Everest Systems Offers Safer Alternative Amid MEKO Carcinogen Concerns

In response to growing health and regulatory concerns surrounding oxime-based silicone coatings, Everest Systems reaffirmed its commitment to safety and innovation by offering MEKO-free solutions through its advanced alkoxy-based silicone technologies, under the brand name Silkoxy. Everest Systems is one of very few manufacturers in the United States that currently offers an alkoxy based silicone roof coating formulation. Recent industry findings have identified methyl ethyl ketoxime (MEKO), the byproduct produced during the cure of all oxime-based roof coatings, as a Category 1B carcinogen. MEKO, also known as 2-butanone oxime (CAS Registry Number: 96-29-7), is typically released at concentrations of more than 4% from oxime roof coatings and has been linked to significant health risks. In the European Union, MEKO is classified as a carcinogenic, mutagenic, or reprotoxic (CMR) substance and is banned under REACH Annex XVII in consumer products at levels as low as 0.1%. Major manufacturers, including Dow Chemical, have announced plans to phase out MEKO emissions from consumer and professional products by 2028, and from industrial applications by 2030. MEKO-free formulations not only prevent exposure to carcinogenic substances, but they also eliminate the strong and unpleasant oxime odor that can lead to concerns and complaints from building occupants during application.

From Below-Grade to Rooftop: Polyglass Showcases Integrated Waterproofing Solutions at World of Concrete 2026

Deerfield Beach, FL – December 22, 2025 – Polyglass U.S.A., Inc. will showcase its latest waterproofing systems and live demonstration experiences at World of Concrete 2026,

taking place January 20–22 at the Las Vegas Convention Center. With both indoor and outdoor exhibits, Polyglass will highlight how high-performance waterproofing solutions support durability across complex commercial and industrial structures.

At World of Concrete 2026, Polyglass will anchor its presence around Seal the Envelope™, emphasizing how waterproofing solutions work together across the full building envelope, from below-grade conditions to air and vapor control layers and roof transitions. Through hands-on demos and interactive testing, attendees will see how integrated waterproofing and envelope solutions stand up to harsh exposures and real-world demands across commercial structures.

Live Demos, Smash Zone, and System-Level Solutions
Polyglass will host live demonstrations at its Outdoor Demo Booth O31601, where attendees can see waterproofing systems applied in real time and speak directly with Polyglass technical experts. Demos will focus on performance under stress, application techniques, and system compatibility across a range of commercial conditions.

A key highlight of Polyglass’ World of Concrete presence will be the introduction of Drizone™ Commercial Systems, a new portfolio of waterproofing solutions designed for today’s most demanding commercial and industrial applications. The system includes:

  • Drizone™ Dek for horizontal deck waterproofing
  • Drizone™ Trak for pedestrian and vehicular surfacing
  • Drizone™ Hydrix for advanced below-grade and containment waterproofing

Together, these solutions provide a cohesive approach to managing water intrusion across multiple exposure zones within the building envelope.

Attendees can also step into the Polyglass Smash Zone, where they’re invited to put Tecnocoat-ed objects to the test themselves, delivering a hands-on, interactive look at extreme durability and impact resistance under real-world stress.

Connecting Waterproofing to the Full Building Envelope
To provide context around full building envelope performance, select roofing-related content from Polyglass’ International Roofing Expo (IRE) presence, including demos and educational highlights, will be featured within the WOC booth. Attendees can explore how roofing and waterproofing systems work together as part of a unified envelope strategy, without leaving the show floor.
