Thermoplastic Coating

A tough, thermoplastic, textured, weatherproof coating. Contains Mica and silica for maximum film protection against ultra-violet light and weather abrasion. Supplied ready for use.

To provide a super durable colourful coating for walls. Being thermoplastic and specially formulated, this coating holds well over fine crazing to prevent water entering the structure.

One type only.

Can be applied to exterior or interior walls of industrial, commercial or domestic buildings. It is especially suited to high-rise structures where frequent renovations are costly. Ideal for treating concrete structures to improve aesthetics and protect the re-inforcing. Not suitable for

use in water-containing structures.

An SABS 2000 hour artificial weathering test report is available on request.

"Cemcrete Thermoplastic Coating applied in two coats with a minimum six hour interval to hard surfaces which are free from grease, organic growths or anything which might prevent adhesion. All in strict accordance with the manufacturer's instructions."

A trial area should be treated on-site for the architect's approval.

Can be stored, unopened, for 12 months. Protect from freezing.

Organic growths should be removed by brushing with a solution of 1 volume household bleach (sodium hyperchlorite) solution and 3 volumes water. Allow 12 hours to kill spores then remove with a wire brush and water. Allow the surface to dry completely before applying Thermoplastic Coating. Flaking, friable, chalking and soft surfaces must be scraped and wire-brushed to a firm foundation before priming with a solution of 1 volume CemBond and 4 volumes water. A small amount of Thermoplastic Coating, say one half part, can be incorporated in the priming coat for tinting purposes. Cracks and voids to be filled with Cemcrete Crack Filler, sanded level and re-primed with the CemBond solution.

Do not apply to exterior surfaces if rain is expected or if there is a risk of frost.

Masking

For best results all windows, doors and adjacent surfaces should be masked using masking tape and brown paper. All masking material must be removed at the end of the day's work.

Stir well before use. A little water may be added if necessary.

Application is by brush or lambs wool roller. A plastic sponge roller can be used for finishing where a thicker, slightly stippled texture is desired. Wash brushes and rollers with clean water.

Surfaces treated with Thermoplastic Coating can be cleaned using scrubbing brushes, detergent and cold water.

Approximately 6m2/litre/coat.

Supplied in 5 litre and 20 litre non-returnable drums.
