TUFFLEX Solvent Free “TUFF” is a liquid applied Water Catalyzed Urethane (WCU) elastomeric membrane that is used in many of the TUFFLEX High Performance Coating Systems.

Composition: Liquid applied, two-component, flexible, extremely low  odor, hybrid polyurea elastomeric coating.

Basic Uses: When properly applied, this material will provide a seamless and flexible membrane that protects against water damage. It is commonly used in the TUFFLEX Specifications for protecting concrete and plywood pedestrian walking decks—including hard usage ski resort sun decks, vehicle parking decks, mechanical equipment room waterproofing and as a under tile waterproofing membrane. (For use on plywood decking systems it is also recommended that you refer to the TUFFLEX Solvent Free “SOFT” Technical bulletin for further information.) It is also used to provide seamless and cushioned membranes and mats over porous concrete in veterinary and locker room areas.  This material is also widely used to provide seamless and flexible waterproofing and rustproofing decking systems on ships. TUFFLEX Solvent Free Systems allow for ease of application in interior areas aw well as exterior areas. Refer to the TUFFLEX Specifications for further information and ideas.
