WHAT IS A LIQUID APPLIED ROOFING/WATERPROOFING MEMBRANE?
Sika offers two liquid-applied roofing/waterproofing membrane systems, Sikalastic RoofPro, and Sikalastic RoofCoat, to meet your project's specific needs. Known as Liquid-Applied Membranes (LAM) are cold-applied polyurea/polyaspartic, single-component polyurethanes, silicones, or acrylics that are monolithic, fully adhered, and can be locally or fully reinforced. Once cured, they form a seamless, watertight, elastomeric membrane that has proven to perform in some of the toughest climates. Sika’s liquid membranes can be used on most substrates such as concrete, metal, wood, mod-bit, TPO, PVC, EPDM, and many others. Liquid membranes conform to complicated details and penetrations with ease and little to no waste. Sikalastic products are the industry-leading liquid-applied solution when above and below-grade waterproofing applications demand the very best.
What are the benefits of a Sikalastic Liquid Applied System?
Moisture-Triggered Chemistry
Sikalastic RoofPro systems with MTC (Moisture-Triggered Chemistry) incorporate a unique technology that allows the material to use atmospheric moisture to trigger the curing process. This means:
- Reliable Application: Systems are capable of curing in a wide range of conditions including extreme temperature ranges and humidity variation.
- Promising Results: Unlike typical polyurethane systems, membranes do not release CO2 during the curing process, which can cause outgassing and bubbling.
