SUBER by Kolmer USA

Provide a superior sealing and protective coating for OSB, wall surfaces, concrete and masonry, roofs, traffic-bearing surfaces, pools, pavers, and other similar design elements.


SUBER™ by Kolmer USA 

Seal-Away™ by Kolmer USA

is UV resistant, permits water-vapor transmission while impervious to wind-driven rain, and maintains high elasticity and resistance to cracking, fading and peeling. This unique combination allows for optimal protection of a variety of substrates. Aesthetically, this finish coating system presents a consistent surface appearance, with superior adhesion directly to installation substrates.

Unlike rigid coatings, it is highly resistant to surface cracking due to its characteristic of remaining pliable and expandable after curing has occurred. Due to its ability to permit water-vapor transmission, it resists bubbling, even in extreme weather conditions.

Product Options

Seal Away™ by Kolmer USA is offered in clear membrane or a range of color choices, eliminating the need for field painting, thus reducing application labor expense. Seal Away is available in three application formulations:

Sustainable

Seal Away™ by Kolmer USA contributes to suitable design projects. This green product has a low VOC content and is completely free of formaldehyde and similar potential toxins. Seal Away thus qualifies for LEED credits. LEED ® 2009 for New Construction and Major Renovations points are potentially achievable for the following credits:

Testing conducted by PRI, accredited by the International Accreditation Service (IAS), a subsidiary of the International Code Council (ICC) as an ISO 17025 testing laboratory; by the Miami-Dade County Building Code Compliance Office as a testing laboratory; by the State of Florida Department of Community Affairs as a Product Testing Laboratory; and by the Cool Roof Rating Council as an Accredited Independent Testing Laboratory.

Seal Away™ by Kolmer USA requires minimal surface preparation for most clean and stable substrates. Seal Away primer is only necessary on highly porous or chalky substrates.

Common applications include:

  • Wall sheathing over wood or metal framing.
  • Concrete, stone, and masonry (bricks).
  • Tilt-up concrete panels.
  • Terraces and balconies.
  • Traffic-bearing surfaces (driveways, garages).
  • Decking, tiles, and pavers.
  • Pool liners.
  • Seal coat for SUBER™.

Seal Away™ by Kolmer USA can be applied by brush, roller, or sprayer.



The installed coating system thickness is approximately 3-30 mils, depending on application, and can be applied on both vertical and horizontal substrates.

Initial coat drying time is approximately 1-2 hours; subsequent coats approximately 4-6 hours. Functional drying occurs in 24 hours to 72 hours depending on substrate and application purpose. Full performance cure may take up to 14 days.

Note:

  • Allow initial coat to fully dry prior to additional application.
  • When applying the clear Seal Away, take care to keep coats thin enough to allow for clear drying.
  • Insure substrate should be dry, stable, and free from dirt.
  • Application temperature should be between 44° and 86° F. Storage should be between 38° and 90° F.

Manufacturer will provide a standard 2-10 year material warranty (dependent upon application), when applied according to manufacturer installation guidelines by a certified applicator. See manufacturer warranty for complete details.

Testimonial

"Adhesion tests were attempted, but the nature of the Suber disallowed any adherence...my reaction is "FANTASTIC" - nothing wants to attach itself to this film, which indicates its unique natural resistance properties to the elements!!!"
