Insulation for demanding premises

DECOTHANE sp

An aliphatic single element polyurethane membrane for all types of surfaces

Development

DECOTHANE was developed for the application in variable atmospheric conditions. DECOTHANE also hardens under water and at low temperatures.

New technology

DECOTHANE represents a progressive concept which is unique in relation to the common production of polyurethane products. DECOTHANE is immediately resistant after the application to rain and water. The process of hardening also occurs during rain or when under water. On most surfaces it is not necessary to apply a basic coat.
The production of DECOTHAN is performed in a new type of reactor in which polyurethane resin does not produce foam under the influence of moisture. Most aromatic polyurethane products in a strong layer reacts during contact with moisture and water by the production of gases and “holes”.

Use

DECOTHANE can be used in most climatic conditions provided that the base material is dry. It is applied in a strong layer.
The exposed walking areas require two coats.

Penetration of water stream

DECOTHANE creates a membrane during hardening which is in accordance with the contours of the base layer. DECOTHANE has an excellent structure for the various influences of weather and the penetration of water steam. DECOTHANE enables water steam to penetrate through the outside layer without breaking the adherence or creating bladders, which are typical for asphalt or bituminous products.

Constant elasticity

All roof constructions or surfaces behave either according to thermal changes or according to the structure. DECOTHANE is constantly elastic under all climatic conditions and adapts to changes of the base layer. This property prevents the creation of cracks which is usual in traditional, non-elastic ceiling covers.

Resistance to shock

DECOTHANE is one of the most reliable forms of protection of roofs and surfaces against frost. DECOTHANE is not influenced and does not lose its properties by the influence of intensive solar radiation, UV radiation or ageing.
White DECOTHANE serves as excellent solar reflect protection and, at the same time, it protects the base layer against the penetration of heat.

Resistance to chemicals, acids and oil products

These tests were performed by sediments under permanent dipping, in practice only one side is affected. Take this fact into consideration when investigating the test data.
