Liquid plastic sealing: advantages, limitations and practical knowledge
Liquid plastic shows its strengths when many details have to be tightly integrated. The guide covers applications, substrates and execution, as well as limits and alternatives.
Proceed
Advice, on-site testing, clean system setup
Goal
Long-lasting, dense and easy-care surfaces
Short answer: Liquid plastic is particularly suitable for complex details, but requires careful preparatory work and system fidelity.
When liquid plastic is particularly useful
Liquid plastic impresses with complicated geometries, many connections and penetrations. There it can be integrated cleanly without hard edges.
Liquid plastic can also be a safe solution for renovations with unclear detailed areas if the substrate is suitable. The next step is to check the subsurface.
Short info: Practical conclusion: The more complex the details, the more suitable liquid plastic is.
Surface and preparation
The surface must be stable, clean and dry. Loose old coatings or open edge areas are specifically prepared in advance.
A clear preliminary inspection decides whether the structure will adhere permanently or whether problems will arise later. This leads directly to execution according to system fidelity.
Short info: Without proper preparation, even the best system loses its effectiveness.
Execution with system fidelity
Liquid plastic systems must be implemented exactly according to manufacturer approvals. Layer thicknesses, drying times and detailing are crucial.
The connections to doors, railings and edge profiles in particular determine the service life. Once the implementation has been clarified, it can be checked whether alternatives make sense.
Short info: System fidelity is not a formalism, but the quality factor.
Limits and alternatives
Not every surface needs liquid plastic. For large, uniform areas, other systems may be more economical.
The choice of system should always be tailored to the surface, use and detailed zones.
Short info: The best solution is the one that fits the area - not the one that is always used.
Practical knowledge: Use liquid plastic cleanly
Liquid plastic has a particularly strong effect in detailed areas - if preparation and system reliability are right.
Checklist for clients
- Completely record detailed zones and connections in advance.
- Check the surface for load-bearing capacity and moisture.
- Plan binding system specifications (layer thickness, drying).
- Check connections on doors, railings and edge profiles separately.
Common stumbling blocks in practice
- Use liquid plastic as a quick solution without testing the substrate.
- To improvise detailed zones in the execution.
- Shorten system defaults to save time.
Frequently asked questions
Is liquid plastic always the most expensive solution?
Not necessarily - with many details it can even be more economical.
Can liquid plastic be used on old flooring?
This depends on the condition and liability of the inventory and must be checked.
How long does liquid plastic sealing last?
If carried out and cared for properly, long service lives are possible.
