Techothane 550: Unbeatable Performance

In India, Terrace Waterproofing has always been done with very traditional materials. Typically, systems like China Mosaic, Brickbat Coba, App Membrane, etc. 

TECHOTHANE 550 is a two component, isocyanate cured high build polyurethane finish with excellent resistance to UV and atmospheric exposure. The fully cured coating has excellent resistance to splash of mineral and vegetable oils, white spirit, paraffin’s and aliphatic petroleum TECHOTHANE 550 has good adhesion on various surfaces: cementitious, metal, wooden etc. TECHOTHANE 550 has an excellent water and chemical resistance suitable for exterior applications, and non-chalking properties, and very good abrasion resistance. 

Here’s a closer look at its key features:

Superior impermeability: Techothane 550 forms a seamless, membrane that effectively prevents water penetration during high hydrostatic pressure.

Excellent crack-bridging: This waterproofing membrane possesses superior crack-bridging capabilities, accommodating minor structural movements without compromising its integrity.

Outstanding adhesion: Techothane 550 exhibits exceptional adhesion to a variety of substrates, including concrete, masonry, and metal. This ensures long-lasting performance and simplifies the application process.

High durability: Techothane 550 is formulated to withstand harsh weather conditions, including extreme temperatures, UV radiation, and ozone exposure. This ensures a long service life and minimizes the need for future repairs.

Chemical resistance: This waterproofing membrane demonstrates excellent resistance to a wide range of chemicals, making it suitable for use in various environments.

BUdget friendly: Techothane 550 initially cures to form a dry film within 90 mins of application, hence preventing washout of the coating even during showers. This simplifies the application process and reduces labor costs.

Applications for Techothane 550

Techothane 550’s versatility makes it a preferred choice for numerous waterproofing applications, including:

• Terraces
• Balconies & Flower beds
• Podiums
• Basements
• Roofs
• Deck slab
• Bridge deck
• Wind Turbines
• Pipe Lines

Benefits of Choosing Techothane 550

By selecting Techothane 550 for your waterproofing needs, you gain a multitude of advantages:

Enhanced building longevity: Techothane 550’s exceptional protection shields your structures from water damage, extending their lifespan and reducing maintenance costs.

Improved occupant comfort: A properly waterproofed building prevents moisture ingress, leading to a healthier and more comfortable indoor environment.

Reduced energy consumption: By preventing water leaks and ensuring optimal thermal insulation, Techothane 550 can contribute to improved energy efficiency.

The coating exhibits exceptional mechanical, chemical, thermal, UV, and weather resistance properties, ensuring durability in various conditions. It forms uniform, elastic, and seamless joints, offering effective root resistance. Comprised of highly elastomeric aliphatic polyurea, it possesses crack bridging abilities of up to 3 to 4 mm. Its fast-setting nature enables it to withstand showers shortly after application without washing out.
