LO/MIT-I Radiant Barrier Roof Coating is ideally suited for roof top applications since its solvent-based system allows for rapid, tack free setup and hardening. It is part of the Energy Star Cool Roof Program. Minimum roof surface temperature should be 75°F (24°C) for application, and the applied coating should be allowed to dry, moisture free, for at least 24 hours. The roof surface should be be clean and free of dust and talc and absolutely dry before application. Light pressure washing (with detergent if the roof is extremely dirty) and water rinse (if detergent is used) provides excellent surface preparation. Rusted areas on metal roofs should be mechanically abraded and primed with a suitable primer before application of LO/MIT-I. Built up and tar roofs should be allowed to age for a minimum of six months before the application of LO/MIT-I Radiant Barrier Roof Coating. Ballasted roofs should be pre-coated with rock lock mastic to prevent turnover of the ballast and extend the coverage rate of LO/MIT-I. LO/MIT-I Radiant Barrier Roof Coating is not a sealant. Any leaking or ponding issues should be addresses prior to application.
Coverage rate on smooth surfaced roofs is 400 square feet/gallon when sprayed, 300 square feet/gallon when rolled, and 200-250 square feet/gallon when sprayed on ballasted roofs. One thin coat is all that is required for application.
LO/MIT-I is a very thin coating (1 mil wet thickness), and may be abraded off the roof surface in areas of high foot traffic. Roof pads should be used on service walkways to roof top equipment to lessen abrasion.
LO/MIT-II and LO/MIT-II MAX are not suggested for exterior use.

LO/MIT-I being spray applied to the ballasted roof of the
National Weather Service Building in Daytona, Florida. LO/MIT-I is an excellent
coating for ballasted roofs, but coverage is lower than smooth surface roofs. Ballast
should be held in place with rock lock mastic before application of LO/MIT.
LO/MIT-I applied to standing seam metal roof
on commercial egg laying facility, Warren, Arkansas. LOMIT-I is excellent at lowering
radiant temperatures in agricultural applications.
