Polyurethane root barrier ROOTBARRIER P

green rooffor landscaping

Product Overview
KINJOYA RootBarrier P is a chemical additive formulated to provide root-resistant properties to polyurethane waterproofing systems. It blocks or delays primary root growth and promotes lateral root development to prevent penetration of the waterproofing membrane, particularly in green roofs and landscaped areas. The additive is mixed into the polyurethane during preparation to ensure uniform dispersion without altering the material's performance.

Application

• Green roofs and landscaped areas.
• Vegetated covers and slabs with vegetation.
• Waterproofing projects requiring protection against root penetration.

Key Benefits

• Effective root blocking – Inhibits primary root elongation and encourages lateral growth to protect the membrane.
• Excellent compatibility – Compatible with polyurethane waterproofing systems and with modified asphalt for homogeneous mixtures.
• High stability – Maintains effectiveness under extreme temperatures and high humidity; resistant to decomposition over time.
• Safety and environment – Formulated without toxic substances and designed to pose no risk to health or the environment.

Install Guide
Recommended Dosage: 0.8% of the total weight of the waterproofing material.

• Mixing method: Incorporate the additive into the polyurethane mix prior to application.
• Ensure uniform dispersion using mechanical or manual agitation.
• Apply the polyurethane system containing the additive following standard installation procedures.

Storage

• Store in a cool, dry and well-ventilated place.
• Avoid direct sunlight and high temperatures.
• Shelf life: 1 to 2 years under proper storage conditions.
• All values are nominal at the time of manufacture; actual results may vary with application methods, substrate conditions, environmental factors, and specific product configurations.
• Protection during use: Use gloves and a mask during handling; avoid contact with skin and eyes; in case of contact, rinse thoroughly with water and seek medical attention if necessary.
