Expert Verdict — Reviewed by the SuperArbor Pro Desk
On TPO and smooth metals, priming is the difference between a coating that stays and one that peels—roll SMARTCOAT 210 onto a clean, dry, power-washed substrate and let it dry before the topcoat window closes per the datasheet. It is your go-to primer before SMARTCOAT 450 High Solids Silicone restorations. Check substrate moisture and dew point before application for best results.
Apply with adequate ventilation and proper PPE, and follow the product data sheet and OSHA roofing safety requirements on the job site.
