PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
ELASTRON is a two component, 1:1 ratio, polymerized butyl rubber coating. It is extremely resistant to the passage of mass water or gas vapor due to its unique, low molecular chemical structure. ELASTRON cures by chemical reaction to form a highly impermeable, elastomeric membrane that also offers excellent chemical resistance. ELASTRON is a pot life system designed for application through standard airless spray equipment or by brush or roller.

BASIC USES
ELASTRON was developed primarily for application as a vapor barrier over polyurethane foam, concrete and masonry, wood and metal. The outstanding properties of the coating have created successful applications throughout the world over roofs, in high humidity areas, controlled atmosphere rooms, dry kilns, cold storage areas, over insulated pipelines and cryogenic storage tanks — wherever an effective vapor barrier is required. ELASTRON possesses an exceptionally low perm rating, and far more effective than conventional vapor barrier products. It will break down, however, upon extended UV exposure and should therefore be topcoated with an approved topcoat. UNITED’S Diathon, Acron, Roof Mate, Roofshield, Acrycryl Topcoat or Elastuff 102 can all be utilized to provide a barrier to ultraviolet degradation and resistance to all forms of weather.

COLORS
ELASTRON is available in standard Black color only. For exterior applications or for interior applications requiring a particular color, ELASTRON may be coated with an approved topcoat. Topcoats come in standard White color, however, can be tinted to match virtually any custom color desired.
