Valley Forge, Pa. — Dec. 9, 2014 — With the introduction of SmartFlash EZ Patch, CertainTeed Corp. is making the emergency repair of low-slope roofing faster and easier than ever before. The single-component, high performance, self-terminating cold liquid applied membrane quickly patches leaks and cracks on flat and sloping surfaces.
“With SmartFlash EZ Patch, roofing repairs can be done in one easy step,” said Ralph Galvan, marketing manager for Commercial Roofing. “So contractors can spend less time on the job site and eliminate the need to travel with multiple repair supplies.”
The UV-stable, pre-saturated self-adhering product is made of one part urethane and is fleece-reinforced. Each package contains latex gloves and a pre-saturated fleece patch, measuring approximately 16 inches by 10 ½ inches, that can be used on bitumen, single ply membranes, concrete, wood, and metal roofing surfaces.
The quick application process is odor-free and eliminates the need for additional tools, primer, and solvent.
Once finished, there is no leftover material to clean up and the roof is rainproof in only one hour, and completely cured in 48 hours.
SmartFlash EZ Patch is part of the SmartFlash family of products. SmartFlash membranes form full closure to irregular flashings and penetrations of every imaginable shape, eliminating the need for pitch pockets. When cured, SmartFlash virtually becomes part of the substrate and can be used to form watertight flashings at joints, parapets, walls, and other penetrations. The product also provides excellent resistance to tearing, puncture, high winds, structural movement, and routine foot traffic.
