Acrylink G™ Technical Data |
|
Acrylink G™
is a crosslinking acrylic latex elastomeric reflective
roof coating for every type of commercial or industrial roof, flat or pitched,
including metal, polyurethane foam, EPDM, single ply restoration, etc.
Acrylink G™
is designed for the
waterproofing of new or existing substrates, tanks, stucco, concrete, or masonry
walls.
Acrylink G™ attributes include acid rain and broad spectrum chemical
resistance, unsurpassed repetitive elongation, high solids, and industry
leadership in water resistance. It is the only crosslinking acrylic
elastomeric coating on the market. IPC
has been utilizing crosslinking technology since 1981 and
Acrylink G™ is U.L., FM, and Energy Star approved.
Acrylink G™
utilizes crosslinking technology and uniquely custom-engineered resin,
which results in a combination of high tensile strength and elongation previously found only in some urethane coatings, while retaining the superior ultraviolet resistance and ease of application of acrylic coatings. Its low
surfactant polymerization process shortens curing time, minimizing application risks associated with weather.
In addition to high tensile strength and elongation, the cured
Acrylink G™
membrane has excellent resistance to ponding water and harsh chemical environments, including acids
(including acid rain), bases, industrial pollutants, and hydrocarbons, such as petrochemicals and animal fats.
Technologically advanced crosslinking acrylic resin and superior coating formulation combined with competitive pricing set
Acrylink G™
apart from all other roof coatings. With warranted applications over nearly every type of commercial and industrial exterior,
Acrylink G™
is as versatile as it is durable.

The
Crosslinking Difference |
Acrylink G™
is the only crosslinking acrylic elastomeric roof coating on the
market today; but, what is crosslinking
Crosslinking is a chemical
reaction that joins polymer chains together into one
very large molecule.
An acrylic coating is a
latex, or water-based suspension of polymer chains.
When it is applied, the water evaporates out of it,
allowing the polymer chains to uncoil or "coalesce" into
a solid, seamless, waterproof membrane. Other acrylic
coatings stop curing right there. The
Acrylink G™ membrane continues to
cure after coalescence by crosslinking.
"Crosslinking" is the proper
technical term for the additional chemical reaction that
occurs in the
Acrylink G™ membrane.
After the coating has dried, a catalyst causes a strong
chemical bond to form at many points along each polymer
chain, tying them together into one, single, gigantic
molecule.
This not
only makes the
Acrylink G™ roof membrane
stronger and more elastic than other roof coatings, it
dramatically increases its resistance to sunlight,
water, and harsh chemicals.
Acrylink G™
has
technologically advanced crosslinking acrylic resin is
custom-reacted just for IPC.
It's crosslinking that puts
the
Acrylink G™ roofing membrane
truly in a class by itself. |
