Description:

The Dekguard Elastic system comprises a single component penetrating primer and a single component elastomeric pigmented coating, both ready for immediate site use.
Dekguard Elastic is an elastomeric, water based protective coating based on a special acrylic polymer. It provides excellent elongation and recovery, low dirt pick-up, resistance to aggressive elements, UV light and rain. It is available in a wide range of colours.

Uses:

To protect atmospherically exposed reinforced concrete structures from attack by acid gases, chloride ions, oxygen and water, especially where there is a danger of subsequent cracks appearing within the substrate. The product is also suitable to protect other cementitious substrates and masonry. Dekguard Elastic is suitable for use on all types of structures, including those in coastal environments. It is equally suitable for new and existing structures. Dekguard Elastic is a component of Fosroc’s Renderoc system of concrete reinstatement and is suitable for repair principles1.3, 2.2, 8.2 as defined in BS EN1504-2.
