Features and Benefits
GACO offers advanced waterproofing and repellent solutions designed to protect a wide range of surfaces from water damage and environmental degradation. Their product line focuses on delivering durable, long-lasting protection, ensuring the integrity and longevity of your structures.
Core Advantages of GACO Products:
- Superior Waterproofing: GACO coatings create a seamless, monolithic barrier that effectively prevents water infiltration, safeguarding against leaks and structural damage.
- Exceptional Durability: Engineered for resilience, GACO products withstand harsh weather conditions, UV exposure, and physical abrasion, providing protection that lasts for years.
- Versatile Application: Suitable for various substrates including concrete, wood, metal, and foam, GACO solutions offer adaptable protection for roofs, foundations, decks, and more.
- Environmentally Conscious Formulations: Many GACO products are formulated with environmental impact in mind, offering low VOC options and contributing to sustainable building practices.
- Ease of Application: Designed for professional and DIY application, GACO products are straightforward to use, often requiring minimal preparation and straightforward application methods.
GACO's product range typically includes spray-applied polyurethane foam insulation and coatings, as well as liquid-applied membranes and sealants. These products are engineered to provide a robust, impermeable layer that can adapt to the unique contours of a structure, eliminating potential points of failure commonly found in traditional waterproofing methods.
For instance, GACO's spray polyurethane foam (SPF) systems not only provide exceptional insulation value by air sealing and preventing heat transfer but also create a waterproof membrane when coated with their protective topcoats. This dual functionality offers a comprehensive solution for building envelopes, reducing energy costs and enhancing occupant comfort while providing critical water protection.
Liquid-applied membranes from GACO are another key offering, providing a flexible and durable barrier for flat or low-slope roofs, balconies, and other exposed surfaces. These systems are known for their ability to stretch and bridge small cracks, maintaining their integrity even as structures move or settle. They are often available in various formulations to suit different climate conditions and performance requirements.
GACO also provides specialized sealants and coatings designed for specific applications, such as those requiring resistance to chemicals, extreme temperatures, or high traffic. These products are developed through extensive research and development, ensuring they meet stringent industry standards for performance and safety.
The benefits extend beyond mere protection. By preventing water damage, GACO solutions help to maintain the aesthetic appeal of buildings, prevent mold and mildew growth, and extend the lifespan of materials, ultimately saving on repair and replacement costs.

Product Summary
Construction and Materials
This product is a liquid-applied roofing membrane designed for the protection and restoration of various roof substrates. Its construction involves a single-component, self-leveling silicone coating that cures upon exposure to atmospheric moisture.
The primary material used is high-solids silicone, which provides excellent adhesion, flexibility, and durability. This material is engineered to withstand extreme temperature fluctuations, UV radiation, ponding water, and other harsh environmental conditions without degrading. The formulation is designed to create a seamless, monolithic membrane that effectively bridges cracks and gaps in existing roofing systems.
Key features of the construction include:
- Single-Component System: The product is applied directly from the container, simplifying the application process.
- Self-Leveling Application: The liquid nature of the coating allows it to flow and level itself, creating a smooth and uniform surface.
- Moisture-Cured: Curing is initiated by ambient humidity, allowing for application in a wide range of temperatures and weather conditions.
- Seamless Membrane: Upon curing, it forms a continuous, waterproof layer without the need for seams or fasteners, significantly reducing the risk of leaks.
- High Solids Content: This indicates a concentrated formulation with a minimal amount of solvent or water, resulting in a thicker, more robust film after application.
The materials used offer inherent benefits such as:
- UV Resistance: The silicone formulation is highly resistant to degradation from ultraviolet rays, preventing chalking, cracking, and loss of elasticity over time.
- Ponding Water Resistance: Unlike many other roofing materials, this silicone coating remains unaffected by prolonged exposure to standing water, preventing blistering and premature failure.
- Flexibility: The material retains its flexibility across a wide temperature range, allowing it to expand and contract with the roof structure without compromising its integrity.
- Adhesion: It forms a strong bond to a variety of substrates, including asphaltic roofing, single-ply membranes (like EPDM, TPO, PVC), metal, concrete, and wood, often without the need for a primer.
- Chemical Resistance: The silicone formulation exhibits resistance to various chemicals commonly found on rooftops.
