PM Introduces RP 300 Ready Patch
Any seasoned roofer understands the importance of being able to help clients when they most need it – during the storm. With this in mind, Progressive Materials created a new product that can stop leaks instantly, even when it is raining.
What Is It?
RP 300 Ready Patch is a fibered mastic designed to stop leaks instantly – even under water! This thick, viscous coating can be applied on flat or vertical surfaces and keeps water out instantly. Its viscosity and tensile strength offer a strong and lasting bond, and its flexibility makes it the perfect sealant for hard-to-reach areas.
This product comes in 2-gallon pails, 20-ounce sausages, and 10-ounce tubes. It is currently available in White, Gray, and Black.
No Mixing & Reusable
Some products aimed at stopping leaks require mixing various components, which can take extra time and special equipment and can be messy. PM Regional Manager Brad Macoubrie notes RP 300 is ready to use straight out of the bucket.
“There’s no mixing,” he says. “Unlike some other products, it’s also re-usable. If you have product left in your bucket, simply place a piece of plastic over the opening. Put the lid on, and it will be ready to apply on your next project.”
Additionally, RP 300’s removable application tubes for sausage guns allow customers to move one tube to a new sausage without losing the material that otherwise would be left over and lost in that tube.
Cold Weather Resistant
Many solvents must be warm for proper application. RP 300’s great freeze-thaw stability means it can be applied in temperatures as low as minus 20 Fahrenheit without losing any quality.
Plus, thanks to its tensile strength, it resists tearing. Even if there is some joint movement on an area patched with RP 300, you can be assured the patch will not tear.
Underwater Application
Many sealants’ instructions contain the words, “Apply on dry surface.” In an emergency, with water dripping or pouring into a building, there’s no time to wait for dry weather. RP 300 can be applied on a damp surface or even on ponding water areas to stop leaks. Additionally, it doesn’t shrink after application, so what you put on your roof will remain there.

Conclusion
Small roof leaks can turn into bigger problems. Water damage can be devastating for a building and its contents. But PM’s Ready Patch provides an easy-to-use, all-weather solution when emergencies arise. As we’ve shown, it can be applied on many surfaces and stops leaks instantly. Additionally, it can be applied even under water and offers great protection.
Here comes the rain again. Are you ready?
