DECADEX
Decadex is a self cleaning,
highly durable, copolymer based coating which cures to form
a tightly adherent, decorative weatherproof membrane. This
high performance wall coating has a long international track
record of effectiveness which spans 30 years. Decadex applications
can be guaranteed for up to 15 years and many examples have
lasted well in excess of their anticipated durability. As
a waterborne system, it is free from strong odour and toxic
risk and may be cleaned from brushes and spray equipment
using only clean water. The Decadex membrane will tolerate
thermal movement in the substrate without splitting or cracking
and will retain its elastomeric properties even after prolonged
exposure to ultra-violet light. It may be reinforced using
Reemat glass fibre matting or Reemat Flexitape and is capable
of bridging cracks or joints between different substrates.
Available in a wide range of matt colours, Decadex's chemical
and pollution-resistant surface has been specially engineered
to shed dirt, ensuring that it retains a bright, attractive
appearance throughout its life. It is vapour permeable and
allows entrapped substrate moisture to escape without causing
blistering or delamination. Finally, it produces an effective
barrier to carbon dioxide diffusion and therefore provides
reinforced concrete with an excellent defence against the
harmful effects of carbonation.
MONOLASTEX
SMOOTH
Monolastex Smooth
is a water based, weatherproof coating designed to keep
long term costs to an absolute minimum. Suitable for use
over all common substrates, both internal and external,
it is certified by the BBA and, as a two coat application,
lasts at least 15 years before its first maintenance. In
many instances it may be used without primers and will cure
extremely rapidly under normal conditions, often enabling
two coats to be applied on the same working day. Available
in a wide range of matt colours, it will obliterate even
strong underlying colours due to its high opacity. Furthermore,
it contains an active fungistatic system which prevents
the growth of mould, fungus and algae on its surface, and
therefore retains a bright, clean appearance throughout
its design life. Like Decadex, Monolastex Smooth will not
embrittle with age or UV exposure, tolerates thermal movements
in the substrate and, when applied over reinforced concrete,
confers effective protection against carbonation.
MONOLASTEX
TEXTURED
Monolastex Textured
is a highly textured, flexible waterborne copolymer coating
which produces a tough, waterproof coating suitable for
internal and external applications. The textured film will
not flake or chip but will allow high levels of entrapped
substrate moisture to escape without causing blistering
or delamination. The coating is rich in polymer and encapsulates
the individual textured particles without leaving thin areas
over the particle peaks - normally an area of weakness in
conventional textured finishes. The result is a flexible,
hard-wearing finish with an attractive silk sheen. It is
particularly well suited for hiding surface defects and
may be used as a top coat as part of a reinforced system
incorporating Reemat glass fibre matting or Reemat Flexitape.
It may therefore be used over areas which are particularly
susceptible to vibration or thermal movement.
MONOLASTEX
RE
Monolastex RE
is an exceptionally elastomeric, high build, waterborne
coating designed to accommodate movement and cracking in
structures. The coating is cured by exposure to the UV radiation
present in sunlight, developing a surface skin which is
relatively harder than the bulk of the coating beneath.
Thus, it has a hard wearing surface but the underlying coating
is comparatively mobile, tolerating pronounced movement
without cracking or splitting. Similarly, as more material
is gradually exposed due to natural erosion, the hard surface
is maintained. The coating dries rapidly to a matt finish
and retains its elasticity both at very low temperatures
and in extremes of heat, protecting substrates against weathering,
water ingress and aggressive atmospheric chemicals. In addition,
it also provides an effective barrier to carbonation when
applied over reinforced concrete. Monolastex RE exhibits
excellent colour retention, has a dirt resistant surface
and complies with international technical standards such
as the French AFNOR P84 which requires high water vapour
transmission, self priming capability and low temperature
crack bridging properties.
SILCABOND
SP
Silcabond SP
is a single pack, water based silicate coating which, unlike
traditional alternatives, may be used straight from the
can without the need for diluents or other additives. On
application, it reacts in situ to form a micro-crystalline
chemical bond with unpainted mineral substrates such as
concrete, brickwork or masonry - in effect, becoming an
integral part of the substrate itself. Based on inorganic
mineral components, the system provides an aesthetic, hard
wearing matt finish which is highly fire retardant, halogen
free and exhibits ultra low smoke emission. Curing rapidly
with virtually no odour, the coating forms an anti-condensation
surface and is suitable for both internal and external use.
In addition, it exhibits minimal dirt retention and incorporates
a non-toxic fungistatic system to inhibit the growth of
mould, algae and other micro-organisms. It resists natural
weathering, UV degradation and tolerates prolonged exposure
to industrial pollutants without any loss of performance
or durability. Similarly, it will withstand freeze/thaw
cycling, and its very high vapour permeability enables damp
substrates to dry out without causing blistering or delamination.
Note: For additional protection against water ingress, porous
surfaces may first be treated with K501. Alternatively,
K501 may be applied over dry Silcabond SP. Consult our Technical
Sales Department for further details.
Isoclad
PCM is a highly advanced waterborne, polyurethane based
coating which is designed for the refurbishment of pre-coated
metal cladding. It confers years of weatherproof, maintenance
free protection whilst providing an attractive, hard-wearing,
sheen finish which incorporates an anti-microbial system
to combat the growth of unsightly mould on its surface.
As Isoclad PCM has low volatile organic content (VOC), it
cures without the release of hazardous solvents or odour
and also prevents many of the problems associated with moisture
cure polyurethanes on the market, such as bubbling and pin-holing.
Suitable for application to virtually all pre-coated cladding,
including PVC Plastisol, it resists UV degradation and exhibits
excellent colour retention. Available in a wide selection
of colours specifically matched to those colours most often
used on pre-coated metal cladding, special colours can also
be produced to allow the replication of individual company
corporate colours for example.
DECOTHANE
CLEARGLAZE
Decothane Clearglaze
is a clear aliphatic, polycarbonate polyurethane coating
which forms an effective barrier to water penetration and
the ingress of atmospheric chemicals. Its transparent finish
renders it suitable for applications where it is desirable
to retain the appearance of the underlying substrate. It
is particularly suitable for protecting porous stone, decorative
aggregate panels and brickwork against water penetration
and subsequent frost damage. In addition, it provides an
effective barrier to carbon dioxide diffusion, making it
ideal for protecting reinforced concrete against carbonation.
Decothane Clearglaze
has a high solids formulation which uses moisture to trigger
the curing process but, unlike conventional moisture cured
systems, will not foam when excess moisture is present.
Consequently, it will continue to cure normally, even in
wet conditions and therefore helps to keep contract time
to a minimum. The cured membrane enhances natural substrate
colours - producing a "wet look" finish which will not discolour
with age or prolonged UV exposure. Decothane Clearglaze
is also suitable for use as a waterproof, anti-shatter coating
over glass and rooflights.
K501
MASONRY WATERPROOFING SOLUTION
Designed as a
surface impregnating solution for porous substrates such
as brick, masonry and concrete, K501 Masonry Waterproofing
Solution is a water based silane siloxane compound with
outstanding waterproofing properties and a high degree of
durability. Once applied, it is virtually invisible and
therefore allows the natural appearance and texture of the
substrate to be maintained. It rapidly becomes water repellent
and, as a further benefit, it also helps to reduce dirt
retention on the surface. In addition, it does not suppress
the natural vapour permeability of the underlying material,
so moisture is able to escape and the substrate is able
to dry out. Consequently, it avoids the problems associated
with entrapped moisture such as freeze/thaw attack. Furthermore,
unlike conventional solutions which tend to form on the
surface, K501 penetrates deeply into the substrate, and
so remains largely unaffected by surface abrasion, weathering
and UV induced deterioration. Similarly, it remains stable
and is not prone to slow outward diffusion. As a result,
it lasts longer and confers a greater degree of waterproof
protection than traditional alternatives.
