External decoration is time consuming and costly. It is not uncommon for redecorated properties – to the total dismay of the homeowner or specifier – to show signs of ageing and weathering long before completing their anticipated life span. There are many factors that contribute to the early breakdown of coatings, two of the most common are that the substrate was not correctly prepared prior to redecoration and inappropriate materials were used to treat external growths of moss, lichen and algae.
Over the past 20 years the problem of external growths has increased dramatically. As a result of the reduction in air pollution and carbon emissions there has been a huge increase in airborne spores of moss, lichen and algae and unless treated correctly will subsequently reduce the life expectancy of normal masonry paints. There are 100’s of varieties of algae and external growths which attack masonry surfaces, predominantly green or black, however, in certain areas of the UK there is a red algae called Trentepohlia aurea which is particularly virulent.
BIOCHECK ALLWEATHER Pliolite® resin-based masonry paint has been specifically formulated incorporating active biocides to provide long-term protection against these damaging and disfiguring growths. It is a superior masonry coating which provides protection against wind, driving rain, sun, temperature extremes and atmospheric pollution whilst at the same time retaining its decorative appearance.
BIOCHECK ALLWEATHER provides excellent adhesion to the building substrate and will penetrate and adhere to even the most difficult masonry surface without the need for a separate primer. The coating acts as a total barrier to rain, however, is micro-porous and will allow moisture in the wall to pass through the paint film without blistering. BIOCHECK ALLWEATHER is formulated in such a way that it is ”self-cleaning”. A few microns of the surface are regularly removed by rain which removes any retrained dirt but without affecting the life expectancy of the coating. BIOCHECK ALLWEATHER is an all-weather coating which allows application to continue in conditions and at the time of year when it would not be possible to proceed with traditional water-based masonry paints.
