Lava-Liner Ltd. Industries’ technology has more than a 18-year history in demanding coatings applications like liquid containment and cooling towers. Lava-Liner Ltd. became a corporation in 1995 after acquiring the proprietary know-how for manufacturing asphalt extended urethanes. During the preceding six years, the product had been produced by Ultra Membrane International, Inc. The basic formula was then improved by Lava-Liner Ltd. resulting in a tougher, more resilient material sold directly to the DIY retail market. In 1998, the technology was extended to make a commercial grade high build material, ULTRA-FLEX 5000, for coating cables (including the Hinan suspension bridge in Pu Yang, China) as well as a derivative material for roofing.

In 2000, Lava-Liner Ltd. made a strategic decision to manufacture only for private label customers and pre-qualified contractors and wholesale customers. Lava-Liner Ltd. shifted its internal focus to research and development in order to expand its product offerings. This R&D effort resulted in several new coatings and specialized surface preparations that enhance the performance of current products and serve new markets as stand-alone products. The results of this R&D program are: ULTRA-FLEX 5000 FR, ULTRA-FLEX RCI, ULTRA-FLEX AP-RCI, ULTRA-FLEX CWG, and ULTRA-FLEX EP-990. In addition, Lava-Liner Ltd. worked with GRACO‘s international pump division in Minneapolis to test and prove the capabilities of their new Xtreme plural component spray equipment for application of ULTRA-FLEX 5000.

In 2009. Lava-Liner obtained a license of use of a new Terminal Blended Polymerized Asphalt.  They subsequently developed the new ECO 5000 membrane that uses the reclaimed polymers from recycled tires for additional strength, UV resistance and longer life.  Recycling materials has resulted in a physically more superior product.
