Application

Equally suitable for new and existing structures as well as:

  • Atmospherically exposed (non-trafficked) reinforced concrete structures from attack by acid gases, chloride ions, oxygen and water, especially dangers of subsequent cracks appearing within the substrate.
  • Other cementitious substrates and masonry.
  • All types of structures, including those in coastal environments.

Description

The Dekguard Elastic system comprises a single component penetrating silane-siloxane primer and a single component elastomeric pigmented coating, both ready for immediate site use. Features and benefits include:

  • Can accommodate substrate cracking up to 6mm. and cyclic movement up to 1 mm.
  • True elastomeric coating with excellent elongation and recovery properties which are maintained at sub-zero temperatures.
  • Excellent barrier to carbon dioxide, chloride ions, oxygen and water.
  • Special acrylic polymer minimises dirt retention.
  • Allows water vapour to escape from the structure.
  • UV-resistant with high resistance to the effects of long-term weathering.
