Product Overview:
Cromar Cromapol White Acrylic Roof Coating has solar benefits and does not absorb so much heat from the sun like darker colours would a fibre-reinforced waterproofing solution formulated for superior protection and heat protection Supplied in a 5kg tin, this high-performance coating delivers instant waterproofing, even in damp conditions, while its bright white finish helps reduce surface temperature and minimise solar heat gain. Ideal for both emergency repairs and planned maintenance of complete roofs, Cromapol White provides a seamless, flexible membrane suitable for a variety of roofing surfaces.

Cromapol is a fibre reinforced liquid acrylic resin dispersed in solvent designed to prevent the ingress of water and is effective on all common roofing surfaces and types.

Due to the high level of fibres in Cromapol the coating will bridge small gaps and require only a one coat application to give instant waterproofing.
