Specialist Coatings
Introduction
Specialist coatings can restore surfaces back to original profiles, offer enhanced protection against aggressive environments and give projects the final decorative fishes required.
Cementitious, epoxy resins, acrylic resins, silane- siloxane , polyurethane, oil and water based products are available, designed to suit almost any application.
Cementitious Renders
Used to re-profile defective or eroded concrete, level existing surfaces and give extra cover and protection to embedded steel reinforcement. Can be used to render large areas
Levelling and Brush Coats
Used for filling blowholes and to give a fair faced finish and also give repaired areas an aesthetic uniform appearance or to act as a base for further coatings.
Sacrificial Graffiti Coatings
These coloured or clear coatings are applied in layers which can be pressure washed clean taking away a layer of the coating and any graffiti or dirt/ grime with it.
Tanking
Waterproofing coatings applied to basements, swimming pools, damp areas etc to prevent the ingress of water. Some systems can be used internally avoiding the need for major earthworks.
Waterproofing / Impregnating Solutions
Used to seal surfaces where water penetration could prove detrimental, such as the freeze thaw action of water in the structure causing breaking away or spalling of the surfaces.
Corrosion Inhibiting Coatings
Liquid migrating solutions which penetrate the concrete and form a protective layer around the steel reinforcement preserving the steel bars.
Bund Linings
Coating normally applied in several layers which protect the structure against potentially harmful substances such as petrol and other fuels, effluent , and other noxious and aggressive chemicals.
Hygiene Coatings
Tough hard-wearing coatings for use in industrial, chemical, food industry environments
Anti-Carbonation Coatings
Coloured and clear coatings available which give excellent anti-carbonation protection, with the coloured coatings giving a hard wearing decorative finish.
Elastomeric Coatings
Most elastomeric coatings also have anti-carbonation qualities but also have crack accommodating abilities as well.
