To develop high performance impregnating and film forming products that truly exhibits excellent performance characteristics.
CoatMasters products are composed of environmentally friendly silicon modified emulsions designed for long term protection of construction materials against the destructive impacts of humidity, water penetration and chloride ions. These new waterborne emulsion formulations can now perform extremely well as traditional solvent borne coatings.
Hydrophobic silicones in particular have proved through more than 40 years of use to be highly effective in creating humidity barriers in building materials. Humidity and dampness are the main reasons for various forms of damage and unsightly appearance in buildings. The porous structure of different mineral construction materials gives them a high sensitivity towards water absorption. The destructive effects of freeze-thaw changes, erosion of the structure and micro-organisms which prosper in humid environments are well understood phenomena. The erosion of reinforcing steels in concrete construction can also be attributed to the corrosive effects of absorbed water, and may require expensive renovation. Efflorescence, washing out of lime and the growth of mosses, fungi, and algae all occur on wet surfaces. Finally, the thermal insulation of masonry is impaired under these wet conditions.
