Sika, the worldwide market leader in thermoplastic roofing and waterproofing membranes, announced the launch of the Sikaplan® Adhered System, a cost-effective PVC roofing membrane system designed for low-slope roofing applications that call for both quality and cost-efficiency.

Canton, MA (PRWEB) - Sika, the worldwide market leader in thermoplastic roofing and waterproofing membranes, announced the launch of the Sikaplan® Adhered System, a cost-effective PVC roofing membrane system designed for low-slope roofing applications that call for both quality and cost-efficiency.

The new systems membrane, Sikaplan Adhered, uses a fiberglass mat reinforcement for the best dimensional stability, watertight performance and high wind uplift resistance in an adhered roofing system. Sikaplan Fastened, launched in 2007 for low-slope and steep slope applications, has an internal polyester scrim reinforcement for the best tear resistance and watertight performance on mechanically attached roof systems.

“Sikaplan Systems provide building owners with a PVC performance solution with budget benefits and a product that has a successful track record of more than 30 years on buildings throughout the world,” said Jay W. Thomas, Vice President, Marketing, Roofing & Flooring, Sika Corporation.

The Sikaplan Adhered System utilizes the Sikaplan Adhered membrane and Sikaplan Water-Based Adhesive, a low VOC, water-based adhesive. The one-step adhesive is applied only to the roofing substrate and the PVC membrane is immediately laid in. Using a roller or spray equipment to apply Sikaplan Water-Based Adhesive, rather than a notched squeegee, can extend coverage rates and provide significant material cost savings without impacting contractor productivity or product effectiveness.

Sikaplan Systems are ideally suited for applications that call for a quality, cost-efficient roofing membrane system from a trusted supplier. When used with Sikaplan Water-Based Adhesive, Sikaplan Adhered can deliver PVC performance at a TPO price.
