Ecobuild 2014

Kemper System showcases complete sustainable roofing solutions

Kemper System’s stand at this year’s Ecobuild
continues to promote the market leading solventfree, sustainable and odourless Kemperol 2K-PUR
liquid waterproofing system and Stratex Warm
Roof System.
Kemper System’s innovative Kemperol 2K-PUR
solvent-free and odourless system is the first

solvent-free wet-on-wet cold liquid waterproofing
system available on the UK market and remains
the only product of its kind commercially available.
The past year has seen continued growth in sales
for the hard-wearing and durable waterproofing
membrane, which bonds to almost any substrate
to create a totally seamless, monolithic, U/V
stable, elastomeric membrane. Based on an 80%
castor-oil formulation derived from sustainable
sources, the liquid system also incorporates a
flexible non-woven reinforcement fleece, which is
manufactured using 25% recycled plastic bottle
content. As the resin saturates the fleece in a
single application process, the cured membrane
cannot delaminate. Offered with a 20-year
warranty, the ground-breaking system is both
solvent-free and odourless, making it not only
ideal for sustainable new builds but also perfect
for upgrades to occupied buildings as the lack
of buisance odours means that work can be
carried out while the building remains in normal
use. Suitable for application on top of virtually all
existing roofing materials, eco-friendly Kemperol
2K-PUR can even help to prevent excessive waste
from being sent to landfill during roof upgrades by
avoiding the need to strip out the existing failed
substrate.
Complementing the sustainability credentials
of the Kemperol 2K-PUR system, Kemper
System’s Stratex Warm Roof System offers a
completely integrated warm roof system that
incorporates primers, vapour barrier, insulation
and waterproofing with a range of optional
surfacing. Featuring a rigid PIR insulation board

Eclipse to showcase Boilermag
Visitors to Ecobuild looking to
maximise the energy effiiency of
central heating systems and reduce
maintenance are being encouraged
to visit Eclipse stand N1549.
Eclipse Magnetics has been a
world leading manufacturer of high
performance magnetics for nearly
100 years and will be showcasing its
market leading Boilermag range of
domestic, commercial and industrial
filters.
Boilermag combats the build-up of
ferrous oxide or black sludge thereby
improving heating efficiency by up
to 6%. This also avoids radiator
cold spots, poor circulation, blocked
pipes, excessive noise, frequent
breakdowns and premature pump
wear.

Once installed, Boilermag, which
utilises powerful rare earth magnets,
extracts virtually all ferrous oxide
and non-magnetic scale, and it has
no running costs and requires no
consumables. Each Boilermag has
the back up of a full 3 year warranty.
The Boilermag domestic unit is
compact and easy to fit in minutes.
It has 360 degree adjustment for
any angle of pipework. Servicing is
simple as the unit does not have to

with a unique tongue and groove interlocking joint,
the system significantly reduces cold bridging and
gives a much smoother surface finish.
Kemper System will also be showcasing the
company’s Kempergro Green Roof System, a
three-section system comprising a reservoir
attenuation composite, growing medium and
vegetation. The reservoir attenuation layer
includes an upper filter fleece, central reservoir
core and lower protection fleece, which are
manufactured from 90% recycled materials and
factory bonded to maximise performance and
simplify installation. Suitable for use with the
Kemperol 2K-PUR waterproofing membrane,
Kempergro has a growing medium that is 100%
composed of recycled brick, tiles and green
compost, which is processed and graded to
support an extensive range of sedum, meadow
and lawn roof media.
Visitors to Kemper System’s stand will be able
to see how each of the systems have been used
in practice, including h
