Pro Cape Waterproofing Systems uses POLYURETHANE WATERPROOFING.  The application is done by using a locally manufactured spray gun machine technique, different to the traditional torch-on method.    This unique atomizing system enables us to attain any finish you may require and overspray is minimized, which is a saving on all raw materials enabling us to offer a cost effective pricing structure.  The machine is totally portable – it has wheels and can be used in almost any area. 

WHAT IS POLYURETHANEdrop1

Polyurethane products first made their appearance in the market place in the 1930’s.  This was after an intensive investigation by an American pharmacist, Dr Otto Bayer, who was looking for a synthetic fibre to replace nylon.  Once the basic technology was understood, new applications for sprays (1941) and elastomers (1943) were developed.  In the early 1950’s, commercial applications appeared (information extracted from National Urethane Industries’ training manual)
