The formula is built to dry quickly, resist sun exposure, and provide uniform coverage—making it practical for retrofit jobs and maintenance touch-ups on recreational vehicles.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does this coating protect an RV roof?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen applied in two coats, the acrylic forms a continuous film that helps shed water and shields the EPDM membrane from weathering and UV rays. It acts as an exterior barrier rather than a replacement membrane, reducing direct wear on the original roof surface. Regular inspections and correct surface prep improve adhesion and long-term performance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCreates a waterproof layer over EPDM or PVC roofs\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eReflective white surface reduces heat absorption\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eApplied as two coats for full, even coverage\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRequires proper cleaning\/activation for adhesion\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat preparation and application steps are required?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBegin with the Dicor Rubber Roof Cleaner\/Activator to remove contaminants and promote bond strength; proper prep is essential for the coating to adhere. Apply two uniform coats at the recommended rate, allowing adequate dry time between coats.

It’s suitable for retrofit projects and routine maintenance where a reflective white finish, ease of application, and reliable adhesion (when used with Dicor cleaner\/activator) are priorities. Follow all label instructions for surface prep, application temperature ranges, and required safety precautions to achieve optimal results.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003csection class=\"product-faq-snippet\"\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFAQ\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-q\"\u003eQ: Do I need a primer before using Dicor RP-CRC-1?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-a\"\u003eA: Use Dicor Rubber Roof Cleaner\/Activator as directed; a separate primer isn’t required if surface is properly prepared.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-q\"\u003eQ: How many coats and how much area does one gallon cover?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-a\"\u003eA: Apply two coats; one gallon covers about 125 sq. ft. per coat, so plan for two gallons per 125 sq. ft. total.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/section\u003e","brand":"Dicor","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67584921731257,"sku":"B004A32HUY","price":231.35,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0822\/3765\/3177\/files\/dicor-epdm-acrylic-coating-front-pint.jpg?v=1790459228","url":"https:\/\/redleafauto.ca\/products\/dicor-epdm-roof-acrylic-coating-white-1-gal-uv-resistant-waterproof-finish-for-rv-roofs","provider":"Redleaf Auto","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
