Acrypol+ is a total roof coating waterproof system, developed to refurbish failed industrial, commercial or domestic flat roofs.
Acrypol+ 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+ 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+ is acknowledged widely by Municipal Authorities and Maintenance Contractors throughout the United Kingdom.
Acrypol+ 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+ 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.
Primers & Sealers
Generally Acrypol+ 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.
Minimum Coverage is between 1 & 2kg per square metre.
Question:
My existing roof has a "liquid plastic" waterproof system on it, is this product compatable for covering it?
Answer:
Yes this should still be suitable,m but if you have a hard/shiny GRP surface it may need to be keyed/scuffed up first to help it to bond.
Question:
Can this product be used on balconies where there will medium traffic?
Answer:
No this is not suitable for foot traffic as it stays slightly tacky in warm weather, only suitable for very light/infrequent foot traffic I am afraid.
Question:
can this be applied direct to new OSB boards on a childrens tree house?
Answer:
Yes you could apply this direct to boards.
Question:
I have a flat dormer with a smooth membrane covering would this product be suitable.
Answer:
It depends what the membrane is made of but Acrypol will go over most materials. You could maybe send us photos to sales@roofingauperstore.co.uk.
Question:
CAN THIS BE APPLIED BY ROLLER
Answer:
Unfortunately not, this has to be brush applied due to it's thickness.
Question:
Can this be use on a Fibreglass roof?
Answer:
Yes it can. You will need to scuff the exsisting surface so that the Acrypol has something to grip to.
Question:
What temperature can I apply the product.
Answer:
This product cannot be used in temperatures below 5 Degrees. However, it can be used in damp conditions.
Question:
Can this be used on lead soakers and guttering?
Answer:
Yes it can, you may want to also use a scrim in guttering to give extra reinforcement over any joints.
