PRODUCT OVERVIEW

MAPEI Aquaflex Roof Plus is a ready-to-use, high-elasticity, quick-drying liquid waterproofing membrane designed for continuous protection on exposed external surfaces. Engineered to withstand the unique challenges of Kenya’s climate—ranging from intense UV radiation to heavy seasonal rains—this fiber-filled membrane provides a seamless, long-lasting barrier for flat, curved, and complex roof structures.

Formulated as a water-based synthetic resin, Aquaflex Roof Plus transforms into a flexible, tough film that bridges existing substrate cracks and moves with the building’s thermal cycles. It is particularly effective for both new roof installations and the restoration of old, leaking surfaces, including existing bitumen membranes.

At Startcore Ventures Limited, we are committed to building strength and delivering excellence by supplying only authentic, high-performance construction chemicals. Buy the MAPEI Aquaflex Roof Plus (20 kg) today for KES 26,500 Inclusive of VAT and ensure your rooftop remains watertight for years to come.

KEY FEATURES & BENEFITS

• Superior Elasticity: Significantly more elastic than traditional acrylic membranes, allowing it to bridge cracks and resist structural movement.
• Ready-to-Use & Easy Application: No mixing required; it can be applied directly from the drum using a roller, brush, or airless spray.
• UV & Atmospheric Resistance: Highly resistant to harsh sunlight and atmospheric agents, maintaining its integrity and color over long-term exposure.
• High Solar Reflectance: In its highly reflective white version, it helps reduce the surface temperature of the roof, contributing to better internal building cooling.
• Excellent Bond Strength: Adheres exceptionally well to diverse substrates including concrete, cementitious screeds, ceramic, stone, and even old bituminous sheaths.
• Rapid Drying: Optimized for quick drying, reducing the downtime between coats and shortening overall project duration.
• Eco-Friendly: Contains zero VOC (Volatile Organic Compounds), contributing to LEED certification and ensuring safety for installers and the environment.

WHERE TO USE MAPEI AQUAFLEX ROOF PLUS

This high-performance liquid membrane is ideal for a wide range of exposed external applications:

• New Flat & Sloping Roofs: Providing a continuous, seamless waterproof layer on new concrete slabs.
• Repairing Existing Roofs: Restoring leaking roofs covered with old bitumen or asphalt membranes.
• Complex Architectural Shapes: Easily applied to cupolas, curved roofs, and areas with multiple penetrations like air conditioning units or solar panels.
• Balconies and Terraces: Protecting floor structures from water ingress.
• Guttering and Downpipes: Lining gutters to prevent corrosion and leakage.

STEP-BY-STEP APPLICATION GUIDE

1. Substrate Preparation

Ensure the surface is structurally sound, clean, and dry. Remove any loose materials, grease, or old paint that may hinder adhesion. If applying to concrete, ensure all cracks are repaired with an appropriate MAPEI mortar.

2. Application Process

• Priming: For highly absorbent or dusty surfaces, applying a compatible primer (such as Mapei Aquaflex Primer) is recommended to ensure maximum bond strength.
• First Coat: Apply a uniform layer of Aquaflex Roof Plus using a long-haired roller or brush.
• Reinforcement (Optional): For areas subject to high stress or larger cracks, embed Mapetex 50 non-woven fabric into the wet first coat.
• Second Coat: Once the first coat is dry (approx. 8-12 hours), apply the second coat crosswise to the first to ensure total coverage.
