spray equipment, managed to complete the
project in just under a month.”
Abendroth says VIP Quick Spray Polyurea
can after proper preparation be applied to
concrete, metal, foam or other surfaces,
and within seconds it builds a rubber-like
elastic skin that will not only resist
punctures but has excellent resistance to
heat distortion and sagging as it maintains
its flexibility and shape.
The coating, once cured, is also not
affected by moisture and copes with
fluctuations of temperature with its high
elongation and superior tensile strength, he
adds. Containing no VOCs and solvent-free,
VIP Polyurea coatings are designed to
perform for around 25 years which
substantially cuts the costs of repairs
and maintenance.

needed for the extensive and spectacular
exotic gardens [at the palace].”

The design of
the palace called for
waterproofing that was
guaranteed not to leak,
particularly as part of
the roof gardens are on
the roofs of the living
quarters of King Letsie lll. ”
