Elastic membranes with Desmodur®/Desmophen® polyurethane systems – a durable solution for a long life


Polyurethane coatings based on Desmodur® / Desmophen® are a very reliable solutions for elastic membranes as well as for renovation projects. They can be applied as a seamless film and prevent water leakage. Also, they are resistant against fire sparks and heat radiation. More requirements can be looked up in the national and european regulations. Please refer to the European Organisation for Technical Approvals (EOTA)

Polyurethane coatings are applied in a liquid state. They cure to form a permanently elastic weather-resistant membrane. When formulated with Desmodur® and Desmophen® raw materials, these coatings help to preserve the appearance and ensure that the surfaces remain sealed. Above all, their highly elastic character - even at very low temperatures - prevents the ingress of water into the structure. Upstands, built-in windows and drainages remain tightly bound into the waterproofing membrane.

These systems are available as one-component systems for manual application or as fast curing two-component systems for spraying equipment. Typical methods for primer application are brushing, rolling or spraying.
