Flexi Guard
Water-based Acrylic-urethane Protective Coating
Homesure wShield Flexi Guard is a single-component, water-based acrylic-urethane protective coating for the maintenance and refurbishment of roof and external building surfaces where enhanced flexibility and durability are required. It cures to form a seamless protective film with improved flexibility and accomodates normal substrate movement under typical service conditions.
Features & Uses
Features:
- Acrylic-urethane hybrid coating
- Water-based, low odour formulation
- Ready to use — no on-site mixing required
- Forms a seamless protective film
- Flexible cured coating with improved flexibility accommodating normal substrate movement under typical service conditions
- Good adhesion to common roofing and construction substrates under suitable preparation conditions
- Suitable for horizontal and inclined surfaces
- Grey finish intended to provide resistance to normal UV and weather exposure under suitable conditions
- Suitable for brush, roller or spray application
Uses:
- Maintenance and refurbishment applications on roof and exposed building surfaces
- Balconies, terraces, podium decks, parapets, upstands and detailing areas
- Exposed concrete and compatible external surfaces where improved flexibility is required
