AggreBind can be used for waterproofing, surface sealing and soil stabilizing, all of these combined elements make AggreBind ideal for roofing projects.
In the image on the right shows the morning after a torrential rain, there is no muddiness, seepage or penetration from the rain water.
The AggreBind stabilized and sealed alleyways do not absorb the rain water and confirm the water proof and impermeable properties of AggreBind.
Protocol for roofing concept – Roof Tiles using AggreBind
Materials:
Chopped straw/dried grass, mixed with fine silt/sand and stabilized with AggreBind.
Size: Aprox. 30cm x 30cm but could be in various shapes and sizes.
Depth: 20 to 25 mm
Equipment:
Hand tools, hand made moulds, hand compaction equipment and local community labour. No other power required.
Manufactured in a simple hand compacted mould using the same materials.
Other Design Options.
It could be visually effective to produce a circular or semi-circular roofing tile.
Aggrebind is generally supplied in Black or White (dries clear).
Aggrebind can also be supplied with a color additive. This is highly attractive when applied to lighter colored concrete/surfaces.
Aggrebind is environmentally friendly and harmless to all animals and plants!

Is a water based, environmentally friendly, cross linking polymer that increases the compressive and tensile strength of virtually all soils and waste materials.
Protocol for flat roofing concept using AggreBind
WATERPROOFING ROOFING AND FLAT SURFACES – The main cause of the problems associated with a flat roof are heat, moisture , structural movement , and inadequate drainage
Standard Roof
Clean the roof thoroughly and remove any debris, grass, weeds etc
Identify areas where the roof leaks and correct if necessary.
Check for blockages in the drainage system and correct if necessary.
For surface cracks : Mix 1 part fine sand with AGB and 3 parts water ( Slurry AggreBind ).
Fill all visible cracks with on pasta (Slurry AggreBind). After 1 hour spray total surface covered with a mixture of 1 part of AGB diluted with 3 parts water.
Leave for 1 hour and then spray the area again with the same mixture. Do not use the roof area for 2 hours. Do not install the AGB mixture if rain or frost is imminent
