Lead Patination Oil is a simple and effective solution for roofers working with lead roofing or flashings.

When left untreated, leadwork is susceptible to staining when rainwater reacts with the surface. This staining can spoil the appearance of roofs, and can also run off and stain surrounding brickwork, tiles or stone.

Applying Lead Patination Oil is quick and easy with a soft absorbent cloth , and is suitable for newly installed lead on residential or commercial roofs.

Features

• Prevents staining on lead sheets and flashings
• Protect surrounding roofing from runoff
• Extends the lifespan of lead flashings
• Simple to apply

APPLICATION:
Patination oil should be applied to all newly installed leadwork on the day of installation. It is applied by wiping the leadwork with a lint-free cloth or rag. Apply evenly in a horizontal motion moving from top to bottom. Do not apply in a circular motion as patterns can become visible.

Expect typical coverage of approximately 40 m2 per litre of patination oil.
Lead to be treated must be clean and dry, and applied at a time where rain is not imminent.

STORAGE:

• Store in cool dry conditions, at temperatures of between 5 and 30 degrees. Ensure good ventilation and keep away from sources of flame or ignition.

CAUTIONS:

• Patination oil should not come in to contact with bituminous product or polycarbonate/plastic sheeting, as deterioration will occur.
• Gloves should be worn whilst handing and applying patination oil.
• Users should familiarise themselves with the Material Safety Data Sheet.
• Used clothes, rags and gloves must be contained and thoughtfully disposed of after use. They must be considered highly flammable.
