Momentive RTV52 Silicone

RTV52 Silicone roof coating is a single part, liquid applied silicone coating that’s an exceptional option for roofing installations as the protective coating over several roofing substrates, including water-borne acrylic coatings, PVC membranes, coated/galvanized metals, and polyurethane foam (spray installed). RTV52 Silicone offers extreme weather degradation resistance due to the coating’s waterproof, weatherproof, durable-yet-breathable protective properties.

Momentive RTV52 Silicone is available in 5 gallon steel pails or 50 gallon steel drums.

Typical Performance Properties

  • Silicone Durability – Silicone rubber shows outstanding long-term resistance to natural weathering once cured, including: UV radiation, rain, snow, and extreme temperatures, with minute changes to elasticity
  • Versatile Application – RTV52 is a liquid applied silicone material (one-part) and can be applied by brush, roller, or spray. No mixing of material is required.
  • Ease of Use – Material has a low viscosity, allowing for easy spray application with most commercial grade spray equipment. Material will adhere to high pitches, parapets, vertical walls, and other abnormal surfaces due to its high static viscosity (until it reaches full cure).
  • Ample Work Life – Material has long work life, permitting time for treatments, including application of granules.
  • Accelerated Cure Rate – Quickly reaches weather resistant properties.
  • Low Temperature Storage – Storing material in unheated spaces during cooler months is recommended. Do not store in location where risk of material freezing is possible.
