BIOCOMPACT ELASTIC

Elastomeric coating with compact acrylsiloxane spatulate effect that does not create a film during the drying stage. It prevents the formation of algae and mould, is water-repellent, breathable and with excellent adherence even on the most challenging substrates such as ceramic and glass. Available in three grain sizes: 1.0-1.2-1.5. Available in 600 hues resistant to the action of UV rays.

Technical Qualities
BIOCOMPACT ELASTIC by OIKOS is a continuous elastic coating with a compact, troweled finish, formulated in three grain sizes of 1, 1.2 and 1.5 mm, respectively called BIOCOMPACT ELASTIC 10, BIOCOMPACT ELASTIC 12 and BIOCOMPACT ELASTIC 15. The product is composed of special acrylic elastomeric silanized resins with siloxanic modification in water dispersion that give the product an exceptional resistance to  atmosperic agents, to acid pollutants, to U.V. rays and to frost-thaw cycles. Grains of marble and sand in selected grain sizes and titanium dioxide based fillers give the  product great coverage and an elegant aesthetic effect. BIOCOMPACT ELASTIC has remarkable in-filling properties, great coverage and excellent water repellence and maintains a good level of vapour permeability of the support. Its special elasticity is obtained thanks to the use of special acrylic elastomeric resins and to the addition of synthetic fibres which make BIOCOMPACT ELASTIC particularly flexible and suitable for use for restoration and protection of wall surfaces that have been damaged  by exfoliation and cracking. Further to this the product prevents the formation of mould and algae. For greater protection against mould and algae it is advisable to add the special sanitising additive STERYLPLUS to the product. The product has a low odour level, is non inflammable and is friendly to both humans and the environment. Compliant with CAM (Minimum Environmental Criteria), lll level certification. EPD.

Ideal Use
Exterior walls.

Surface Preparation
Surfaces must be even and without imperfections, dry and thoroughly mature. New plasters should be left to mature for at least 30 days to allow for the complete carbonation of the support. Brush the surface or remove paint from it in order to remove any loose or flaking material: in the case of restoration works, water infiltrations  or leakages must be repaired before application. Apply the indicated primer BLANKOR by OIKOS. Wait 6-8 hours before applying the finish.

Application Method
Using an inox steel trowel, apply an even coat of BIOCOMPACT ELASTIC with the thickness of the coat dictated by the size of the grain of the product. Following this, using the same tool, proceed to smooth over the surface in circular motions.

Safety Information
The product is free of heavy metals such as lead or chrome. It does not contain toxic solvents, aromatics or chlorides. There is no risk of any dangerous polymerisation. The product is considered to be a non-dangerous substance if used in the technically correct manner. Normal cautionary measures for the handling of water based paints are advised. No special arrangements are required for the storage, movement and transportation of the product; the containers, residue, eventual spilt material should be cleaned up using absorbent inert material such as sand, soil etc. and then disposed of in accordance with the regional and national regulations in force at that time.
