1 PROTECTIVE ELASTIC COATING A COMPLETELY NEW, ECOLOGICAL, ELASTIC PROTECTIVE COATING THAT IS NON-TOXIC TO PEOPLE AND THE ENVIRONMENT.

2 THE ELASTIC, SINGLE-COMPONENT ELAPROOF CREATES AN EXTREMELY LONG-LASTING, WATERPROOF PROTECTIVE LAYER FOR ALL KINDS OF BUILDING SURFACES. ELAPROOF H AN EASY-TO-USE ELASTOMER THAT CAN BE SPREAD WITH HAND TOOLS, FOR SMALLER SURFACES AND DOMESTIC USE for moisture insulation and waterproofing for patching up leaks for sealing ducts for patching and bridging holes, cracks etc. for the prevention of rusting and the repair of rust damage for joining different kinds of materials such as wood and concrete ELAPROOF A PROTECTIVE ELASTIC COATING. THIS SAMPLE HAS BEEN SPRAYED ON NEWSPAPER. THE SURFACE IS ELASTIC AND 100% WATERPROOF! IF THE SAMPLE HAS ALREADY BEEN TAKEN, CONTACT SALES@BUILDCARE.FI ELAPROOF S A SPRAYABLE ELASTOMER FOR PROFESSIONAL USE ON LARGE SURFACES for damp and dry surfaces no drying needed can be used on surfaces at any angles dries quickly. A 1 mm layer is touch-dry in a few hours (+20 C) the layer thickness can be chosen freely being breathable, it allows water steam, but not liquids, to penetrate it bridges cracks and yields without cracking, together with the base material ELAPROOF is a Finnish coating innovation tested by VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland Ltd of which there are already long-term usage experiences at different sites. The typical usage purposes of the coating include prevention of weathering, coating and patching of roofs and structures, moisture insulation of plinths and yards, moisture insulation of damp areas, sealing of ducts, concrete sinks, directing the water flows in the ground, joining different kinds of materials to each other and preventing rusting. 1 SINGLE-COMPONENT ElaProof is also suitable for porous, reticulated and fiber-based materials such as expanding clay breeze block, gypsum board, filter fabric or mineral wool.

3 TYPICAL USAGE LOCATIONS FOR ELAPROOF ROOFS With ElaProof treatment, you can get a non-slip protective surface for the roof that retains its sealing capacity easily, quickly and affordably. BALCONIES ElaProof is a quick and costeffective way to restore aging concrete balconies. A patented restoration method. DUCTS AND JOINTS, EXTERIOR STRUCTURES With ElaProof, you can seal ducts and joints easily and reliably. The seal withstands the life of the structures well. EXTERIOR STRUCTURES One of the unique characteristics of ElaProof is that it withstands changes in temperature extremely well. Because of this, it s an excellent waterproofer for exterior objects too, such as the plinths of buildings and different kinds of decking structures. SINKS ElaProof is also well-suited for use under liquid surfaces, such as in sinks. SAWMILL DRYING PLANTS ElaProof has rapidly become a leading protection solution in the chamber and channel drying plants of sawmills, which are made of carbon steel and concrete.

4 THE SINGLE-COMPONENT SOLUTION IS OUTSTANDING IN USE! ElaProof offers the insulator many unparalleled advantages! EASY AND QUICK TO WORK WITH Ready to use at once! No mixing of components Saves time. Makes work easier! Error-proof NO AWKWARD PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT IS NEEDED Handling ElaProof does not require special protective gear ElaProof is safe to transport ELAPROOF DOES WHAT IT PROMISES and it s safe to handle! ElaProof is not hazardous to the health or the environment and there are no special health warnings related to its use. REMAINS READY TO USE IN A CLOSED CONTAINER No restricted working time The single-component material remains as it is in a closed container Left-over ElaProof is immediately ready to use the next time SAFE FOR THE USER No hazardous chemical vapors No constituents that are harmful to the skin THE TOOLS CAN BE REUSED The tools can be washed with water after use They are ready to use again the next time NO NEED TO RUSH Dries quickly, but allows enough time for the work stage to be carried out The hardening of the insulation substance does not dictate the pace of work Normal use is not known or expected to cause ecological harm. ElaProof lasts. On the basis of demanding usage sites and experiments that make use of accelerated aging, the lifespan of a dried ElaProof surface is as much as years. There are various kinds of test and usage experiences of ElaProof since as far back as Use of ElaProof does not require special protective measures. There are no special requirements with regard to ventilation, a respirator is not needed and gloves and/or protective goggles are used in accordance with standard safety practice. ElaProof is stable in normal storage conditions. No dangerous reactions, incompatible materials or hazards in normal conditions are known of.

The cornerstone of the business is the breathable ElaProof waterproofing technology, which is based on a ground-breaking polymer chemistry innovation. The water-dilutable products, developed from REACH-approved raw materials, form an elastic coating when they dry that protects all types of materials. The company was set up in 1990 and is headquartered in Vantaa. The company is completely under Finnish private ownership and the products are also made in Finland.
