When Looking for a sealant...Why is Liquid Roof/Liquid Rubber Your Best Solution

First. no other product can match the durability of EPDM rubber. Liquid Roof and Liquid Rubber is a true EPDM rubber, it is easily applied, has a slow cure time and is water resistant. This will enhance appearance and help retain value. Liquid Roof/Liquid Rubber is the only liquid EPDM product on the market. Liquid Roof/Liquid Rubber is also one of the best waterproofing agents on the market today! excellent water, vapor and gas barrier; temperature tolerance from minus 60 degrees F. to plus 300 degrees F.; elastomeric; Ozone and UV stability; broad chemical resistance from strong bases to acids; high dielectric value; excellent corrosion protection on steel and aluminum; not affected by salts; resists cathodic disbondment; easily repairable.

Is specifically designed for Residential and Commercial Roofs. Use Liquid Rubber to recoat weathered metal, sheet rubber, urethane foam, cement and modified asphalt roof roofing. Excellent for waterproofing concrete, roof desks and roof tiles. Can be applied directly to plywood and lumber. Liquid Rubber is also very effective coating for steel especially where it is exposed to a salt environment. May be applied on roof, gutters, structural steel, air conditioner enclosures, cooling towers, galvanized steel, unit heater flues, smoke stacks chimneys, fiberglass and non porous masonry surfaces.

For RV, Trailer Mobile Home and Camper Owners, Stop making the same roof repairs every year using other products. Did you know the average RV has at least five penetrations through its roof-skylights, refrigerator vents, air conditioner and plumbing vent? Each of these has a flashing around it. The roof skin has three or four seams and must also be sealed around the entire perimeter. Most manufacturers will apply acrylic or butyl rubber caulk around the roof penetrations and seams to seal against the intrusion of water. Initially the caulks are flexible and adhere tightly to the surface; however, after five or six years of continuous exposure to ultraviolet rays from the sun plus the ozone in our atmosphere, a gradual embrittlement and loss of adhesion occurs in these caulks. This process eventually leads to cracking and then to leaks. The application of Liquid Roof will greatly delay the onset of age-related problems with caulks. Trailers and RV', campers, house boats etc all have some portion of the roof which will pond water. For those of you living in the Gulf states you experience sudden afternoon showers. Those in the northern states experience rapid temperature drops late in the day during Spring and Fall. These kinds of situations might result in acrylic coating products being partially if not totally destroyed. Liquid Roof is the best and also the most cost effective product for solving this problem.

For Pond Owners, Waterproofing Fish Ponds, Fountains, & Reflecting Pools with Liquid EPDM Rubber Concrete which has not been modified with special additives must be protected by an impervious coating when used for containing water. Unprotected concrete will absorb water which can then leach out soluble constituents and cause spalling when frozen. The combination of outdoor exposure plus water immersion creates a demanding environment for a coating. It must have high resistance to water penetration, be flexible enough to withstand extremes in temperature, and not be affected by ultra violet radiation from the sun. Liquid EPDM rubber coatings possess all this characteristics and are also non toxic to fish.

Preparation. Drain water and clean surface dirt while concrete is still wet. High pressure water spray and/or scouring surface with a wire brush may be necessary in fish ponds. If algae is present treat with an algaecide or 25% solution of bleach, let stand for one hour and rise well. Allow one week (rainfree) for concrete to dry out.

Whether your pond is concrete, plastic or rubber lined. Liquid Roof can fix your leaks troubles. Plastic pond liners have a tendency to crack or to tear. There are products such at tapes and caulks that will eventually wear. Liquid Roof, on the other hand will not. For concrete ponds the easiest solution for leaks are to cover them with a rubber liner but they are tricky to install. Liquid Roof provides an easy one-time solution to your pond leak regardless of if they are made of rubber, concrete or plastic. And yes, it is safe on fish!

PLYWOOD:Liquid Roof has been used directly over plywood to make a finished roof in situations where expediency and minimal cost were the primary considerations. Although this procedure results in a weaker roof structure, water-tightness can be achieved if the application is performed carefully. The joint between sheets should be positioned directly over a roof truss and securely fastened to prevent warping. Next, to seal the pores, coat plywood with oil based sealer. Allow an overnight cure. Seal the joint by bridging it with a 6" wide polyester fabric strip. Apply a light coat of rubber over the joint, lay fabric into wet rubber and smooth out wrinkles. Complete job by applying a liberal coat of Liquid Roof over entire roof surface, being especially careful to completely cover the fabric over the joint without skips or pinholes. Using an oil bases sealer on the wood considerably improves the appearance of a one-coat application of Liquid Roof.

Preventative Maintenance During new construction, caulks and sealants are used to waterproof around flashings, vents and other protrusions throughout your roof. Liquid Roof acts as a shield to protect existing caulks and sealants and extend their life substantially. The useful life of metal roofs, whether galvanized steel, or aluminum can also be extended. Liquid Roof is the best and also the most cost effective product for solving this problem, Liquid Roof does not chalk or shrink. Liquid Roof's one-coat application saves you time and money sealing and protecting the roof while increasing its value! Easily applied over Metal, Rubber, Fiberglass, Concrete, Wood, Fabric and Foam.

Reflecting Pools with Pool Pro 100 ( Chlorinated Rubber Paint) Call for pricing
CHEMICAL RESISTANCE-Excellent resistance to acids, alkalis and chemicals commonly used for pool maintenance. MAINTENANCE-Tile-like surface stays cleaner longer by resisting dirt accumulation, mildew and algae growth. Cracks in concrete should be patched and painted immediately to prevent moisture from building up under the coating. A regular cleaning schedule is recommended to maintain health and beauty of the pool.
PRIMER: For new concrete, Pool Pro 100 Undercoat is recommended; would be to thin the first coat of POOL PRO 100 with Pool Pro Thinner an alternative in ratio of 4 to 1. The second coat should be applied at full strength whenever possible. Can be made non-skid by adding 1 1/2 pounds per gallon of Calcified Alumina pigment.
Surface Preparation:Proper surface preparation is the most important factor in a successful pool paint job.General precautions: Allow at least one week of good dry weather after draining and cleaning pool before starting to repaint. Wait until all dew has evaporated before starting. Paint must be dry before sunset so that moisture condensing on the surface will not lead to the formation of moisture blisters. Temperature is also a very important consideration. Do not paint below 50 degrees F. or above 90 degrees F. This will avoid trapping solvent which causes blistering. Several thin coats are better than one heavy coat.
