Here are just some of the best products on the market for waterproofing:
Masonry Solutions:
Stormdry Masonry Protection Cream:
Mathys Murfill Waterproofing offers
long-lasting elastic, aesthetic and waterproof wall protection. It produces a crack bridging and waterproofing façade coating with a microporous
structure, ensuring that the base is constantly able to breathe. Ready for
use and simple to apply on any façade. It is 400% elastic which is waterproof and
water vapour permeable. It provides excellent resistance against ageing in
normal and industrial environments whilst protecting reinforced concrete
against carbonisation and corrosion.
Roof solutions:
Bedec Super-Flex is a flexible
elastomeric coating easily applied by brush, roller or spray. It forms a high
build and seamless waterproof coating which economically prevents or cures all
types of roofs, gutters and walls. Super-Flex remains flexible and
elastic, allowing for movement of the substrate, forming a long-life protective
coating. Super-Flex is suitable for application to almost any surface including
roofing tiles, slate, brick, concrete, corrugated iron,
asbestos, asphalt, felt, copper, zinc, lead, PVC or polycarbonate roof sheets,
plus most plastics and timber.
Metal Solutions:
Rust-Oleum Noxyde Plus is a single
pack, water-based elastomeric coating based on a silane modified acrylic binder
with superior adhesion and corrosion protection. The product contains
anti-corrosion pigments and is lead, chromate and zinc free. It can be used on
iron, steel, special alloys, galvanised and metallised iron and steel,
aluminium, copper, zinc, lead, etc. as rust prevention or waterproofing. It can
also be used on interior or exterior substrates.
Swimming Pool Solutions:
Teamac Chlorvar chlorinated rubber or Coo-Car Swimming Pool Paint can be applied to external and internal
surfaces. The final coat must be allowed to cure for 14 days before water
contact. If chlorinated rubber comes into water contact too soon, the coating
will absorb water like a sponge and will blister and fail. Chlorinated rubber
isn't compatible with any other coating type as
the solvent in chlorinated rubber is very aggressive and will attack other
coatings, leading to complete product failure.
