Description:

A Polish research team offers a new kind of acrylic system for painting new façades and renovating old and unpainted building façades (concrete substrate, plasters). This new acrylic system for painting building façades being restored is applied the substrate should be dry. The non-adherent and flaking coats of old paint should be removed. The paint can be applied using brushes or air sprayed. For painting new façades: one layer of acrylic penetrating sealer and then two layers of acrylic paint is applied. For renovation over old coats of paint: two layers of acrylic paint are needed.

Innovative Aspects:
Easy to apply using various painting methods
Possible to apply during unfavourable atmospheric conditions
Excellent adhesion to substrate
Penetrating sealer reinforces unpainted plasters.

Main Advantages:
Very good resistance to atmospheric conditions including acid rain and UV radiation
Alkali resistant
Very good mechanical properties (scrub resistance, abrasion resistance)
Vapour permeability of coats
Good protection against water
