RubberPaint Universal is a highly elastic, waterproof protective barrier for the toughest jobs. Applied cold, with no heating, in any RAL colour.

01 / Applications

Use cases

Universal liquid rubber bonds without primer to most substrates and adapts to thermal movements of the structure.

02 / Application

Step-by-step guide

Step 01 / 05

Prepare the substrate

The foundation of long life.

Clean the surface thoroughly to remove dust, grease, algae and loose particles — use a pressure washer (max. 120 bar) or wire brush where needed. On highly absorbent substrates, prime first with RubberPaint thinned with 5–10% water. Fill cracks wider than 3 mm with sealant or filler beforehand, and strip back any old, flaking coatings completely.

Step 02 / 05

Seal the joints

The critical points under control.

On roofs, balconies and terraces, embed reinforcement fleece (polyester fleece 60 g/m² or glass-fibre fleece) into the wet first coat at every transition, internal and external corner, roof penetration, chimney, drain and wall junction. Saturate the fleece fully and work out any bubbles — overlaps at least 5 cm. These watertight detail points account for 80% of the long-term service life.

Step 03 / 05

First coat

Building the base barrier.

Apply with brush, lambswool roller or airless sprayer (15–18 MPa, nozzle 0.017"–0.023"). Consumption approx. 100–200 g/m² per coat, depending on substrate porosity.

Step 04 / 05

Drying and curing

Patience for a perfect finish.

The first coat is dust-dry after approx. 2 hours at 23 °C / 50 % RH. Apply the next coat only after the previous one is fully dry — otherwise bubbles form.

Step 05 / 05

Second coat

The final armour.

Apply undiluted for full protective thickness. Rain-resistant after 24 h (manufacturer specification), carefully walkable after 24 h, fully load-bearing after 28 days.

Pro tip

For heavily stressed details (chimneys, maintenance walkways, high-traffic areas) we recommend a third coat — it adds years to the service life.
