Acrypol+ - Waterproof Roof Coating

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 for general property maintenance. The versatility of ACRYPOL+ is acknowledged widely by Municipal Authorities and Maintenance Contractors throughout the United Kingdom.

The product 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, which act like a built‐in scrim. These fibres interlace when the coating is applied – filling and bridging gaps and cracks (up to 10 mm wide). The fibres increase the tensile strength of the dry film making it more durable ‐ a big plus.

Voids above 10 mm should be filled with an appropriate flexible filler and allowed to set or dry. Alternatively, the void may be covered with a heavy duty adhesive tape i.e. Cromar Orange Tape or Gaffa Tape and then over‐coated with Acrypol +.

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 AS8000.
