JOB CONDITIONS
Air and substrate temperature for application of Rollershield-RS must be 40ºF (5°C) or higher and must remain 40ºF (5°C) or higher for a minimum of 24 hours unless special procedures are used. Provide temporary protection to protect the wall system from damage until permanent flashings, caps and sealants are installed. Store materials within prescribed temperature limits and out of direct sunlight. Working and drying times are based upon normal room temperature conditions and will vary with temperature and humidity.

PREPARATION
The substrate must be approved by Master Wall Inc.®, clean, dry, structurally sound, and free of efflorescence, oil, grease, form release agents and curing compounds or anything that would affect bond. Painted surfaces are not acceptable and must be removed or bond test performed. Substrates must be flat and free of fins or planar irregularities greater than 1/4” in 10’-0” (6.35 mm in 3.05 m).

APPLICATION PROCEDURE

Concrete – Must have cured a minimum of 28 days prior to the application of Rollershield-RS. If form release agents or curing compounds exist on the surface, they must be removed with a solution of muriatic acid or similar product (with appropriate precautions). Remove any residual acid by flushing with water.

Brick/Masonry – If joints are not struck flush, multiple coats may be required. Porous CMU may require additional coats.

Sheathing Applications – Sheathing gaps must be less than 1/4” (6.4 mm).See Technical Bulletin #189 for larger gap suggestions. Gap wood-based sheathing per manufacturers recommendations, typically 1/8” (3.2 mm)minimum.

Mixing – Thoroughly stir Rollershield-RS into a homogenous consistency. Do not add water, over mix, or add accelerators or retarders to the product.

Application – Rollershield-RS is applied by first treating the joints and fastener locations where sheathing is used, then coating the entire surface using brush, roller, trowel, or airless spray equipment techniques. When using a foam roller, a maximum ¾” (19 mm) nap is recommended. Apply in an even, continuous coat, maintaining a wet edge of approximately 15 mils wet film thickness (WFT). Oriented Strand Board and other porous substrates will require two (2) coats of Rollershield-RS. For moisture protection, apply Rollershield-RS as a continuous barrier of 10 mils dry thickness with no breaks or skips, although some areas will appear lighter than others due to the application process. The application need not look like a painted surface.

Joint Treatment—Apply a thin layer of Rollershield-RS to the joints and embed SuperiorShield Flashing Tape into the wet mixture and trowel smooth. Alternatively place and center SuperiorShield Mesh over all joints, corners, and gaps in the substrate. Immediately apply Rollershield-RS over the mesh and allow to dry.

Rollershield-RS may be flashed into window, door and other openings using the same techniques for sheathing applications. Any remaining gaps should be filled with additional Rollershield-RS, TG (Trowel Grade) or SuperiorFlash.

Wall Treatment—Apply Rollershield-RS to the wall surface using the foam roller, trowel or by spray applying and backrolling to a uniform thickness of 15 mils WFT, 10 mils dry with no pinholes or voids.

SPECIALTY APPLICATION – MEDIUM AND HIGH BUILD
Application for Medium-Build Specification: apply one or two coats to achieve minimum 20 mils wet film thickness (WFT). If applied by roller apply two coats to achieve minimum 20 mils WFT. For CMU substrates apply two or three coats to achieve 20-60 mils WFT.

Application for High-Build Specification: apply two or three coats to achieve 40 mils WFT. If applied by roller apply three or more coats as needed. For CMU substrates apply multiple coats to achieve 40-60 mils WFT.

IMPORTANT: the condition of the substrate may dictate thicker application or more coats to achieve a VOID and PINHOLE FREE SURFACE, particularly on substrates like concrete masonry where CMU composition, unit weight (lightweight or normal weight), porosity, joint profile, and other variables may exist. For “rough” CMU wall surfaces level with Master Wall Base Coat before applying the coating. Use the mock-up and site tests as the basis for the work. Some highly absorbent glass mat gypsum sheathing substrates may require back rolling to achieve a VOID and PINHOLE FREE surface. Avoid excess film build-up of wet material to prevent sag, especially on non-porous surfaces and during cold or damp weather. Work away from
sun during application.

SPECIALTY APPLICATION – COLD WEATHER
Special Instruction for Cold Temperature Application: Master Wall Rollershield may be applied at temperatures less than 40° down to 25°F (4° down to -3.8°C), provided certain conditions are met:

  1. Pre-condition Rollershield-RS to 65°-75°F (18°-24°C) for a minimum of 24 hours.
  2. Confirm and maintain substrate and ambient temperatures are minimum 25°F (- 3.8°C) and rising at the time of application and do not fall below 25°F (-3.8°C) until Rollershield-RS is fully dry.
  3. Apply Rollershield-RS over standard sheathing substrates – glass mat gypsum, plywood, or OSB.
  4. Confirm substrate surfaces are frost-free, dry and remain dry throughout the application and curing process.
  5. Apply Rollershield-RS at a wet film thickness of no greater than 15 mils WFT.
  6. Apply Rollershield-RS with Master Wall SuperiorShield Flashing Tape for joint and rough opening treatments.
  7. Apply in dry weather and protected from rain or other precipitation for at least 24 hours and relative humidity (RH) remains at or below 50%.
  8. IMPORTANT: Final water-resistive barrier and air barrier material properties, and film toughness, depend on temperatures rising above
    freezing.

COLD WEATHER LIMITATIONS
Application range is at ambient temperatures between 25° and 100°F (-3.8° and 38°C) during application and drying period. Strictly adhere to Special Instructions for Cold Temperature Application if installing below 40°F (4°C).
Do not apply if substrate or ambient temperature is less than 25°F (-3.8°C), or if temperatures will go below 25°F (-3.8°C) at any time during the application or drying period.
Do not apply if the surface temperature is less than 5°F (2.8°C) above the ambient dew point temperature.

SPRAY APPLICATION

Rollershield-RS is compatible with GRACO and Titan airless spray equipment with the following specifications:

• Minimum 1 gallon per minute output.
• Minimum hose width of 3/8 inch.
• Minimum tip size of 0.027–0.031.

Minimum pressure requirement to spray of 2,000 psi at the gun with an airless sprayer rated no lower than 3,300 psi. Remove all filters in sprayer and gun before application.

Hopper Gun: 3/16”-1/4” (6-6.5 mm) orifice, 23-25 psi.

LIMITATIONS

Not for use as an exterior finish, note exposure limitations on front page.
When adhering Rollershield Drainage CIFS® to the surface assure it is clean, dry, and free of surface contamination. Remove any dirt or surface contamination before adhesive attachment.
Allowable in-service temperature range: -40° to 180°F (-40° to 82°C).
Fire-retardant or pressure treated plywood must be dry with surface free of salts or other chemicals migrating from within the wood. Test adhesion to be sure of desired results.
Use a slip sheet, typically one layer of building paper between Rollershield-RS and stucco or adhered masonry veneer over metal lath.

CLEAN UP
Tools and equipment can be cleaned with soapy water when Rollershield- RS is wet.
