Incozol grades suitable for Waterproofing

Product	Features	Benefits
Incozol EH	Moisture Triggered Chemistry - atmospheric moisture triggers the curing process	Waterproof membranes are capable of curing in a wide range of conditions including extreme temperature ranges and humidity variations. Unlike traditional polyurethane systems they do not release CO₂, which often causes gassing and application is not delayed by adverse weather conditions.
	Multifunctional (f=4)	Faster through-cure leading to increased tensile strength and tougher, more durable films.
	Low temperature crystallisation stability (down to -20°C)	Ease of handling & storage. Reduced energy costs (no heating required).
	Catalyst Free	Improved stability with both aliphatic & aromatic PU systems.
	Reduced Odour	More user friendly for applicator.
Incozol 4	Moisture Triggered Chemistry - atmospheric moisture triggers the curing process	Waterproof membranes are capable of curing in a wide range of conditions including extreme temperature ranges and humidity variations. Unlike traditional polyurethane systems they do not release CO₂, which often causes gassing and application is not delayed by adverse weather conditions.
	Multifunctional (f=4)	Faster through-cure leading to increased tensile strength and tougher, more durable films.
	Low Equivalent Weight	Reduced usage in formulation.
