Technology development does not stand still. This also affected the construction market. More and more advanced materials are being created that have high levels of strength, durability and reliability. One such material is EPP technoelast, specifications which makes it the most popular. This article describes what technoelast is and where it is used. Its modifications and composition will be considered, as well as what the letters E and P mean for the technical characteristics of the EPP technoelast.
What is technoelast?
Technoelast is a rolled roofing material that is characterized by high reliability, waterproofing capabilities and high strength. Thanks to its properties, technoelast can be used in any climatic conditions. Technoelast is used for covering roofs, waterproofing foundations, swimming pools, garages and other structures.
The production technology consists of applying a layer of a mixture of bitumen, SBS thermoplastic (and its modifications) and filler on both sides to a durable and fairly flexible base. SBS is an artificial rubber, and fillers can include talc, dolomite and other substances. The top and bottom layers are film or crumbs. It is the film that protects the material from gluing during storage in a roll, and it is also melted during the installation of technoelast. The crumbs can be either coarse-grained or fine-grained. Shale, sand, etc. are used as it.
Explanation of the abbreviation and main modifications of technoelast
Technoelast is available in several modifications, each of which has its own conditions and area of use. And the letters indicated in the modification are deciphered as follows:
- The first letter of the abbreviation is the material from which the base is made. It can be: polyester (ester) - E, canvas - X or fabric - T;
- The second letter of the abbreviation is the type of top protective layer. It can be: crumbs - K, film (or fine-grained topping) - P;
- The third letter of the abbreviation is the type of undercoat. It also comes in two types - crumb (K) and film (P).
Depending on the combination of these layers, the Technonikol company offers several types of technoelast:
- Technoelast EPP - waterproofing material for various construction projects. Apply it as various types, and for waterproofing floors, buildings, foundations, boiler rooms, swimming pools and other buildings. In addition to absolute waterproofness, it also has high elongation and high heat resistance. EPP is made from which SBS thermoplastic and filler are applied. The bottom layer is a film, and the top layer is a fine-grained topping. If it is used as waterproofing for building structures, then they are fused in two layers using a torch.
- Technoelast EKP is a roofing waterproofing material that is used as upper layer. It is often used with EPP technoelast, thereby increasing reliability roofing works. EKP is characterized by high heat resistance and tolerates low temperatures (down to -30 o C). The main layer for the production of ECP is polyester (which is not subject to rotting) with a layer of bitumen, thermoplastic and filler. The top is covered with a large mineral film, and the bottom layer is a protective film.
- Technoelast TKP is used as a roofing material for the top layer of roofing sheets. It can also withstand high loads, so it is often used as a waterproofing agent for underground objects. The rolled material has high strength, increased reliability, and is resistant to steam and temperature changes. The base of the TKP technoelast is fiberglass, which is covered on top with SBS bitumen and thermoplastic. The top layer is crumbs, and the bottom layer is film.
- Technoelast XPP is a waterproofing material that is mainly used as a bottom layer for roofing, foundation, swimming pool, etc. It is resistant to frost and heat.
- TKP roll material consists of fiberglass coated with SBS-modified bitumen and filler, and film. Due to the absence of polyester and crumbs, it has the smallest thickness - 3 mm.

Application area
Waterproofing with technoelast has gained great popularity for various construction work. Due to its technical characteristics, EPP technoelast is used primarily where protection against moisture penetration is needed. It is also used as a material for roofing carpet.
If repairs are necessary, technoelast is applied in one layer. If a new coating is needed, then two layers are required. At the same time, the top layer looks quite attractive, which allows you to avoid unnecessary expenses on a decorated coating.
Installation and storage
For a long service life of waterproofing, it must not only be selected correctly, but also correctly laid and secured.
The sequence of work is as follows:
- The surface to which the technoelast will be attached must be thoroughly cleaned of dust. If there are potholes and holes, they should be cemented. Then degrease the surface of the structure.
- To ensure adhesion of the technoelast, the base must be coated or thinned bitumen mastic gasoline (proportions 1:3).
- At this step you need to roll out and cut the panel.
- Heat the bottom layer with a gas burner and press it to the base. All subsequent sheets are fused with an overlap of 9-10 cm.
Storing technoelast is quite easy. First of all, it should be placed in a room with dry air, which is well ventilated. You need to stack rolls on shelves in a vertical position and in such a way that they are away from heating devices at a distance of no closer than a meter.
If you need to ensure maximum waterproofing, then ideal solution There will be technoelast EPP. The technical characteristics of the rolled material allow it to serve reliably and for a long time.
