Product Overview: QUICSEAL 103 ACRYLFLEX – Water-Based Acrylic Waterproof Membrane

Description:

QUICSEAL 103 ACRYLFLEX is a single-component, ready-to-use, water-based liquid applied acrylic waterproof membrane. It is formulated with a special blend of polymers, fillers, and additives, providing excellent UV resistance and long-term waterproofing protection. Upon curing, QUICSEAL 103 forms a tough, seamless, elastomeric waterproofing membrane with outstanding adhesion to various substrates.

Uses:

Waterproofing of concrete, metal, wood, or clay-tiled roofs.
Application on pitched and reinforced concrete flat roofs with sufficient gradient for easy runoff.
Concealing hairline cracks and shrinkage cracks less than 0.3 mm in width.
External wall waterproofing for seepage repair.
Protection of concrete against deterioration from UV rays.
Suitable for expansion joints in conjunction with QUICSEAL 209.

Advantages:

Single component, ready-to-use.
Applicable by brush, roller, or spray.
Elastomeric, exhibiting excellent recovery characteristics.
Forms a seamless membrane.
Capable of bridging cracks.
Suitable for exposed applications.
Can be painted over with good-quality acrylic paint.
Good hiding power – opaque.
