What is Spantex? Spantex is a synthetic rubber, elastomeric coating made from Dupont's Hypalon. It is used where a tough, waterproof, skid resistant coating is needed. Hypalon is an exotic coating and failure to follow the instructions which are printed on every label and brochure will usually result in an unsatisfactory job, i.e., it should not be applied over any moisture, grease, wax, paint, pitch or other coatings, nothing else should be used to fill seams, etc. However, if our instructions are followed, the result will be an attractive, waterproof, skid resistant surface. Why is Spantex Superior? Spantex mechanically adheres to the surface being coated and forms a complete moisture barrier. Spantex remains flexible indefinitely and expands and contracts with temperature variances. The rubber granules that give Spantex its skid resistent texture are pliable and will not wear through the coating. Our system of filling plywood joints with Spantex rather than using tape, insures against cracking by forming a "rubber hinge" in these areas. Spantex is very resistant to the detrimental effects of the ultrviolet rays of the sun.
