BRAMPTON — Roofing and waterproofing products maker, IKO has introduced Metatech to the Canadian market.
It is a two-component, liquid waterproofing system made with polymethyl methacrylate technology deemed suitable for challenging roof installations and repairs in tight areas on low-slope roofs.
“We are excited about the new opportunities this innovative product will create for the industry today and into the future. With its inherent flexibility and fast cure times, Metatech PMMA will have a use on nearly all low-slope roofing projects when used alongside existing IKO systems,” said Adam Gotfraind, Canadian commercial product manager, in a statement.
The company claims to offer a fast-drying and seamless membrane solution for Canadian contractors through its latest product. Metatech is also UV-resistant, and users can apply it with a brush of roller. Users should be aware that the application requires that there be no open flames on the roof. The company says that within these proper conditions, the installation of Metatech should not require more than a couple of hours.
“Bringing this technology from our manufacturing operations in Belgium all the way to Canada reflects a great working relationship with our European operations and demonstrates how IKO leverages our global expertise,” added Gotfraind.
