WATERPROOFING SEALANT OVERVIEW

Lifetime™ Water Sealant has been developed to be used on almost any porous substrates to prevent water penetration and the damage it can cause. Potential uses include but are not limited to:

  • Concrete
  • Masonry
  • Wood
  • Stucco
  • Canvas

EXAMPLE HAZARDS AND SUBSTRATE PROBLEMS THAT ARE MINIMIZED BY LIFETIME™ SEALANTS

GRAFFITIup.gif

Lifetime™ is a very effective anti-graffiti tool as it forms a membrane which paint does not readily adhere to. Graffiti can easily be removed by pressure washing the Lifetime™ prepared surface. Click here to see pictures of an exmple anti-graffiti application.

REDUCES CONCRETE SPALLS, CRACKS, AND DISINTEGRATIONup.gif

Due to moisture getting into concrete and the common use of deicers (salt), concrete reflects its aging process by spalling and cracking. Of course, the first concrete aging sign you may notice is that of nearly black auto oil leaks on concrete driveways. Rain, snow and ice also constantly penetrate concrete which eventually take their toll on concrete's appearance and durability. Lifetime™ reduces or eliminates these issues when used as directed.

LIFETIME™ CAN ALSO SEAL CRACKSup.gif

The liquefied silicone rubber in Lifetime™ cures into a membrane which seals cracks. Lifetime's™ unique penetration and bonding properties make concrete surfaces resistant to spalling, efflorescence, concrete dust and hairline cracking caused by water.

WOOD DETERIORATESup.gif

In many portions of the country and world, UV, water, and highly variable temperatures destroy outside wood products in a matter of a few years. Examples are homeowner's roofs, patio decking, fencing, house siding, spa decking, etc. The average shingle roof needs to be replaced every 12 - 15 years, providing it survives significant hail damage in the meantime. After just one year the shingles lose their symmetry. This is caused by swelling when wet and shrinking as shingles dry. The shape of the shingles quickly changes and they start warping. Present day cost for a modest roof replacement is USD$7,000 to USD$10,000.

Lifetime™ Water Sealant can be used on horizontal, vertical and wear surfaces. In cured form this product has been subjected to accelerated weathering and has shown no breakdown at periods exceeding 100 years.

COMPOSITION AND MATERIALS:up.gif

Lifetime™ Water Sealant is a penetrating, permanent waterproofing treatment prepared by using specified silicone rubber combined with solvents and other proprietary chemicals. The product's penetrating and bonding characteristics allow an effective one coat application.

MAINTENANCE:up.gif

Lifetime™ Water Sealant requires no maintenance. It does not yellow or harden with age.
