Overview

Blocks the cause. Not just the symptom.

Anti-Carbonation Coating is an elastomeric acrylic protective coating that forms a tough, flexible film over concrete substrates. The cured film blocks CO2 and chloride ion ingress while remaining vapour-permeable.

Standard specification on façade refurbishment contracts. Multiple colour options available for architectural matching.

Key Features

  • CO2 diffusion resistance SD ≥ 50 m
  • Crack-bridging up to 0.3 mm dynamic
  • Vapour permeable – substrate can breathe
  • UV stable – does not chalk or fade
  • Wide colour range available
  • EN 1504-2 surface protection certified
