HPX Waterproofing Put to the Test - With a Cardboard Box!
Demonstrating the strength of HPX in the most unexpected way - because real performance speaks for itself
When it comes to HPX Waterproofing for Flat Roofs, performance is everything. At Tricel Composites, we understand that roofing professionals need a solution that’s fast, reliable, and proven to work in real-world conditions.
To demonstrate just how effective HPX really is, our Technical Sales Representative, Adam, took a creative approach…
The Test: Cardboard vs. Water
Cardboard is famously not waterproof. It absorbs water, warps, and breaks down quickly when exposed to moisture. So what happens when you coat the inside of a cardboard box with HPX and pour in a full bucket of water?
Absolutely nothing.
No leaking. No dripping. Just reliable, watertight protection.
This simple yet powerful demonstration shows just how impenetrable HPX becomes once applied — even on a surface as fragile as cardboard.
Watch the full video of Adam’s test below.
Why HPX Waterproofing for Flat Roofs is a Game Changer.
While the cardboard box was just a visual test, HPX is engineered for real-world roofing applications. Here’s why it’s trusted by professionals across the industry:
- Instant Waterproofing – Creates a seamless, watertight barrier on application.
- Versatile Application – Adheres to a wide range of substrates including concrete, timber, and existing roofing membranes.
- Durable & Long-Lasting – Withstands harsh weather conditions and UV exposure.
- Easy to Apply – Ideal for both new builds and repair work.
Built for the Real World
Whether you’re working on a domestic flat roof, a commercial property, or a quick repair job, HPX delivers peace of mind and professional-grade performance.
If it can waterproof a cardboard box, imagine what it can do for your next roofing project.
