Facade protection Optimal protection and individual design

The main problem in industrial environments or in congested urban areas: Many facades have a tendency towards early discoloration and soiling. The two products Evocryl 200 and Concrete Acryl OS 859 with photo-catalytic self-cleaning counteract this: Organic substances such as dust and soot particles are chemically broken down – and facades look new longer.

How does photocatalysis work?

Sunlight releases electrons in the titanium dioxide pigment in the paint. These particles with a negative electrical charge accelerate the reduction and oxidation of the organic deposits on the surface of the coating: The dirt particles are broken down.

By the way: The catalytic converter in a car works in a similar manner. It breaks down toxic exhaust gases into harmless end products. Thanks to Evocryl 200 or Concrete Acryl OS 859, this decompositon process occurs repeatedly, also on coated facades – with no reduction in the effect

Algae and fungi are some of the hardiest living beings on earth. All they need is moisture and air to spread over a surface – even on stone, plastic, wood or glass. Also on facades they are a nuisance for home owners. Successful countermeasures: Brillux Protect and Brillux Hybrid Protect.

Brillux Protect is a unique, systematic protection concept against algal and fungal infestation – in all color shades and for all substrates, even wood. It provides impressive flexibility and design versatility: Are organic or mineral substrates affected? In light or intense color shades? The suitable material in Protect quality is available for every application. For coating exterior surfaces, you have the following options: Both our standard and Protect products create a high level of resistance to algal and fungal infestation with passive film protection.

Hybrid Protect provides natural protection against algae and fungi – with interlinked modes of action: the nutrient-free coating film in conjunction with the physically optimized water balance. Thanks to novel procedures, raw materials can be checked for nutrient content before they are used in facade paints and formula components can be classified: as prone to settlement and nutrient-rich or settlement-resistant and free from nutrients. This selection enables formulas to be created that do not provide a nutritive substrate for algae and fungus.

The physically optimized water balance of the Hybrid Protect products transports moisture quickly away from the coating surface: This open-pored facade protection allows water to seep into the substrate. The hydrophilic coating surface also prevents water drops from forming. There is no water film left that could act as a basis for algal growth.

If a roof is getting on in years, the question of a visual upgrade quickly arises. But does it always have to be new roofing? No, because with Tec-Up 22, you can easily generate appealing surfaces on undamaged roof surfaces. Aside from appearance, the Brillux roof paint has technical advantages such as long-lasting weather and color shade resistance.

The pure acrylic paint Tec-Up 22 produces robust surfaces. It offers both excellent stability and very good edge coverage at the same time.

Can be used on a wide variety of sloped roof surfaces

Tec-Up 22 is suitable for coating sloped roof surfaces and covers on numerous intact substrates. These are some examples:

• Weathered concrete roof tiles
• Asbestos-free fiber-cement sheets
• Factory-coated and/or galvanized trapezoidal sheets
• Engobed or glazed clay tiles
• Zinc sheets and claddings
• Aluminum sheets and claddings
• Lead flashings
• Concrete

Application could hardly be easier. The generally recommended two work phases for coating with Tec-Up 22 can be completed in one day, depending on the size of the roof surface. 
The roof paint can be applied efficiently by spraying. At the same time, it provides maximum safety. This is ensured by its early rain resistance and thus rapid recoatability.
