About Triflex
For over 40 years, Triflex has been a specialist in liquid polymer systems for waterproofing, coating and marking of roofs, structures and traffic surfaces. The portfolio includes PMMA-based systems (polymethyl methacrylate) for flat roofs, balconies, terraces, parking decks, structural waterproofing, water and well structures as well as cold plastic and thermoplastic markings for traffic surfaces. The systems are fleece-reinforced, crack-bridging and can be applied to substrates such as concrete, water-impermeable concrete, asphalt, mastic asphalt, bitumen, metal, wood, natural stone and ceramic tiles; they reduce closure and downtime and preserve existing building fabric. Application is carried out by certified specialist companies, supported by personal technical consultation, substrate testing, application engineering, training and referral of trained installers. The headquarters are located in Minden (Germany); through sales companies Triflex is represented in Europe and Asia and is part of the Follmann Group.

Materials and Systems
PMMA liquid polymer (polymethyl methacrylate)
Basis of the waterproofing, coating and marking systems with rapid reaction behavior and short closure times.
Thermoplastic (Triflex Line EasyTherm)
For Type I and II road and guidance markings in urban and long-distance areas.
Concrete / water-impermeable concrete
Typical substrate for structural, parking deck and water structure waterproofing.
Mastic asphalt / asphalt
Substrate for parking garage systems (e.g. OS 10) and repair systems for traffic surfaces.
Bitumen / bituminous roofing membrane
Substrate for flat roof renovations, also under photovoltaic systems.
Metal / chrome-nickel steel
Substrate for metal roof coatings and water basins with special primers.
Natural stone (granite)
Substrate for stone setting of edge terminations and traffic islands with 2K binder.
Ceramic tiles / tiled coverings
Existing coverings in balcony renovations, e.g. with decoupling systems.
Wood
Substrate for which special primers are available in the system range.
