Waterproof Decks & Finishes / Elastex 500

I. COMPOSITION

Dex-O-Tex Elastex 500 is a trowel-applied elastomeric surfacing designed primarily for use as a waterproof promenade roofing. The material consists of a unique moisture-cured resin binder into which rubber aggregate is combined at time of application to form a tough, elastic waterproof membrane. A topcoat, available in a range of colors, is then applied. The material is turned up against building walls, parapets, etc., to form an integral waterproof membrane.

Designed primarily as a waterproof promenade surfacing for balconies, sun decks and play roofs, Dex-O-Tex Elastex 500 is also used as a protective covering for renovating cracked concrete sidewalks, parking structures, pool decks, etc. Surfaces over which Dex-O-Tex Elastex 500 may be installed include: plywood, new and existing concrete and metal. Consult Crossfield Products Corp. regarding other surfaces.
