Acrylic Waterproofing
Acrylic Waterproofing is a seamless waterproofing system of outstanding quality and versatility. It is nonbituminous and liquid applied, curing to a tough elastomeric compound, which has excellent durability, weathering characteristics and chemical resistance.
Features:
- Withstands all ambient temperatures
- Resists mould and fungus growth
- Has a high degree of resistance to abrasion and traffic
- Being a brushable or sprayable liquid, it can be applied to areas which are normally not easily accessible
- Will not loose it's flexibility
- Is resistant to degradation by ultra violet rays
- Not affected by exposure to frost
- Suitable for application to vertical surfaces without slumping
- Non-toxic
- Water-based polymer facilitates easy clean up
- Not suitable for permanent immersion in water
- New concrete surfaces should be allowed to cure for two to three weeks before over coating

Acrylic Waterproofing can be laid over a variety of surfaces, for example:
