Frequently Asked Questions

What Is Spray Polyurethane Foam?

Spray polyurethane foam is a plural-component material created by blending isocyanate (A) and polyol (B) with heat and pressure. Chemicals A and B are sprayed in liquid form and react on contact to form a solid, lightweight, and fully adhered roofing membrane.

​

How Fast Can It Be Installed

Compared to most other conventional roofing materials, SPF systems can be installed more quickly and are far less disruptive to building occupants. That’s because spray foam systems are applied directly to roof substrates and don’t typically require the removal of any existing roofing material

​

What is LIQUID RUBBER SEAL ROOF – ROOF WATERPROOFING

The Liquid Rubber SealRoof product line has been designed to be environmentally friendly and provide excellent waterproofing for roof structures. The unique properties of the coating make them effective, easy to apply, and cost-efficient.

 

BENEFITS

  1. Seamless waterproof membrane

  2. Withstands ponding water

  3. Superb adhesion to most substrates

  4. UV protection and Solar Reflectivity

  5. No solvents, VOCs and non-toxic

 

How Does SealRoof Work?

SealRoof products consist of either elastomeric modified bitumen or acrylic emulsions that are combined with polymers that marry traditional waterproofing materials with modern polymer technology to enhance these waterproofing and protection properties.

​

The resulting SealRoof products deliver the following features:

  • Long term UV resistance

  • Seamless and a resilient membrane

  • Low permeation, water, and air (exceptional waterproofing)

  • Salt, acid, and chemical resistivity

  • Excellent adhesion

  • Excellent elongation and recovery, flexibility, and the ability to bridge cracks

  • No VOC’s, non-flammable, low odor

 

Once applied, the SealRoof coatings form a seamless membrane with excellent adhesion that completely seals the roof substrate to prevent water penetration. As with most Liquid Rubber products, they can withstand freeze/thaw cycles that permit efficient and cost-effective shipping during winter months while the season can be extended using Liquid Rubber’s Sub-Zero additive that allows SealRoof products to be applied at -5C

The exceptional adhesion and elasticity properties of the SealRoof bitumen-based products magnify the water resistance and flexibility of the membrane to deliver an ideal roof restoration solution. These products can be used on almost any roof substrate for both flat and sloped roofs.

The acrylic-based Color SealRoof products have outstanding solar reflective properties for better energy savings and desired aesthetics. These products can handle intermittent ponding water.

Liquid Rubber SealRoof solutions provide safe, cost-effective waterproofing and corrosion protection for all roofing structures including:

  • Mod-Bit & Rolled Roofing Membranes

  • Steel Roof Panels

  • Plywood

  • Asbestos Panels

  • Polyurethane Foam

  • Polystyrene Insulation Board

  • EPDM

​

How Is SealRoof Applied?

SealRoof products are cold applied as a liquid at ambient temperatures ranging from -5C to +35C and cure to form a fully adhered, seamless, and flexible membrane. All SealRoof products can be applied to the surface using a sprayer, brush, or roller that will result in a 20 mil to 80 mil dried coating, depending on the application. SealRoof B-200 can be applied to produce an “instant-set” membrane that is ideal for building thickness in one application on any surface.

​

Unlike other conventional waterproofing or protective coatings, the application benefits reduce labor costs and increase worker safety.

 

  • No open flame or hot liquid to apply

  • Non-toxic and flammable solvents

  • No seams to seal or adhesives to apply

 

Liquid Rubber SealRoof products provide long-term waterproofing where temperatures vary from -40C to 80C. In addition to superior waterproofing and corrosion protection, SealRoof products provide contractors flexibility in application, including instant-setting spray applications that can be applied at below-freezing temperatures.

What Is Aluminum/chrome coatings?

Asphalt Based Aluminum

An economical asphalt-based aluminum roof coating formulated for all types of roofs and metal sidings. Ideally suited for rusty metal roofs, aluminum helps stop and prevent rust while keeping the building cooler in summer months thus reducing air conditioning costs. 

 

Aluminum coatings preserve built-up composition and shingled asphalt roofs by reflecting damaging sunlight. This product is self-priming and can be spray applied directly to rusted metal surfaces with excellent results.
