Manufacturers are being challenged to develop a range of products that meet the more stringent demands of today’s built environment. Happily, they seem to be more than up to it, as these companies, exhibiting at Ecobuild, demonstrate
Resins and topcoats
Scott Bader is exhibiting at Ecobuild for the first time this year and is promoting three new CrysticROOF® products: the energy saving CrysticROOF® “eco” coating, which the company says can reduce heat build-up in the roof; the “flexible” wet-on-wet CrysticROOF® system, which offers installers a fire-rated cold-applied liquid system that can be applied immediately under damp, wet conditions to a base coat; and the “standard” fire retardant CrysticROOF® system, which is a specially formulated fire-resistant isophthalic topcoat.
