THE GO-TO PAINT FOR EXTERIOR APPLICATION ON ROOFS AND WALLS
Bedec Super-Flex is a flexible and elastomeric coating for roofs and walls, quickly applied by brush, roller or spray, which dries to form a high build, all-in-one waterproof membrane that stretches and flexes with the substrate. Suitable for painting on almost any substrate including roofing tiles, slate, brick, concrete, corrugated iron, asbestos, asphalt, felt, copper, zinc, most plastics and timber.
Bedec Super Flex is a flexible and elastomeric coating, quickly applied by brush, roller or spray, which dries to form a high build, seamless waterproof membrane. Prevents leaks and cures all types of leaking roofs, gutters and walls by providing a seamless surface that flexes with the substrate. It is easy to apply and remains flexible and elastic to allow for movement of the substrate, forming a long-life protective coating. This quick drying, high build paint provides UV Protection and provides a durable, long life coating that will help reduce maintenance costs over time.
What applications/uses is Bedec Super Flex Roof Coating most suitable for?
For weatherproofing roofs and walls and can be used on almost any surface including roofing tiles, slate, clay, brick, concrete, corrugated iron, asbestos, asphalt, felt, copper, zinc, most plastics and timber after suitable preparation.

SAFETY
We take health and safety seriously here at AllFinishes and recommend you use the correct protection for the job. Disregarding safety equipment can be damaging and result in long term health conditions. Please check out our Moldex range for high quality respirators and hearing protection.
PREPARATION
Surfaces should be sound, dry and free from oil, wax and grease. Remove any loose, powdery or flaking material. Surfaces, which are contaminated with lichen or moss, should be brushed clean and washed with a Fungicidal Wash and allowed to dry thoroughly before coating. Any structural repairs that may be necessary should be carried out before applying Bedec Super-flex.
After cleaning, different substrates must be prepared or primed differently per the following:
- For Asbestos, Asphalt, Felt, Bitumen, Concrete, Brickwork, Rendering, Slate: Prime with a first coat of Super flex thinned with 30% clean water.
- For Plastics: Lightly abrade and apply directly
- For Iron and Steel: Prime with an antis corrosive metal primer
- For Lead, Zinc, Copper, Aluminium: Clean and apply direct
For repair of Cracks and Jointing Treatment: After preparation and pre-treatment, cover all joints with PVC adhesive tape, in short lengths (approximately 24 inches or 60 cm) to avoid stretching. Apply a thin coat of Super-flex over the tape and immediate surrounding area. Stipple 6 ins (15 cm) polyester or glass fibre scrim evenly into the wet Super-flex and allow drying thoroughly. Apply a further thin coat of Super-flex, with a generous overlap on each side, and allow drying. Apply at least one further full coat of Super-flex at the normal spreading rate and allow to dry. Care should be taken that the scrim membrane is properly embedded and flush to the contour of the surface. If the repair is on an area subject to standing water, the perimeter of the Super-flex system should be extended to a normally dry section.
APPLICATION
DO NOT APPLY WHEN THE AIR TEMPERATURE IS BELOW 10°C.
If repair involves only small-localised cracks or fractures, apply two full coats of Super-flex over the treatment previously outlined. Where the complete roof surface is to be weatherproofed, after necessary preparation as outlined, apply two full coats of Super-flex, allowing thorough drying between each coat.
In ALL cases, the Super-flex finishing coats must be brushed at right angles to each other.
Roof Surfaces: Super flex finishing coats should be applied to a maximum of 2 m²/l per coat. Apply by "laying on" and do not apply like paint.
Gutters: These are normally lined with metal, asbestos or bituminous material. Failures often occur through porosity or loss of fall. To rectify leaking gutters, thoroughly clean down and apply appropriate primer or sealer, and treat cracks, fractures and joints with tape and scrim membrane as previously specified. Apply two full coats of Super-flex, allowing thorough drying between coats. Do not apply to wet or damp surfaces, or where there is a likelihood of rain before Super-flex has dried.
Always apply two separate coats of Super flex and not one extra thick coat. Ponded water should be brushed away especially on freshly applied Super-flex. It is essential to build up deep depressions on flat roofs to eliminate ponding.
It is very important that Super flex weatherproofing system should be applied to the correct film thickness. The spreading rate of 2 sq. metres per litre per coat should not be exceeded.
AFTERCARE
Clean equipment immediately after use with warm soapy water. Remove as much product as possible prior to cleaning.
Do not empty in to drains or watercourses. Some local authorities have special facilities for disposal or dispensing of waste coatings.
