One remarkable feature of SnowGrip is its multifaceted utility, encompassing snow retention, restoration, and insulation for roofs. It fosters secure and efficient snowmelt much like an alpine glacier. When the SnowGrip surface is covered by snow, overtime it compresses into a single mass element. At the bottom of the snowpack, a icy-base layer forms naturally and adheres to the aggregate granules. As temps rise and infrared rays from the sun pass through the snowpack, an insulated drainage pathway is naturally formed even in sub zero temps.
SnowGrip surpasses traditional snow retention methods in several aspects. Unlike other systems with fewer contact points, SnowGrip minimizes the risk of dynamic load pressures on critical building components. Moreover, it promotes positive draining rather than relying solely on sublimation, evaporation, or heat cables for snowpack dehydration. Additionally, conventional systems often pose challenges during snow removal due to their hidden nature, resulting in uneven and slippery surfaces. SnowGrip provides a safer and more efficient solution for maintaining snow-free roofs, revolutionizing the approach to snow retention.
A total of 2 gallons of SnowGrip per 100 sq ft. Be sure that measurements include the additional metal surface area created by corrugations/profile of the metal panel when figuring the total surface to be covered. (Dry film thickness no less than 10 mills) When second coat is still wet, distribute SnowGrip granules at a rate of 15-20 granules per square inch.
For membrane roofing (TPO, PVC, EPDM), a special base coat is required for proper adhesion of the SnowGripEPDM: The base coat application rate is 1/2 gallon per 100 sqft, followed by 1.5 gallons of SnowGrip top coat per 100 sq ft.TPO and PVC: the basecoat application rate is 1 gallons per 100 sq ft. Followed by 1 gallon of SnowGrip top coat per 100 sq ft. When second coat is still wet, distribute SnowGrip granules at a rate of 15-20 granules per square inch

Waterproofing: When system 4000 is installed properly it has shown to provide sufficient waterproofing capabilities. No warranty is expressed or implied. If full waterproofing is required please see our system 7000 booklet.
Existing rust on roof
Spray application of large jobs is recommended because it is the most economical way to complete the job. A sprayer that will develop 3,500 - 4,000 p.s.i. with a minimum output of 3.0 - 3.3 gallons per minute is recommended. The most popular unit is the Graco GH833. The Graco Silver Gun with XHD housing is among the most popular guns for use in spraying. An XHD reverse-a-clean tip guard will accommodate the recommended tips. If using a Graco unit and/or gun, all components should be XHD rated, which has a slightly larger orifice and is designed exclusively for thicker coatings.
Recommended Hydraulic Pressure: 3,500-4,000 PSI; 245-280 Kfg/cm2
Recommended Output: 3.0-3.3 gpm; 11-12 lpm
Recommended Hose Size: ½ inch; 10 mm.
Hose Length: up to 200’; up to 61m.
Whip Hose Size: ⅜ inch; 9.5mm
Whip Hose Length: 15 feet; 4.5m.
*Do not use the same hoses for solvent-based materials and water-based materials.
Brush or Roller Application
For smaller jobs, use a semi-firm brush with polypropylene 3" bristles (or similar brush) for best results. Rollers with ½ inch to ¾ inch nap may also be used.
Troubleshooting Airless Spray Systems:
No Prime Issue: The most frequent cause is a stuck lower ball. Gently tap the fluid section while it's running or remove the lower ball and clean it. Also, investigate the source of debris, often stemming from chips inside an old suction kit. A clogged inlet strainer may be another culprit.
Irregular Stroke/Pulsating Spray: Recognize this issue when the pump moves slowly in one stroke and quickly in another. Typically, it's caused by debris in either ball. If the pump operates smoothly during the upstroke but quickly during only half of the downstroke, it might be cavitation due to a clogged suction kit or thick material.
Low or No Pressure: Several factors can lead to this problem:
Check the prime; if it's not a solid stream, inspect the inlet screen or the pump.
Be cautious of hose length and diameter; too much narrow hose with heavy material can cause a good initial spray that trails off.
Cold material might be too thick; it sprays well initially but then weakens.
If the tip size is worn past the pump's capacity, you'll notice a strong initial spray that diminishes.
Waterproofing: When system 4000 is installed properly it has shown to provide sufficient waterproofing capabilities. No warranty is expressed or implied. If full waterproofing is required please see our system 7000 booklet.
SnowGrip is designed to enhance snow retention and minimize snow discharging from roofs. While our product is engineered to effectively retain snow, it is important to note that snow and ice can still naturally shed from roofs under various uncontrollable conditions.
SnowGrip and its manufacturers shall not be held liable for any incidents or damages resulting from snow or ice discharging from treated roofs. Users are encouraged to follow proper installation guidelines and take appropriate safety measures in regions prone to heavy snowfall. It is the responsibility of users and property owners to ensure the safety of individuals and property adjacent to treated roofs.
SnowGrip recommends regular inspections and maintenance to ensure the product's continued effectiveness. Users are encouraged to consult with local building code personnel and follow any local regulated snow retention practices.
