Use Everflex HVUV for: Waterproofing roofs, balconies, wet areas, and surfaces exposed to UV, ensuring a durable, flexible, and long-lasting barrier.
Everflex HVUV is a premium-grade, single-component, self-reinforced elastomeric waterproof membrane engineered for applications exposed to UV radiation. This Class 3 membrane, compliant with AS 4858:2004 and AS 4654.1, forms a seamless, fully bonded, and highly flexible barrier that withstands maintenance foot traffic and prevents water re-emulsification. Ideal for a variety of substrates, Everflex WPUV/HVUV offers superior protection for roofs, balconies, wet areas, and more, ensuring long-term performance and durability.
Key Features of Everflex HVUV
-
High UV Resistance: Specifically formulated for UV exposed applications, ensuring long-term durability and protection against weathering. For instance, on exposed roofs, it maintains its integrity and flexibility, preventing cracking and degradation.
-
Class 3 Waterproofing: Provides a high-performance waterproof barrier, meeting stringent Australian standards for both internal and external use. In wet areas, it ensures complete protection, preventing water damage to underlying structures.
-
Excellent Flexibility: Maintains flexibility even under varying temperatures, accommodating substrate movement without cracking. This is crucial for balconies and terraces where thermal expansion and contraction occur.
-
Micro Fibre Reinforced: Enhances the membrane's strength and durability, making it suitable for areas with maintenance foot traffic. This reinforcement ensures longevity and reduces the risk of punctures or tears.
-
Easy Application and Clean-up: Single-component and water-based, allowing for straightforward application and clean-up with water. This simplifies the application process for tradespeople, saving time and effort.
Technical Overview
Everflex HVUV is designed to create a seamless, elastomeric barrier that effectively prevents water ingress. Its formulation includes microfibres that enhance its tensile strength and flexibility. The membrane’s ability to cure into a tough, durable film makes it suitable for various substrates and applications. The product is also formulated to have a low VOC content, meeting Green Star environmental criteria, which is beneficial for both indoor and outdoor applications.
Chemical Properties: Alkyl Acrylate-Styrene Copolymer, Polyurethane emulsion, Talc. These components provide the membrane with its elastomeric properties, UV resistance, and durability.
Application Temperature Range: Apply between 10°C to 35°C (50°F to 95°F). Applying within this range ensures proper curing and adhesion. Avoid application in extreme temperatures or when rain is imminent to prevent compromised performance.
Application Information
-
Required Tools: Brush, roller, film thickness gauge, Hi-Flex MS sealant, polyester reinforcing fabric (if needed).
-
Trade-Specific Tips: Ensure proper surface preparation, including priming, to achieve optimal adhesion. Apply two coats at right angles to each other, verifying wet film thickness with a gauge. For corners and joints, use Hi-Flex MS sealant or Adheseal Elastoband for a robust seal.
-
Common Issues and Solutions: If delamination occurs, ensure proper surface preparation and priming. For uneven curing, verify application thickness and environmental conditions.
Storage and Shelf Life
-
Storage Requirements: Store in a cool, dry place between 10°C and 35°C (50°F and 95°F).
-
