How Silicone Coating Precision-Seal Roofs: Mastering Waterproofing
Blog Article
Silicone roof coatings are excellent in restricting moisture on different substrates like concrete, metal, modified bitumen, or single-ply. These coverings do not deform, degrade, or rupture from extended exposure to direct sunlight, reducing the energy costs and interior temperatures significantly. Silicone coatings are solvent-free and contain low VOCs.
Properties of Silicone Coatings
- Versatile
- Low Toxicity
- Water-resistant
- UV-resistant
- Resistant to temperature fluctuations
- Flexible
Chemicals & Silicone – A Strong Combination for Roof Coatings
There are several raw materials, that, when combined with silicone, render a tough waterproof barrier for roofs, balconies, and basements. Let’s discuss!
Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS): It is an organic material (silicone elastomer) that offers foam control, abrasion resistance, water resistance, and anti-slip properties. It comes in different molecular weights (low to high) to be used for different purposes.
Low molecular weight product: Used to develop thin coatings
High molecular weight product: Used to develop sealants
Silanes: Hydrophobic properties, chemical and abrasion resistance, and thermal stability are some properties of silanes. They are used as adhesives for coatings.
