Aquaflex represents a U.S.-based brand specializing in waterproof flooring installation and concrete repair solutions, produced by Formulators, a privately owned building materials firm located in Southern California.
The Aquaflex product range is built around a proprietary moisture-cure adhesive technology engineered to enable waterproof installation of resilient flooring over concrete substrates exhibiting elevated moisture levels and alkalinity.
Established in 2000, Formulators focuses on specialized building products aimed at resolving issues common in traditional flooring systems, with Aquaflex serving as its flagship brand.
History
Aquaflex was introduced by Formulators as a moisture control system incorporating a waterproof adhesive designed for resilient flooring applications on concrete with high moisture content and pH levels. In May 2015, the company obtained U.S. patent rights for this adhesive technology tailored to perform under conditions of increased moisture and alkalinity.
By May 2016, Aquaflex launched Aquaflex2 PSA, marking the industry's first waterproof pressure-sensitive adhesive activated by moisture cure.
Subsequently, within the same year, the brand broadened its portfolio to include silica-free waterproof concrete repair products such as patching compounds, skim coatings, and self-leveling materials. These formulations exclude respirable crystalline silica to assist contractors in meeting new OSHA regulations concerning silica exposure.
Products and technology
Aquaflex delivers an integrated flooring installation system that combines moisture mitigation components, adhesives, and cement-based repair materials into a cohesive solution.
