Brush roller or spray applied paint. System with a rubber base. High solvent content. |
| Strengths |
Excellent resistance to acids and alkalis, but not to solvents. Can be site applied. |
| Weaknesses |
Low resistance to heat (70 C). Very difficult to apply as solvent evaporates quickly making paint tacky. Very dependent on weather for external applications. Limited gloss and colour retention. Low abrasion resistance, poor impact resistance and only moderate hardness. |
| Durability |
Dependent on primers, 10 years outdoors. 5 Years in chemical environments. |
| Cost |
£30 per sqm (including shotblast and primer) |
