Cementitious Coating - Sikagard® FlexCoat
Two-component, polymer-modified, waterproof, cement-based coating system
Sikagard® FlexCoat is a polymerized cementitious protective coating. It consists of a unique rubber-like polymer liquid (Part A) mixed at the time of application with a cement aggregate blend (Part B).
- It can be applied over almost any clean, sound surface e.g. concrete, block, masonry, etc. for a number of different floor, wall and roof uses.
- Extraordinary adhesion coupled with its ability to withstand prolonged pedestrian and light vehicular traffic. In these respects, the material is far superior to conventional cementitious coatings.
- Provides a waterproof coating which substantially reduces or prevents water penetration, freeze-thaw scaling and concrete carbonation.
- “Breathable” coating which releases normal entrapped vapor without loosening or blistering.
- Available in natural cement color.
- Sikalastic® Traffic Systems can be top coated with Sikagard® FlexCoat cement based systems.
Usage
- Balcony deck surfacing
- Concrete exterior restoration
- Sidewalk resurfacing
- Wall refinishing and installation coating
