Description
SerpiMastic provides an ultra-durable, weather, UV and chemical-resistant protective coating that provides high impact protection for asbestos, cement asbestos board and thermal/insulations on boilers and pipes, and other substrates that demand a ultra-durable mastic coating. Available in two viscosity grades, sprayable and trowelable, SerpiMastic is UL classified as a bridging encapsulant for use with classified sprayed fiber and cementitious mixtures.
How to Use
SURFACE PREPARATION
Surfaces to be protected should be free of excessive loose dirt or oil. SerpiMastic Coating will bond tightly to virtually any surface. For repairs of large damaged areas, weak insulation or areas requiring greater mechanical strength apply Fiberlock Lag Kloth or Serpi Wet-Wrap ‘N’ Seal prior to SerpiMastic.
APPLICATION TOOLS
Apply with trowel or brush. SerpiMastic Trowelable can be applied using any ordinary steel mason’s trowel or similar spreading tool. For smoother finish use a wet trowel.
PRODUCT APPLICATION
SerpiMastic is supplied ready to use, thinning is not required or recommended. SerpiMastic is a water-based coating material. Coating application thickness, temperature and humidity will affect drying rate. Drying time can be minimized by applying several thinner coats, with 24 hours drying time between each coat. SerpiMastic Trowelable can be applied in a single application up to 500 mils (12.7 mm) thick without cracking or shrinking.
