Peel & Stick
Finished Application
FluoroGrip® fluoropolymer films combined with a butyl pressure sensitive adhesive provide a flexible chemical and temperature resistant barrier that protects new or existing concrete substrates against chemical attack for a wide range of service applications. FluoroGrip® Mx- Membrane coatings combine the dual advantages of a fluoropolymer film and a 30 mil butyl pressure sensitive adhesive that permanently bonds to concrete substrates with minimal surface preparation.
This coating system maintains a high tensile strength and flexural modulus with elongation up to 300% to allow for movement of the underlying concrete. FluoroGrip® Mx- Membrane provides superior chemical and permeation resistance over traditional paints and conventional coatings such as epoxies, urethanes, and vinyl esters.
Advantages
- Corrosion protection against the most severe chemicals to provide extended service life of the underlying concrete
- Superior chemical, temperature and permeation resistance over traditional paints and conventional coatings
- Top coats and/or aggregate can be applied for traffic areas
- Minimal surface preparation required, easy to install
- Environmentally friendly with no VOC’s for reduced downtime and no cure time
- May be applied over a traditional paint system in areas where extra protection may be required or if the underlying coating has failed
