- *What
is an ELASTOMERIC
COATING?
- - A
simple explanation is a
waterproofing coating that
stretches. It is similar
to the stretching and contraction
of a rubber band.
- *Why
does it stretch?
- -
By expanding and contraction,
the coating is able to bridge
cracks in the surface. This
prevents moisture penetration
into the substrate. Mosisture
is a major cause of deterioration
of coatings. This applies
to existing cracks or new
crack that may occur as
a result of further normal
movement.
- *Why
not just use a clear water
sealer to protect from moisture?
- -
In addition to the waterproofing
advantages, the film thickness
of coating will protect
far longer than regular
sealers. ELASTOMERIC
COATING are pigmented.
This provides a decorative
edge over clear sealers.
- *What
other advantages special
malntenance?
- -
An ELASTOMERIC COATING
has excellent resistance
to dirt pick up, chemicals
and ultra violet rays. These
all contribute to good tint
retention and appearance
for many years.
- *Does
it require special malntenance?
- -
No, If touch up repairs
are necessary, simply apply
more of the same material.
