About SilaCote
SilaCote polymers are based on new silicone technology which means the curing process happens without a catalysts additive. The chemical process is similar to a moisture cure material however unlike moisture cure materials SilaCote will not produce any CO2 gas bubbles in the coating when applied over 0.5mm. Pure silane based terminated technology.
SilaCote has also been proven even when applied under the most unfavourable conditions to show properties comparable to those of polyurethane-based liquid waterproofing coatings – without the addition of solvents or plasticisers that will sweat out of a traditional system over time and make the material become brittle.
