Pyramic Base Coat is a gray-colored, low VOC roof base coating formulated from water-based, pure acrylic, self-curing latex polymers. It can be applied by brush, roller, or spray over BUR, modified bitumen, and asphalt emulsion-coated surfaces.
Pyramic Base Coat may be applied by brush, roller or spray. Pyramic Base Coat should be applied at a maximum rate of 1 gal./100 sq. ft. (0.41 l/m2). Allow Pyramic Base Coat to dry for 4-8 hours before applying Pyramic and/or Solex® as the finish coat.
Roller
Pyramic Base Coat may be applied by brush, roller or spray. Pyramic Base Coat should be applied at a maximum rate of 1 gal./100 sq. ft. (0.41 l/m2). Allow Pyramic Base Coat to dry for 4-8 hours before applying Pyramic and/or Solex® as the finish coat.
Spray
Pyramic Base Coat may be applied by brush, roller or spray. For spray application information, see the Pyramic Base Coat spray application guide.
Because of Pyramic Base Coat's color, it is easy to see where the base coat and finish coats have been applied. This helps ensure the proper coverage rates of the finish coat are installed, giving the roof surface the best performance possible.
Energy Savings
Typical dark-colored built-up roofs can absorb over 70% of the solar energy that reaches them, creating temperatures over 180 °F (82.2 °C). Studies confirm that the Pyramic system can reduce roof temperatures by 50 80°F (10-26.7 °C) and save significant amounts of cooling energy during summer.
Environmentally Friendly
Pyramic Base Coat eliminates the flammability and toxicity hazards associated with solvent-based coatings. Pyramic Base Coat has no irritating or unpleasant odors.
