Acrypol Plus Acrylic Waterproof Coating
Product Description
Acrypol Plus is a total roof coating waterproof system, developed to refurbish failed industrial, commercial or domestic flat roofs. Acrypol Plus roof coating was specifically developed to provide a solution for carrying out the day to day maintenance requirements of those involved in roof waterproofing protection. As with most water penetration problems associated with leaking roofs, the need to carry out remedial repairs is very rarely possible during long spells of inclement weather. This is mainly due to the fact that in order to carry out an effective long term repair to leaking roofs, it is generally necessary to ensure that the surfaces to be treated are completely dry.
Acrypol plus can be applied during damp weather conditions and at the same time provide a long term solution to the problem. The all-weather application properties, combined with the simplicity of application, makes this product a particularly attractive proposition to those employing their own labour force for general property maintenance. The versatility of Acrypol paint is acknowledged widely by Municipal Authorities and Maintenance Contractors throughout the United Kingdom.
How does Acrypol Plus work?
Acrypol Plus is an acrylic resin dispersed in a solvent to form a semi-liquid paste. The coating film dries into a tough durable elastic overlay that prevents the passage of water, yet is chemically structured to allow trapped moisture to evaporate, thus avoiding the formation of blisters. A specific feature is incorporated with added fibres, fibres that act like a built-in scrim. These fibres interlace when the coating is applied - filling and bridging gaps and cracks (up to 10mm wide). The fibres increase the tensile strength of the dry film making it more durable - a big plus ! Acrypol Plus is available in two standard colours, Solar White for maximum solar protection of the roof surface, and Medium Grey generally used for day to day patching repairs where it is preferable to blend the coating into surrounding building material colours.
Application
- Brush applied as a semi liquid paste, it dries to form an ultra tough, seamless flexible overlay.
- Acrypol+ can be applied during damp weather conditions and still provide a long term solution to waterproofing problems.
- The simple one-coat all-weather application is ideal for general property maintenance and day to day patching repairs.
Primers & Sealers
- Generally Acrypol Plus requires no Primer/Sealers, however, on rare occasions i.e. highly porous/friable surfaces eg. concrete, asbestos or where stone chippings have been removed, better application results may be obtained by first applying the recommended Acrypol sealer.
Acrypol without fibres
- In certain areas where minimal structural movement occurs and tensile strength is not of paramount importance, eg. corrugated asbestos sheeting, or where spray application of the coating is required, the product is available without fibres under the description of standard Acrypol which is also available in Solar White or Medium Grey colours
