SilaCote is Based on Proven Silicone Waterproofing Technology
Moisture triggered, single application hydrophobic instant waterproof liquid membrane – Long lasting protection of new and refurbished flat roofs, balconies and walkways - Perfect for UK weather conditions.
What makes SilaCote different?
SilaCote has high elongation and is highly flexible, however unlike most two-part roof coating systems it doesn’t contain any plasticizers (the substance that is added to a material to make it softer and more flexible). When exposed to UV (sunlight), plasticizers migrate and evaporate eventually leaving the coating brittle and prone to splitting.
Adhesion values are second to none, once applied it provides instant waterproofing to any substrate (rainproof within 15 minutes). Unlike most coating systems where the adhesion value decreases over time and you could peel the membrane, SilaCote adhesion makes that impossible due to its polymer design.
Easily Hand Applied - Solvent Free - No Primer Required - No Top Coat Required, - 100% Aliphatic / Uv Stable (No Colour Change) – Unlimited Overcoat Time – Use Only What You Need / No Waste - 100% Solids – Light Foot Traffic 4 Hours - Saves Money On Materials And Labour
SilaCote - Non-Flammable and Non-Hazardous Coating Systems
Fire Rating BS 476 part 3 test:- EXT.F.AA; EN 1187 test 4 – BROOF(t4) tested as a flat roof Addresses issues such as priming the substrate (no primer required), mixing errors (single component), over-coating window (there is none), waste (you can reseal the pot for the next job), upstand detailing (it adheres easily – no runs) and finally SilaCote does NOT have outgassing issues (bubbling).
