Grip Polyester reinforcement fabric is used as the reinforcement layer in a cold-applied restoration system. It has superior tensile strength and excellent elongation. When covered with roof coatings or aggregate, the lightweight polyester reinforcing fabric is unaffected by water immersion and UV radiation. Grip Polyester Soft differs from Grip Polyester Firm by conforming more easily and readily to irregular shapes and surfaces, making it ideal for use over irregular surfaces.

Cold-Applied | As the reinforcement layer in a cold-applied roof maintenance system, Grip Polyester is embedded in a base layer of a cold-applied roof coating, carefully broomed to ensure complete adhesion, and top dressed with an additional layer of a cold-applied roof coating. After a 30-day curing period, the coating system is aluminized or coated with a white coating. Grip Polyester Firm is suitable for smooth built-up and modified roof applications. Grip Polyester Soft can be used over irregular surfaces such as metal roofs and with Garland’s White-Knight®/White-Stallion® system. |
