Expert Verdict — Reviewed by the SuperArbor Pro Desk
Use Traffic Coat where a coated roof area needs to tolerate wear while staying flexible, such as designated walkway or service zones within a HydroStop system. Detail cracks and imperfections first since the coat covers only minor flaws, and select Safety Yellow where visual delineation of a path is useful. Always confirm full system build-up with the published HydroStop specs.
Follow the manufacturer's application instructions and safety data sheet, including ventilation and slip considerations on coated walking surfaces.
