SEAL FOR LIFE international backing
An international portfolio of anti-corrosion and mechanical protection solutions, with a presence and technical support in Mexico.
Viscoelastic Systems
Specialists in viscoelastic systems in Mexico.
Sale, application, supervision, training and engineering. Commercial, technical and administrative partner for the application of Stopaq Viscoelastic Systems across Mexico. We have solutions for every scenario.
Coating
Stopaq self-healing anti-corrosion viscoelastic tape.
Tape with a fully amorphous, non-crystallizing polyisobutylene matrix that is not molecularly cross-linked and self-healing. It is a universal non-Newtonian polymer (PIB).
Manufacturing
Systems manufactured in Europe, the United States and Mexico, with worldwide quality recognition.
Performance
Unique, innovative technology. Highly regarded quality in both the global and Mexican markets.
National and international coverage
We provide specialized service in Mexico and international markets, bringing our experience, technology and technical support wherever each project requires it.
Performance
High-performance specifications
- 1The surface does not require an anchor profile.
- 2The system is fully flexible (it does not crack).
- 3The system is non-toxic (NSF).
- 4The system does not require constant supervision.
- 5The system is easy and simple to apply.
- 6The system is self-healing (+/- 5 mm).
- 7The system withstands temperatures from -45 °C to 90 °C (depending on the version).
