Elastocryl - quick drying waterproofing system

Elastocryl was developed at the request of local waterproofing contractors to provide a product that can be used throughout the year - including wet and cold winters. After doing our research into what was being used elsewhere in the world, with similar climates to the Western Cape, we had a starting point to work from. Laboratory produced samples were tested by contractors, fine tuned after feed-back, and we were up and running.
The success rate of this product has been phenomenal - we receive many calls from satisfied customers telling us how Elastocryl worked where many attempts with other products have failed. Essentially it is a high Volume Solids adhesion promoted pure acrylic, re-enforced with a high loading of wood-fibre. It dries a lot faster than other water-based waterproofing coatings, and can be applied with rain only hours away.
Possibly the best testimonial we have received was from the owner of a dedicated paint outlet - one of our opposition - who successfully waterproofed their own shop roof during light drizzle. Their own product had failed - even though it was applied in good weather conditions. Needless to say they now sell Elastocryl very successfully in their area, even though it is produced by an opposition manufacturer.
Elastocryl can be used with or without a polyester membrane, depending on the application. Application of two coats of Elastocryl at 5 square metres per litre to badly hairline-cracked substrates, followed by the top-coats, has rendered many buildings free of moisture ingress. Sealing of parapets, 'flat' concrete roofs, even reservoirs and ponds, have all been successfully achieved by this product.
Give us a call before your next waterproofing challenge - Elastocryl will beat it!
