Pro Metal Series, is a spray-applied restoration system for metal roofs that pairs RC 2250SG premium Rubber Seam Compound [spray-grade] with RC 2016 One Pass Rubber Roof Coating. In a statement, the company says its single-pass system allows commercial roofing companies to repair and restore metal roofs at a significantly lower cost and a better profit margin than a complete roof replacement. Formulated with corrosion inhibitor, mildewcide, primer and UV protectant, RC 2016 One Pass uses a smaller amount of product than other coatings to restore a roof, the company said, which reduces the number of days on-site. This allows contractors to complete the restoration faster and move on to the next rubber roof coating project.
