Liquid Waterproofing Coatings for Every Surface

MS Polymer vs. Polyurethane vs. Polyurea: What’s Right for You?

Welcome to Clever Shield Coatings

At Clever Shield, we supply high-performance liquid waterproofing coatings designed for professionals and serious DIYers alike. Whether you're sealing a roof, protecting a balcony, or waterproofing a foundation, we offer the best technologies on the market—MS polymers, polyurethane coatings, and polyurea membranes.

✅ What Are Liquid Applied Waterproofing Coatings?

Liquid waterproofing membranes are applied as fluids and cure to form seamless, durable barriers. They provide excellent protection against water ingress, UV damage, cracking, and structural movement. Each type of coating—MS polymer, polyurethane, or polyurea—offers unique advantages depending on your substrate and performance requirements.

Liquid Waterproofing Coatings for Every Surface

🧪 MS Polymer Coatings

MS polymers (Modified Silane) are solvent-free, isocyanate-free, and low in VOCs. They bond to nearly any surface and cure using moisture in the air. These flexible membranes are ideal for sensitive environments, interior applications, and areas exposed to movement.

Benefits of MS Polymer Coatings:

  • Seamless and flexible

  • UV and weather resistant

  • Bonds to damp or difficult surfaces

  • Safe for indoor use

  • Non-toxic and odourless

🧱 Polyurethane Coatings

Polyurethane (PU) coatings form an elastic membrane that resists cracking and wear. These coatings are ideal for flat roofs, podium decks, walkways, and foundations.

Benefits of Polyurethane Coatings:

  • Excellent elongation and crack-bridging

  • UV-stable and weatherproof

  • Cold-applied and easy to use

  • Trafficable and long-lasting

  • Compatible with most substrates

⚙️ Polyurea Coatings

Polyurea is a high-performance waterproofing system known for rapid curing and extreme durability. Best suited for industrial or commercial use, polyurea membranes handle chemical exposure, abrasion, and high-impact environments.

Benefits of Polyurea Coatings:

  • Cures in seconds to minutes

  • High tensile strength and elongation

  • Exceptional chemical and UV resistance

  • Forms seamless protection on any surface

  • Ideal for tank linings, decks, and containment
