High-Durability Fibre-Encapsulating Roof Coating
Kingfisher Asbestos Roof Coating is a solvent-free, styrene-acrylic polymer system designed to encapsulate fibres and waterproof aged asbestos cement (AC) roof sheets. It forms a durable, UV-resistant shell that seals porous surfaces and enhances the roof’s appearance.
