Soft nano for roofing repair
Euro Polymers (GB) Ltd is a leading provider of polymer coatings used in waterproofing, primarily for building protection. For the last three years they have been working with scientists at the Sheffield Polymer Centre, looking to improve their existing products with new formulations based on the exploitation of soft nanotechnology. The new Eurotec polymer system developed as a consequence of this collaboration, is able to penetrate the surface of bitumen or asphalt substrates, then self-assemble into interlocking structures like nanometre-scale Velcro. This gives much better adhesion as the products bond at a molecular level.This gives a significant advantage over the market leading systems, which simply sit on top of the structure. Eurotec becomes one with substrate, giving almost 5 fold stronger bond to prevent wind uplift.
A further advantage is that the new material formulation makes extensive use of recycled materials, giving the new product strong green credentials.
