A turbo seal is a single component, polymer rubber with infused adhesives. It is a waterproofing material that is self healing, cold applied, and monolithic. It contains 25% post consumer recycled materials, mostly used tires, and is non-toxic as well as non-flammable. As such it can add to a buildings LEED score and is not subject to volatile organic compound restrictions.
The primary distinguishing characteristic of a turbo seal is that it does not cure. Because it does not dry but remains pliable, it is able to maintain performance over time despite movement – stretching, vibration etc.. This quality is also an important aspect in self healing.
Turbo Seal was invented at the Seoul National University of Technology and has been designated by the Korean Ministry of Construction and Transportation as a breakthrough new technology.
Famous quotes containing the word seal:
“Shut not so soon; the dull-eyed night
Has not yet begun
To make a seizure on the light,
Or to seal up the sun.”
—Robert Herrick (1591–1674)
