Specialty coatings and spray polyurethane foam insulation company Gaco Western has recently developed GacoPatch, a fiber reinforced silicone roof patch designed for repairing roof leaks in a one-step application.
Primers, seam tapes, and top coats are not required with the product, according to the company.
Standalone Repair Option
“Our customers have been after a silicone-based patching compound that can be used for a standalone repair for an extended period until a roof can be fully rehabilitated,” said Chuck Skalski, president of Gaco Western.
“GacoPatch fits the bill,” Skalski added. “It’s a great addition to the Gaco line of products.”
A waterproof, monolithic seal is created within 30 minutes of applying GacoPatch, according to the company, which noted that it can quickly protect roofs from leaks.
Resistant to UV, Extreme Temperatures, Water
Over the longer term, GacoPatch is suitable as a standalone roof patch and will not degrade under ultraviolet (UV) exposure, temperature extremes, or ponded water, Gaco Western said.
The 2.5-gal (9.5 L) wide top pail makes the application of GacoPatch easy to do with a trowel or a brush, according to the company.
The product also comes with a 25-year limited material warranty.
