What Is Acrylic Waterproof Insulation?
Acrylic Waterproof Insulation is a protective elastomeric coating made from advanced acrylic polymer materials that creates a seamless waterproof membrane on different surfaces.
Unlike traditional waterproofing systems that may crack, deteriorate, or require heavy installation methods, acrylic insulation offers a lightweight yet highly durable protective barrier against:
Water infiltration
UV radiation
Surface cracks and seams
Harsh weather conditions
Excessive roof heat
In many regions with hot climates or heavy rainfall, acrylic waterproof coatings have become a preferred alternative to conventional waterproofing systems because they are easier to apply, more repairable, and significantly more cost-effective.

Why COUPCOAT®AWC Is Different
COUPCOAT®AWC is a premium single-component Acrylic Waterproof Insulation formulated using elastomeric and acrylic polymer materials.
Unlike traditional systems requiring multiple components or extensive preparation, COUPCOAT®AWC is supplied as a ready-to-use paste, helping contractors and property owners reduce labor time and simplify installation.
Its high-performance formula is specifically engineered to:
✔ Prevent water penetration
✔ Reduce roof heating and indoor heat transfer
✔ Resist UV rays and sunlight damage
✔ Adhere strongly to multiple surfaces
✔ Perform under diverse weather conditions
One of the most important advantages is its ability to reflect nearly 80% of sunlight and heat, helping reduce thermal absorption and improving indoor comfort.

Where Can Acrylic Waterproof Insulation Be Used?
One of the strongest advantages of COUPCOAT®AWC is versatility.
Roof Waterproofing
Roofs are constantly exposed to sunlight, rain, temperature fluctuations, and environmental stress.
Applying Acrylic Waterproof Insulation on rooftops creates a seamless waterproof membrane that:
Prevents leaks
Reduces roof surface temperatures
Protects against cracking
Improves durability against weather exposure
This makes it highly suitable for:
Residential roofs
Commercial buildings
Industrial warehouses
Flat roofs
Sloped roofs

Building Facades and Foundations
Water infiltration through walls and foundations can weaken structural integrity over time.
COUPCOAT®AWC provides excellent waterproofing for:
Building facades
Foundations
Exterior walls
Vertical surfaces
Because of its strong adhesion performance, it works effectively on both horizontal and vertical applications.
Bathrooms and Wet Areas
Bathrooms, toilets, kitchens, and wet service areas are vulnerable to moisture accumulation.
Applying acrylic waterproof insulation beneath finishing materials helps:
Prevent moisture penetration
Protect concrete structures
Reduce mold risks
Improve long-term durability
Swimming Pools and Gardens
Outdoor environments require waterproof systems capable of resisting moisture and changing weather conditions.
COUPCOAT®AWC is suitable for:
Its weather-resistant performance makes it ideal for demanding outdoor applications.
Green Roofs and HVAC Ducts
Modern architecture increasingly includes sustainable infrastructure such as:
Acrylic waterproof insulation offers moisture protection without significantly increasing structural weight.
Bitumen Surface Restoration and Asphalt Repair
Instead of replacing damaged asphalt or bitumen surfaces entirely, COUPCOAT®AWC can be applied as a protective restoration layer.
This helps extend the life of aging surfaces while reducing repair expenses.

Application Process and Best Practices
Proper installation plays a critical role in maximizing waterproofing performance.
Recommended Application Tips
1. Prepare the Surface Properly
Before application:
Remove dust and loose particles
Clean oils or contaminants
Repair damaged sections if necessary
Ensure the substrate is dry
A properly prepared surface improves adhesion and long-term durability.
2. Reinforce with Fiberglass Mesh
For enhanced performance, a 4 mm fiberglass mesh with approximately 100 g/m² weight is recommended.
This reinforcement helps improve crack resistance and coating stability.
3. Avoid Water Exposure After Installation
One of the most important requirements:
No rain or water exposure should occur for at least 72 hours after application.
Premature moisture exposure can affect curing performance.
4. Apply Across Different Surface Angles
COUPCOAT®AWC works effectively on:
Horizontal surfaces
Vertical surfaces
Sloped surfaces
Its strong adhesion simplifies waterproofing in complex construction environments.
