SUPER HYDROPHOBIC

Super hydrophobic surfaces repel water, causing water droplets to form with the ability to slide away from the surface readily, making it extremely difficult to wet material surfaces such as roof tiles.

ProPERLA Water Repellent creates a super hydrophobic surface which prevents moisture penetrating the substrate, keeping the exterior material dry.

FULLY BREATHABLE

Waterproofing treatments that ‘seal’ a surface, also known as roof tile sealer’s, create a waterproof film surrounding each roof tile. If building materials are exposed to just 5% content of damp, it can lower the thermal resistance by up to 50%.

A breathable roof is very important as it will improve the insulation properties of a building. If a roof tile cannot breathe, moisture will build up underneath the surface, leading to irreparable damage.

ProPERLA effectively allows air and moisture to escape and breathe out of any building or property. The product also has Water Repellent benefits from an SD breathability rating of 0.03 (a coating is considered to be breathable if it has an SD value of 0.50).

Keep The Property Clean & Attractive

ProPERLA Water Repellents superior technology repels water and dirt to give a super hydrophobic effect, making roof tiles self-cleaning.

  • Dirt particles are unable to maintain a hold on treated surfaces and will simply flow off with rainfall.
  • Prevents discolouration and salt efflorescence
  • Discourages the growth of algae, lichens or moss 
  • Slows the ageing or breakdown of the building or its roof tiles
  • Unaffected by UV rays

Tiles remain clean and attractive, even when exposed to extreme weather conditions including shade, high air humidity or sea salt penetrated air.
