Most coatings, including most waterproofing coatings, should be applied ONLY to absolutely DRY surfaces. However, you usually learn that you need a waterproofing coating only
when it is raining, and you can't wait for the weather to clear and the surface to dry in order to apply a waterproofing coating.
SOMAY can provide a SOLUTION since SOMAY has several
unique coatings and water leak stopping materials which CAN BE APPLIED to DAMP, WET and even UNDERWATER surfaces.
- SOMAY Product No. 874, "LEAKY ROOF SEALER"
(Color: Variable Gray), a single component, ready-to-use, solvent-thinned, modified acrylic resin formulation that is used like a heavy-duty, industrial strength, semi-viscous caulk to seal roof cracks or holes that are leaking. This thick viscosity product is especially practical because it can be applied even in rainy or freezing weather when you can most easily determine if you have plugged the holes in the leaking roof, since it can stop leaks immediately, even before it has had an opportunity to cure. This product should be top coated after it has had a chance to dry. At SOMAY's Factory-Direct, Wholesale, Cash & Carry Price of $13.99/gal. in 5's, this costs $0.023/sq.ft./mil dry film thickness, or $0.235/sq.ft. @ 10 mils DFT, and $0.47/sq.ft. @ 20 mils DFT, & $0.70/sq.ft. @ 30 mils DFT, etc. Mineral Spirits clean up. Normal Dry Time: 24 hours.
- SOMAY/Andek "RUBBERKOTE 1047"
(Color: Light Gray), a single component, acrylic polymeric, solvent-thinned coating especially engineered as a waterproofing coating for flat roof surfaces which have ponding water following a rainstorm where the use of other coatings will not perform satisfactorily. Can be applied to damp and wet roof surfaces where curing will occur even underwater, regardless of the thickness applied. Adheres to all common roofing materials including asphalt, coal tar, BUR, zinc, tin, steel, aluminum, modified bitumen, etc. Apply at 30 sq.ft./gal. to develop 30 mils DFT. At SOMAY's Factory-Direct, Wholesale, Cash & Carry Price of $42.85/gal. (in a 3.5 gal. container) = $0.047/sq.ft./mil DFT or $1.41 per sq.ft. at 30 mils DFT. Clean Up: Mineral Spirits. Dry Time: 60 Hours.
- SOMAY/Underwater Technologies® "HYCOTE" 151
(Color: Black), a 2-component, polyamine-cured epoxy, 100% solids, no VOC's, self-priming on steel, concrete, wood, etc. Apply at practical coverage rate of 120 sq.ft./gal. to develop a 10 mil DFT; 60 sq.ft./gal. to develop a 20 mil DFT. At SOMAY's Factory-Direct, Wholesale, Cash & Carry Price of $134.99/gal. Kit (both Part A and Part B) costs $0.084/sq.ft./mil dry film thickness, or $.84/sq.ft. at 10 mils; $1.68/sq.ft. at 20 mils DFT. Clean up with MEK, acetone or other organic solvent. Dry To Touch: 4 hours; 95% cure 39 Hours @ 77° F. Pot Life (Working time to apply): 1 gal. mix: 30 min. @ 77° F., less at higher temperatures.
- SOMAY/Carboline A-788 Splash Zone Mastic Compound
(Color: Olive Green). 2-component epoxy-polyamide mastic; 1:1 ratio. 100% solids. Can be applied underwater and
will cure underwater or in air. Adheres to wet or dry surfaces, including aluminum, galvanized or bare steel, fiberglass, wood, concrete, etc. Recommended minimum thickness is 125 mils
(1/8"), but can be applied as grout 2" or thicker. Maximum coverage is 13 sq.ft./gal. At SOMAY's Factory-Direct, Wholesale, Cash & Carry Price of $119.98/2-gal. Kit (both Part A & Part
B) (= $59.99/gal.), this costs $0.037/sq.ft./gal @ 1 mil DFT, or $4.61/sq.ft. at 125 mils DFT. Clean-up: MEK or Butyl Cellosolve. Dry to Handle: 8 hours @ 75° F. Pot Life (Working
time to apply): ½ gal. mix: 15 min @ 70° F., less at higher temperatures.
Note: All of SOMAY's Waterproofing Materials are engineered to provide permanent solutions to water leak problems. Furthermore, they are NOT messy and smelly to work with like tar,
asphalt or "bull", which soon dry out, shrink, crack, alligator and fail to prevent the leak from happening again.
