ELASTRONG PAINT GUM

Elastomeric paint with matt effect, water-repellent, resistant to light, bad weather and polluting agents, prevents the formation of mold and algae. It is indicated for the renovation of historic centers, villas, residential complexes and, in general, for the protection and restoration of all wall surfaces with cracking or crazing problems.

Technical Qualities
ELASTRONG PAINT GUM by OIKOS is a matt and elastic coating for exterior surfaces. The product contains acrylic elastomeric resins in water dispersion, giving to the product outstanding elasticity, weatherability, water-repellence, light stability and resistance to pollution. Furthermore, the product prevents the formation of mould and algae. Surfaces treated with ELASTRONG PAINT GUM maintain their capour permeability and are easily washable. The product remains elastic over time, even when subject to frost-thaw cycles and U.V rays. ELASTRON PAINT GUM by OIKOS is recommended for protecting and restoring historical centers, villas, residential complexes and all wall surfaces in general, especially those subject to cracking or fissures. ELASTRONG PAINT GUM can be used on its own, applying two coats, however for maximum efficiency it is advisable to carry out the full cycle of one coat of ELASTRONG GUM  and one coat of ELASTRONG PAINT GUM. In  case a better prevention against algae and mould is needed we suggest the addition of the specific sanitizing product STERYLPLUS. The product has a low odour level, is non-inflammable and is friendly to both humans and the environment.

Ideal Use
Interior walls that are subject to crack and fissures.

Surface Preparation
On old surfaces or surfaces with existing layers of paint, remove or wash away all loose or flaking material, smog stains, dust or dirt. Apply one coat of the special primer NEOKRYLL by OIKOS. Wait 4-6 hours until dry. New surfaces must be thoroughly dry and mature, on new surfaces then apply one coat of the primer BLANKOR by OIKOS to improve the adhesion and render the absorption homogeneous. Wait 6-8 until dry.
