Liquid applied products ( SIPLAST)
As exposed structural elements, balconies, terraces, and walkways require protection from weathering, water ingress, and environmental damage to ensure long-term durability. Since these areas are highly visible, they have aesthetic requirements that must be considered in addition to performance requirements.
The Terapro Waterproofing and Surfacing System was developed for these applications. Terapro is a liquid-applied, layered application consisting of one coat of primer, one or more waterproofing layers, a wearing layer, a hard-wearing surfacing, and a pigmented or clear finish layer. Reinforced systems for use over occupied interior spaces include a polyester fleece fabric for additional protection. Each of the liquid-applied layers is comprised of a specially formulated, solvent and VOC-free, catalyzed polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) resin. The completed high mil thickness Terapro application is resilient, monolithic, seamless, durable, and resistant to UV, foot traffic, mechanical abuse, and many environmental contaminents. The PMMA resins formulated for use in the Terapro System are efficient and safe to apply. Waterproofing applications benefit from the numerous advantages PMMA resins hold over other liquid-applied waterproofing systems. But perhaps the most dramatic advantage PMMA offers over other liquid-applied, layered systems comes simply from the nature of PMMA - application speed. A Terapro System can be applied and trafficked within an 8-hour day. By comparison, polyurethane and polyester liquid-applied systems require a cure time of up to three days before they can withstand traffic without sustaining damage.
