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.
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:
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:

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:
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.
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.

SUBER™ by Kolmer used in renovation of 1913 historic home in Tampa, FL. Selected for weather and thermal insulation as well as our superior GREEN qualities!
"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!!!"
