Description
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.
Purpose
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.
Types
One type only.
Applications
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.
SABS
An SABS 2000 hour artificial weathering test report is available on request.
Specifying

Site Work
Storage
Can be stored, unopened, for 12 months. Protect from freezing.
Surface preparation
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.
Weather
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.
Mixing
Stir well before use. A little water may be added if necessary.
Application
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.
Maintenance
Surfaces treated with Thermoplastic Coating can be cleaned using scrubbing brushes, detergent and cold water.
Coverage
Approximately 6m2/litre/coat.
Packaging
Supplied in 5 litre and 20 litre non-returnable drums.
