Description

Acrypol Plus Acrylic Waterproof Coating is a high-performance, all-weather roof coating system designed to refurbish leaking industrial, commercial, or domestic flat roofs. Developed to address the day-to-day maintenance needs of those who work in the trade, this product stands out for its unique capabilities. This acrylic resin-based coating, dispersed in a solvent to create a semi-liquid paste, transforms into a tough, durable, and elastic overlay upon drying, which also allows trapped moisture to evaporate, preventing blister formation.

Unlike traditional solutions, Acrypol Plus can be applied during damp weather conditions, providing an effective long-term remedy for water penetration issues. This is a crucial advantage, as inclement weather often hinders remedial repairs on leaking roofs, necessitating dry surfaces for successful application. Its all-weather properties, paired with ease of application, make Acrypol Plus an attractive proposition for professionals in the trade.

Features & Benefits: Acrypol Plus Acrylic Waterproof Coating

A high-performance, all-weather roof coating system for industrial, commercial, and domestic flat roofs
Minimum coverage is between 1kg and 2kg per square metre
The acrylic resin-based coating transforms into a tough, durable, and elastic overlay upon drying
Allows trapped moisture to evaporate, preventing blister formation
Can be applied during damp weather conditions
Includes fibres that interlace during application, filling and bridging gaps and cracks up to 10mm wide
Acknowledged by various Municipal Authorities and Maintenance Contractors in the UK
Comes in Solar White for maximum solar protection and Medium Grey for seamless patching repairs

An added feature incorporates fibres that act like a built-in scrim, interlacing during application to fill and bridge gaps and cracks up to 10mm wide. This not only enhances the coating's tensile strength but also contributes to its durability.

Municipal Authorities and Maintenance Contractors across the United Kingdom widely acknowledge the versatility of Acrypol Plus. It is available in Solar White for maximum solar protection and Medium Grey for seamless patching repairs with various roofing materials.

Please note:

In certain areas where minimal structural movement occurs and tensile strength is not of paramount importance, e.g. 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.
