CERALASTIC

Elastomeric waterproof coating

An ISO 9001:2008 Company


CERALASTIC is a hydrate-type flexible waterproofing material based on special synthetic resin
dispersion and a blend of selected cements mixed with well-graded aggregates and high performance
acrylic co-polymers.

ADVANTAGES:

• Excellent resistance to water


• Excellent adhesion to porous and non porous surface concrete /masonry etc
• Resistance to freezing and thawing
• Protects the concrete from water, carbonation and de-ionizing salts
• Resistant to abrasion
• Considerably flexibility and elongation can accommodate linear thermal expansion of
surface
• Non toxic, suitable for potable water applications
• Enhances bridging effect against post construction hairline cracks
• Ideal water proofing system for new building as well as repair of old structures
Ceralastic can be used to waterproof
FUNCTION: tanks, containers and water reservoirs,
basements, bathrooms, roofs etc.
