What is the NEVERPAINTAGAINâ„¢ exterior wall coating product made of?

1. MICA

Used in the paint industry as a lubricant and extender preventing cracking and improving adherence to the substrate. Mica particles align themselves in the paint film itself, similar in nature to the scales on the body of a fish, forming an exceptionally durable and weather resistant surface to the wall coating.

2. ALKYD RESIN

Used in the production of decorative and architectural paints, this special resin is notable for its rapid initial drying. Even when applied in thick individual coats, the films produced are flawless in appearance. This also gives excellent flexibility, elasticity and PREVENTION AGAINST CRACKING. Alkyd resin also exhibits resistance to yellowing, which is a common occurrence in many traditional exterior paints and wall coating products on the market today.

3. POLYFIBRE

Milled fibre flocks are used as reinforcing FILLER and structuring agent to provide improved application properties and non-slump characteristics in thick coating films, especially on vertical surfaces and gives better protection on corners and sharp angles. Film strength, flexibility and resistance to cracking are improved by incorporating these flocks into the formulation of all Never Paint Againâ„¢ exterior spray applied masonry coating products.

4. FUNGICIDE

The fungicide used in the NEVER PAINT AGAINâ„¢ exterior wall coating system, is a highly active, broad spectrum antimicrobial agent that does not contain mercury. Its higher viscosity and fine particle dispersion is specifically formulated so as not to discolour due to interactions with various elements that may be present in some paint formulations. Fungicide will not cause any undesirable weathering effects such as chalking, fading or discoloration and is also highly effective against a broad spectrum of fungal and algae species typically found growing on some painted surfaces.

5. TITANIUM DIOXIDE

Titanium dioxide (Chemical element symbol TiO2) is a multi faceted, photo responsive material. In addition to its light scattering abilities, TiO2 absorbs UV light energy. As a white pigment, TiO2, is widely used for its efficiency in “scattering” visible light and imparting whiteness, brightness and opacity when incorporated into paint products.

Light scattering is accomplished by the refraction and diffraction of light as it passes through or near pigment particles, however the ability of TiO2 to absorb UV light energy can provide significant improvements in durability and weatherability of polymer products such as this. This product has established the use ofTiO2 in applications where chalking stability and colour retention are essential.

6. AQUA RESIN

A medium fine particle size, cellulose ether stabilised, vinyl acetate copolymer dispersion agent, designed for use in many high quality masonry paints. With excellent durability, high resistance to alkali and low hydroplasty which reduces water uptake leading to lower dirt pick up, especially in the textured coating products we offer. It has excellent universal colorant acceptance and displays excellent flexibility characteristics.

7. PERLITE

A natural volcanic glass type substance, made by rapid cooling of molten rock (lava) and the spherical cracks, which cause it to break into small pebbles.. This moisture within forms tiny steam bubbles under heat of between 1,500 and 2,000 degrees Fahrenheit and the perlite is expands from 15 to 20 times its original volume giving excellent aggregated insulation properties.

8. PLIOLITEâ„¢ RESIN

A Newtonian thermoplastic resin styrene-acrylate copolymer. It has good UV light resistance, excellent adhesion and superb weathering properties. The micro particles of pliolite masonry resin penetrate very easily into the underlying surfaces. This not only anchors the paint film to the substrate but also gives excellent durability and outstanding water resistance.

9. SILICONE

An aqueous, solvent free silicone resin is used to prevent water and damp ingress into the substrate. Water is prevented from penetrating into the masonry from the outside but moisture that has accumulated inside the property is free to escape, acting in a fashion similar to the human skin. Furthermore, the silicone resin maintains a dry, hydrophobic zone beneath the finish and suppresses capillary moisture transport throughout the billions of voids within the substrate. Harmful salts and alkalinity in the construction materials therefore have no chance of breaking through the surface.

10. OPTIGEL

Optigel products are thrixotrophic agents based on bentonite. The silicate lamella is able to build up a “cardhouse” structure due to their inherent “platelet” structure. This leads to a viscosity increase under low shear conditions, at rest it brings about a yield point. Movement therefore is rather low. When movement stops, the “house of cards” structure returns to its original condition so viscosity and yield value recover. The advantages are lower synersis, less settling of pigments, reduced “sag” upon application, less dripping, higher paint film thickness and better overall coating properties.
