Flexitec 2020 Adhesion Test Kit

Check If Flexitec 2020 Will Stick Before You Install

The Flexitec Adhesion Test Kit is used to check whether the Flexitec 2020 GRP roofing system will properly bond to an existing roof surface before you install the full system.

It’s especially important when installing over PVC single-ply membranes, EPDM, or existing liquid roofing systems, where adhesion can’t be assumed.

Why You Should Use an Adhesion Test Kit

Not every roof is suitable for over-coating. Some surfaces look fine but won’t allow the resin to bond properly. Some require a combination of components based on the results of the adhesion test.

This kit lets you test adhesion first, so you know whether Flexitec 2020 is suitable for your roof before spending time and money on a full installation. It also helps you determine the right components you need for the best possible adhesion.

If the test patch can’t be removed once cured, the surface is suitable to coat.

When This Kit Is Needed

You should use the Flexitec Adhesion Test Kit when:

• Coating PVC single-ply roofs
• Coating EPDM membranes
• Coating existing liquid-applied roofing
• You’re unsure what the existing roof covering is
• You’re planning an overlay rather than a full strip-off

This follows the Flexitec application guidance and helps avoid problems later.

How the Test Works (Simple Overview)

1. Clean and prepare a small test area
2. Apply primer where required
3. Install a small reinforced Flexitec resin patch
4. Allow it to fully cure
5. Try to remove the patch after the recommended time

If the patch is firmly bonded and won’t lift, Flexitec 2020 can be installed on that surface.

What’s Included in the Kit

The kit contains everything you need to carry out a proper test using real Flexitec materials:

• Flexitec 2020 Resin
• Flexitec Primer
• Flexitec Powder Hardener
• 225g Fibreglass Matting

Using the actual system components means the test result is reliable.

Key Benefits

• Confirms whether Flexitec 2020 will stick to your roof
• Removes guesswork on refurbishment jobs
• Helps avoid failed installations
• Saves time, labour and materials
• Suitable for roofers and competent DIY users

A Roofer’s Take

Overlay jobs are where problems usually start if you don’t test first. The Flexitec Adhesion Test Kit gives you a clear yes-or-no answer before you commit to the full system.

If you’re working over an existing membrane or coating, this kit is the sensible first step.
