Decothane Flat Roofing Systems
One of the main challenges facing the use of solvent based liquid applied waterproofing, in various refurbishment situations, still relates to the odour emitted during and for a period after application, which is a result of the product’s drying and curing processes. This posed a significant product development challenge, to achieve a successful outcome without compromising other aspects, such as how the products handle on site or what reinforcement can be used.
Through careful engineering and true innovation, Sika have developed low odour systems using patented technology to enable use on highly sensitive sites, such as hospitals, food manufacturing plants and schools.
