Isoflex Professional Liquid Rubber – Black 2.1 Litre

The Isoflex Professional Liquid Rubber is a premium, high‑performance waterproofing solution designed for both residential and commercial applications. Packaged in a convenient 2.1‑litre bottle, this product delivers exceptional adhesion, flexibility, and durability across a wide range of substrates.

Key Features & Benefits

• Superior Waterproofing: The liquid rubber forms an invisible, seamless barrier that resists water penetration even under harsh weather conditions.
• High Flexibility: It expands and contracts with the substrate, preventing cracks and fissures in concrete, brick, timber, and metal surfaces.
• Excellent Adhesion: Bonding strength is maintained on both new and existing substrates, making it ideal for repairs and overlays.
• UV Resistance: The formulation includes UV stabilisers that protect the coating from sun damage, preserving colour and integrity over time.
• Low VOC & Environmentally Friendly: Emits minimal volatile organic compounds, ensuring a safer working environment.
• Easy Application: Can be applied with a brush, roller or spray system; dries quickly to a smooth finish.

Ideal Applications

The versatility of Isoflex Liquid Rubber makes it suitable for numerous projects:

• Roofing & Flat Roofs: Provides a robust waterproof layer on flat or low‑sloped roofs, preventing leaks and extending roof life.
• Waterproofing Walls: Ideal for exterior walls, balconies, terraces, and garden walls that require protection against moisture ingress.
• Concrete & Brick Repairs: Seamlessly fills cracks and joints in concrete or brickwork, restoring structural integrity.
• Marine & Coastal Structures: With its high resistance to saltwater and marine environments, it protects decks, piers, and other waterfront installations.
• Industrial Facilities: Suitable for warehouses, factories, and storage areas where moisture control is critical.

Preparation & Surface Requirements

For optimal performance, surfaces should be clean, dry, and free from loose material. Prior to application:

1. Remove any existing coatings that are peeling or flaking.
2. Clean the area with a mild detergent solution if necessary; rinse thoroughly.
3. Allow the surface to dry completely before applying the liquid rubber.

Application Process

The application procedure is straightforward and can be completed by skilled DIYers or professionals alike:

1. Mixing: Shake the bottle well before use. If a larger area requires coverage, multiple bottles may be blended in a mixing container to maintain consistency.
2. Priming (Optional): For highly porous substrates, applying a compatible primer can enhance adhesion.
3. Coating: Apply the liquid rubber using a brush, roller, or spray gun. Work in manageable sections to ensure even coverage.
4. Thickness: Aim for a uniform film thickness of 1–2 mm; multiple coats may be applied if additional protection is desired.
5. Curing: Allow the coating to cure undisturbed for at least 24 hours. Full curing time depends on ambient temperature and humidity but typically ranges from 48 to 72 hours.

Maintenance & Longevity

Once cured, Isoflex Liquid Rubber requires minimal upkeep:

• Inspect annually for signs of wear or damage, especially after severe weather events.
• Clean with mild soap and water; avoid harsh chemicals that could degrade the coating.
• If cracks appear, they can be repaired by applying a fresh coat over the affected area.

The product’s robust formulation ensures a lifespan of 10–15 years under normal conditions, providing long‑term protection without frequent reapplication.

Compatibility & Limitations

• Compatible with most common building materials: concrete, brick, timber, metal, and certain plastics.
• Avoid application on surfaces that are still curing or have high moisture content at the time of coating.
• Not recommended for use in extreme temperatures below 0 °C during application; ensure ambient conditions are within the manufacturer’s specified range.

Environmental Impact & Safety

The low VOC nature of Isoflex Liquid Rubber reduces environmental impact and improves indoor air quality. Nonetheless, users should wear protective gloves and eye protection during handling to avoid skin irritation or accidental contact with eyes.
