SURFACE PROTECTION SYSTEM
Protection against water, abrasion, stains and chemicals. Water-vapour permeable to support moisture release from concrete.
Surface protection systems protect surfaces against abrasion, dirt, chemicals and water. Selecting the appropriate system depends on the intended application as well as the type, condition and properties of the substrate.
An important consideration is water-vapour permeability. Applying a vapour-tight coating to a substrate containing moisture can lead to problems. ARCAN therefore distinguishes between water-vapour permeable and vapour-tight coatings, topcoats and impregnations.
Vapour-tight coatings are generally not suitable for damp, unsealed substrates. Typical applications include private garages, industrial floors and parking garages. Water-vapour permeable systems are particularly suitable for mineral substrates where moisture and water vapour need to pass through the coating.
The Silox EPW system comprises coatings, repair compounds and primers designed for use as a coordinated system.
Surface protection systems include a wide range of products such as floor coatings, topcoats, impregnations, sealing systems, slurry membranes and liquid-applied membranes.
