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.
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.
