Product Overview
DESCRIPTION
Biosymph’s GloTex™ CPM (Co-Polymer Membrane) has been designed to meet the needs of the future. This product is an aqueous APEO (Alkylphenol ethoxylates) AND FORMALDEHYDE FREE Acrylate copolymer bitumen modified, fumed silica filled textural compound, used for flexible interior/exterior coatings.
This coating has an UV curable and cross linkable component which is initiated when the film surface is exposed to sunlight/UV, thus increasing the durability and performance. This cross-linking feature will also act as a self-repairing mechanism making this product ideal for filled textural coatings.
This coating has good anti-carbonation and adhesion to a wide range of substrates and is ideal as a textural concrete or ceiling paint with very good dirt resistance, while allowing water vapor permeability.
GloTex™ is specifically designed as a textural ceiling / concrete coating. It will provide a strong, durable long-lasting and effective finish. Its remarkable flexibility ensures durability and resilience and boasts fast drying properties and offers excellent adhesion to a wide range of substrates. Moreover, its water washup feature adds convenience to the application process.
GloTex™ has been specifically but not exclusively formulated to act as a topcoat over bitumen-based sealers such as Biosymph’s GilsoFlex™ and FlexsoTar™ products for concrete surfaces. The chemistry used in this coating maximises performance with excellent durability. This product is non-toxic, filled with cellulose fibers, and can safely be used in applications where it comes into contact with drinkable water, animals and children.
GloTex™ is formulated to penetrate the surface, filling any gaps and creating a uniform textural topcoat finish. This helps to enhance the durability and longevity of the coating system and offers excellent aesthetic results.
- 4ltr will cover approximately 4 to 8 Square Meters
- 10ltr will cover approximately 10 to 20 Square Meters
- 20ltr will cover approximately 20 to 40 Square Meters
GloTex™ is intended primarily for surface application by rolling with a special textural paint roller and brush.
A re-coat might be required after 10+ years.
We do carry our own standard colour range but please ask via "eMail" if you would like us to match a specific colour for you, and we will advise.
FEATURES
GloTex™ interior / exterior concrete paint is a versatile paint with remarkable flexibility that ensures durability and resilience. It boasts fast drying properties and offers excellent adhesion to a wide range of substrates and can be used in a wide range of applications:
