Hebrew term or phrase: פוליגג
I think this is some sort of tar, roof coating/sealant.
Anyone know the exact translation?

Polyroof

Flexible acrylic coating for sealing and whitening roofs - the most innovative product in the field. Made of highly resistant acrylic resins which, after application, become an elastic protective sheet, preventing moisture, warming and penetration of ultra-violet rays from the sun. The ideal roof sealing product.
Poliroof has excellent adhesive qualities on a great many surfaces, among them exposed concrete, bitumenic coatings, asbestos sheets, tar and polyurethane foam. Creates absolute sealing against water and moisture; its elasticity prevents cracking for at least 5 years; easy to apply, even on complex surfaces, and requires no seams; voids the need for regular whitewashing of the roof and reduces the general temperature in the structure.

It seems that Hebrew "פוליגג" is the literal translation from English "Polyroof"

PolyGag


Explanation:
I think that this is a trademark and not a name of specific material or mixture. According to Tamabor it is Acrylic based material.

Asker: Thanks, you are probably right but I went with Polyroof, since the word "gag" comes out sounding completely different in English!
