Cutting-edge technology for waterproofing solutions of the future.
A waterproofing solution that respects the environment, cares about the future of our planet and focuses on ecosustainability. These concepts formed the basis of how Polyglass Spa – one of the Group’s subsidiary companies – approached MADE expo 2017.
At the Milan exhibition, Polyglass presented waterproof systems aimed at improving the insulation coefficient and energy efficiency of building envelope: solutions with high solar reflectance and systems for green roofs, pitched roofs, wooden structures and for roofs refurbishment.
There were also the more traditional solutions for reservoirs (artificial reservoirs and aqueducts), waterproofing roads, bridges and viaducts, driveable roofs, foundations and terraces and balconies.
Numerous products were highlighted at Made expo 2017 and, amongst these, let’s remember POLYSINT SUN REFLECT, a white-coloured, fibre-filled liquid membrane in water emulsion made from special synthetic resins with high solar reflectance (83%), high thermal emissivity (91%) and a solar reflectance index (SRI) of 105 for concrete and polymermodified distilled bitumen membranes. This product creates a barrier with high reflectance to UV rays which lowers the service temperature through the whole section of the system, thereby protecting the entire insulating package and guaranteeing the highest energy savings.
The MAPEPLAN line of synthetic membranes was also under the spotlight. These included MAPEPLAN T M SMART WHITE, which reduces the surface temperature of roofs by more than 50% compared with a dark coloured roof, and MAPEPLAN TB, a waterproof synthetic membrane made from TPO/FPO flexible polyolefin, which is highly resistant to UV rays and aggressive atmospheric agents and is designed for dry-applied systems with extra ballast, such as hanging garden roofs.
We would also like to mention that the MAPEPLAN line of synthetic membranes has also certified the Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) – according to ISO 14025 and EN 15804 standards – as proof of their commitment to the use of transparent, honest communication.
