Aquashield

Resene AquaShield is a high-mineral-content, super-hydrophobic, water-repellent coating designed to impart water-shedding properties to porous building materials. It combines the water-repellent properties of silicones with a special surface microstructure, significantly reducing the contact area for water and dirt. This results in dirt particles adhering loosely and being more easily carried away by raindrops, leaving a dry and attractive facade. 

Key Features:

• High Mineral Content: Provides a durable and attractive flat mineral effect finish, ideal for heritage, art deco, Santa Fe, and Mediterranean-style homes and buildings.

• Super Hydrophobic: Imparts water-shedding properties, enhancing the longevity and appearance of building exteriors.

   

• Breathable: Allows the building to 'breathe,' enabling water vapors from inside to pass through the paint film to the exterior.

Typical Uses:

• Heritage Buildings: Ideal for restoring and maintaining the aesthetic of older structures.

   

• Art Deco and Mediterranean Styles: Enhances the classic look of these architectural styles.

  
  

• Porous Building Materials: Suitable for brick, concrete block, fibrous cement, natural stone, poured concrete, stucco, and tilt slab surfaces.

   

Application Tips:

• Surface Preparation: Ensure the surface is in sound condition, dry, and free from dirt, dust, loose material, oil, and salt. Remove accumulated windblown salt by washing with Resene Paint Prep and Housewash. For heavy contamination, scrub down with Resene Emulsifiable Solvent Cleaner.

  
  

• Application Method: Resene AquaShield is suitable for brush, roller, or spray application. Apply in two coats, allowing the first coat to dry before applying the second.

• Drying Time: Allow a minimum of 45 minutes drying time between coats.
