The Problem

The roof of this building of a worldwide supplier of automotive and building control systems, has two 177ft. long box gutters. The client required a long-term high performance protection system, which would waterproof and weatherproof the gutters.

The Substrate

Metal

The Solution

The reinforced Resimac ResiChem 550 WR Membrane system was recommended for this application based on the fact that it is totally unaffected by ponding water or permanent immersion conditions. The surface of the box gutters was prepared in accordance with the ResiChem 550 WR Membrane system recommendation ensuring the substrate was clean, dry and free from contamination. It was then primed with Resimac ResiChem 506 AluPrime prior to the application of the ResiChem 550 WR Membrane system. This comprised one coat of Resimac ResiChem 550 WR Membrane into which the Resimac Chop Strand Mat was embedded, followed by a second coat of Resimac ResiChem 550 WR Membrane.
