Frequently Asked Questions About Triflex Waterproofing and Coating Systems

Triflex liquid polymer systems are designed for durability and ease of renovation. As a result, waterproofing membranes need to be replaced less frequently, which conserves resources and reduces emissions. In addition, materials and processes are continuously optimized with regard to environmental and health considerations.

As a member of the DGNB (German Sustainable Building Council) and through certified quality processes, Triflex ensures that sustainability is taken into account throughout the entire product life cycle—from development to disposal.

Triflex PMMA liquid plastics are solvent-free. During application, brief odors may occur as a result of the chemical reaction (polymerization). These odors pose no health risk and dissipate completely once the material has fully cured.

When applied properly, all applicable occupational exposure limits are met. In indoor areas, project-specific planning—such as ventilation concepts—is required.

Triflex systems are versatile and suitable for:

Thanks to the liquid application process, even complex details and challenging substrates can be reliably waterproofed—in both new construction and renovation projects.

The performance of waterproofing and coating systems depends largely on proper installation. That is why Triflex deliberately relies on direct sales through qualified specialty contractors.

These contractors are trained, supported, and provided with project-specific advice. The result:

Builders and planners can find certified specialty contractors through the Triflex Contractor Search.

It is not possible to provide a flat rate per square meter for waterproofing with liquid plastic. Every project is unique and depends on:

Result: cost-effective solutions over the long term instead of short-term savings that carry risks.

Inexpensive waterproofing systems often result in follow-up costs due to leaks, repairs, or downtime. The actual costs do not arise during the initial installation, but rather from damage that occurs during operation.

High-quality liquid polymer systems ensure a permanently effective waterproofing solution, reduce maintenance requirements, and minimize risks. The result: lower life-cycle costs and greater investment security.

Triflex complies with statutory take-back obligations for packaging through certified partners such as Interseroh. Disposal is carried out separately by material type, such as plastic, metal, or paper.

IBC containers are handled through the appropriate take-back systems. The specific requirements, minimum quantities, and pickup conditions are determined on a project-by-project basis.

Important: Disposal must always comply with legal requirements.

Safe handling of PMMA systems requires adherence to clear occupational safety measures:

Consistent adherence to occupational safety measures minimizes health risks while ensuring efficient construction processes.

To support this, Triflex provides practical documentation and training.

Safety data sheets contain all relevant information on the safe handling, use, storage, and disposal of Triflex products.

The current documents are available centrally on the industry portal “Hazardous Substances Communication in the Construction Industry (GefKom Bau).”
