Description:

The Dekguard E2000 system comprises a single component penetrating primer and a single component elastomeric pigmented coating both ready for immediate site use. The system is available with a choice of priming systems i.e. Nitobond AR or Nitoprime DG. Nitoprime DG a film forming stabilising primer may be utilised when chloride resistance is of primary importance. Nitoprime DG is supplied as a clear liquid and is based on an acrylic resin and a silane-siloxane dissolved in a penetrating organic carrier. The primer is reactive and capable of producing a chemically-bound hydrophobic barrier thus inhibiting the passage of water and waterbourne contaminants. A thin surface film is produced which consolidates and stabilises porous substances.

Uses:

To protect atmospherically exposed reinforced concrete structures from attack by acid gases chloride ions oxygen and water especially where there is a danger of subsequent cracks appearing within the substrate. Dekguard E2000 is suitable for use on all types of structures including those in coastal environments.

Advantages:

•  Can accommodate substrate cracking up to 2mm and cyclic movement up to 0.3mm
•  Excellent barrier to carbon dioxide chloride ions oxygen and water
•  Special acrylic polymer minimises dirt retention
•  Allows water vapour to escape from the structure
•  Resistant to the effects of ultra-violet light
•  Water-based
•  Range of decorative colours
