ASKED QUESTIONS<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why is waiting normally required before protecting a bituminous membrane?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Because membranes need time to oxidize, reducing oil migration that can cause coating detachment or yellowing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Is it really possible to apply the protective coating immediately with the 2000 Fast System?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Yes. The primer blocks surface oils, enabling immediate coating application.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Is the system suitable for roofs exposed to water ponding?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Yes. The elastomeric coating is designed to resist water ponding and full weather exposure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Are the products safe for operators and the environments?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Absolutely. They are water-based, solvent-free, and low-emission &#8211; ideal for modern construction sites.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Can roof reflectance be improved?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Yes.
