Metal Roof Sealant • Novagard Solutions

Novagard Solutions introduces Novaflex® Metal Roof Sealant for commercial and residential metal roofing applications. This product offers superior performance and adhesion, and easier use and clean-up than traditional, solvent-based or polyurethane sealants. Novaflex is a specially engineered silicone metal roof sealant that has been shown to offer more outstanding adhesion to Kynar® coated metal, steel and aluminum metal roof substrates than other roofing sealants. It offers better UV resistance, better weatherability, tack free time of less than 15 minutes, total cure in as little as 24 hours, has shrinkage on cure of 1-4 percent, extrudes easily down to 0 degrees Fahrenheit, and is mildew resistant.

Modified Bitumen Adhesive • Chem Link

SBS Mod-bit Adhesive was designed more than a decade ago by Chem Link with both performance and environmental and contractors’ safety in mind. It cures into a highly elastic rubber film to accommodate roof movement. This easy-to-work-with adhesive makes the building contractor’s job easier in humid, damp or cold environments. The proven field performance of this polyether-based technology shows none of the disadvantages of water-based or solvent-based products. No solvents or isocyanates mean no shrinkage, odor or outgassing, no performance issues or haz-mat or health concerns, and no environmental risks or restrictions for occupants of schools, hospitals or contractors. For more information, visit www.chemlink.com.

 

Two-Part Polyurethane Adhesive • Firestone

Firestone Building Products XR Stick™ Adhesive is a two-part polyurethane adhesive that roofing professionals can use over a variety of existing substrates such as insulation, concrete, wood and metal.

With single-side, wet application and easier sheet positioning that requires less labor, it enables virtually wrinkle-free membrane adhesion in less time, every time. Clean-up is quick and easy. With fewer workers required to complete the job, and fewer callbacks later, this fast, clean installation delivers high installed value and frees up crews to get from job to job quickly.
