use on

EPDM membranes.

SUBSTRATE PREPARATION: All surfaces must be clean, dry, and

free of any dirt, dust, oil, surface chemicals, or other contaminants

that may interfere with optimum adhesion. Any unsound areas

in the roof must be repaired or replaced prior to application.

Deteriorated or badly corroded metal must be replaced prior to

application. TPO & PVC roofs must be primed before applying Roof

Mate

™

Base Coat. See gaf.com for more details.

APPLICATION: Apply with a putty knife, spatula, or stiff-bristle

brush. Apply up to 1/4” (6 mm) thick. Apply the Roof Mate

™

Butter

Grade Flashing in sufficient quantity to encapsulate fastener heads

and completely seal the seam or crack being treated, extending 1 –

2 inches (25 – 52 mm) on either side of the opening. A stiff-bristle

brush should be utilized for working it into seams, cracks, and

alligatored areas. When sealing vertical seams on metal roof decks,

the Roof Mate

™

Butter Grade Flashing should be worked up into the

seam with a brush.

CLEAN-UP: Thoroughly rinse application equipment with

clean water.

STORAGE & HANDLING: Store material in a clean and well-

ventilated area at 40°F – 90°F (4°C – 32°C). Storage outside this

temperature range may shorten shelf life. Keep containers covered

when not in use. Do NOT allow coating to freeze.

SHELF LIFE: 12 months from date of manufacture in unopened

containers, if stored properly.

IMPORTANT: Repair leaks promptly to avoid adverse effects,

including mold growth.
