Concrete and Masonry Coatings

Use

• Above grade, exterior application on buildings or civil engineering structures.
• It is designed to aesthetically enhance and protect concrete and other masonry substrates subject to normal hydrothermal, (non crack-inducing) movement.

Characteristics and Advantages

• Easy to apply, typically self-priming and cost-effective.
• Extremely resistant to dirt pick-up and mildew.
• Excellent resistance to carbon dioxide and other aggressive gas diffusion.
• Prevents ingress of chlorides and water-borne salts.
• Vapour permeable; allows two-way water vapour diffusion (breathable).
• Excellent UV and weathering resistance.
• An environmentally-friendly, low-VOC containing and water-based coating.
• Ministry of Transport Québec acceptance.

Colour

463 standard colours. Custom colour-matching available.

Packaging

18.9 L (5 US gal.) resealable pail

Use

• Protect and seal brick, block or concrete against the ingress of water.
• Protect and seal low traffic bearing areas.

Characteristics and Advantages

• Supplied ready to use, no additions or dilution required.
• Easy to apply, typically self priming and therefore economical.
• Excellent weathering performance, resisting ultra violet light, wind erosion and general exposure.
• Effective barrier to the ingress of water, carbon dioxide, pollutants and chloride ions.
• Resistant to a wide range of weak acidic and alkaline solutions.
• Breathable, allowing vapour diffusion in accordance with building physics.
• Good inter-coat adhesion allows for repair and simple re-coating after cleaning.
• East to clean and clear ‘wet look’ decorative properties, particularly as long term sealer for stone/concrete or exposed aggregate surfaces, or for low traffic areas such as driveways.
• Approved by Alberta Transportation as a Type 2a clear coating suitable for use on non-traffic bearing surfaces, such as parapets and curbs.
• Complies with the VOC legislation.
