As a roofing contractor, ensuring the longevity, reliability, and ease of installation in your projects is paramount. That’s where the new Polyflash Sealants line from Polyglass steps in. Designed specifically for the challenging environments of roofing and waterproofing, Polyflash Sealants offers a versatile, high-performance solution for contractors looking for durability, superior adhesion, and environmental safety.
Why Should Roofing Contractors Choose Polyflash Sealants?
1. Easy Application Across a Variety of Substrates
One of the greatest challenges in roofing projects is finding a waterproofing sealant that adheres well to a variety of materials without requiring primers. Polyflash products solve this issue by bonding effortlessly to a broad range of roofing materials, including metal, concrete, wood, modified bitumen, EPDM, PVC, aged TPO, roof tiles, and even more sensitive surfaces like glass. This versatility eliminates the need for multiple products and reduces time spent on site—saving you both time and labor costs.
2. Superior Performance in Extreme Conditions
Roofing contractors often work in unpredictable environments, which means your sealants must hold up under all weather conditions. The Polyflash line is built to withstand extreme temperature ranges (-40°F to 200°F) and is resistant to UV rays, weathering, ponding water, and even ice. These high-performance sealants ensure that your roofing projects are safeguarded from premature failure or leaks, offering peace of mind and fewer callbacks.
3. Health and Environmental Benefits
Contractors today are more conscious than ever about the environmental and health impacts of the products they use. Outside of the Polyflash SEBS, all other Polyflash Sealants are solvent-free, isocyanate-free, non-toxic, and emit ultra-low VOCs. Their low odor and non-flammable characteristics make them safer to handle, improving working conditions and meeting increasingly stringent environmental regulations. Contractors can trust that they are using products that are safe for both the installer and the building occupants.
4. Fast and Efficient Installation
Time is money in any roofing project, and speed is critical. Polyflash products offer fast skin-over times, even in damp or cold weather conditions, allowing contractors to work year-round without delays. Products like Polyflash HPS and Polyflash 1PS are quick-setting, ensuring minimal downtime and fast project completion. Their durability reduces the risk of redoing joints or dealing with future repairs, making them an incredibly efficient option for roofing professionals.
5. Long-Term Elasticity and Joint Movement Capability
Movement and expansion in roofing joints are inevitable, and using a sealant that can’t adapt to these changes can lead to cracking and failure. Polyflash Sealants maintain permanent elasticity, ensuring flexibility and preventing issues in high-movement areas like control joints and flashings. With 35% joint movement capability, Polyflash Sealants ensures your work lasts the test of time, even under the strain of temperature fluctuations and structural shifts.
