WALLGARD
DAMPROOFING / ANTI-FUNGAL SYSTEM
Specifications
DESCRIPTION:
Wallgard coatings, when
applied over walls and wooden structures (either
clear or pigmented ), form an elastic, abrasion resistant, anti
fungal protective film that eliminates water seepage. If required,
decorative paints (solvent
based or water based emulsions) can also be applied over them.
They increase the life of the plastered/wooden surfaces, and do not
allow paint to peel off. Their special formulation and inherent properties
of the material retards growth of fungus and thereby reduces the frequency
of re-painting considerably.
USES:
This system can be used on
plastered walls, cement pointing, brick walls, stone walls, wooden doors
and windows of bathrooms/toilets and houses
APPLICATION:
Wallgard can be applied in two
ways : (a) As a coloured coating-by applying a mixture of Wallgard 10 and
Wallgard 30 over the surface. These coatings have good ultraviolet
resistance and are used for outdoor as well as indoor damproofing
applications. (b) As a transparent coating-by applying only Wallgard 10
over the surface. Transparent Wallgard 10 coatings have excellent
antifungal properties together with damproofing properties and are highly
recommended for anti-fungal applications. They are, however, not
recommended for applications requiring direct exposure to sunlight unless
an additional coat to paint (either polyurethane or oil or cement based)
is applied over them. In both cases the surface should be dry and all
loose particles should be removed by wire brushing and sand papering. Any
oil or grease on the surface should be removed by means of de-greasing
solvents or emulsifiers. For plastered walls all cracks and joints should
be filled up with Ezefil crack/joint filling compound.
