Elastomeric coating systems

TODO: owner confirm — PRODUCT NAME NOT CONFIRMED. 'Dulux Acratex Weathershield Flex' was not found in the current Dulux Acratex product range as of verification date. The Dulux Acratex elastomeric/high-build range includes products such as AcraShield Advance (Low Gloss/Matt/Concrete/Aluminium variants), Elastomeric 201, Acraskin, and AcraGuard — the correct elastomeric facade coating product must be confirmed with Dulux Acratex technical. Once the correct product is confirmed, all technical specifications (DFT, primer, system specification, and application details) must be sourced from the current Dulux Acratex TDS for that product. The primer reference 'Dulux Acratex Prep Coat' should also be confirmed as the primer is now 'AcraPrime 501' (for render cured 28+ days) or 'Green Render Sealer' (for render cured less than 28 days) in the current Acratex system.

Solver Permalastic is an elastomeric acrylic exterior coating for masonry and rendered facade surfaces requiring enhanced flexibility and waterproofing beyond standard exterior acrylics. The elastomeric binder allows the coating film to flex with the substrate through thermal cycling and minor movement, accommodating fine cracks without splitting or delaminating. Applied as a two-coat system over a compatible Solver exterior primer, Permalastic forms a durable flexible barrier on masonry and render facades. It is UV-resistant and suitable for residential and commercial strata exterior repainting where moisture resistance and minor crack tolerance are specification requirements. Solver has strong trade distribution in Victoria and eastern Australia. Confirm current product name, system specification, primer requirements, DFT, and coverage from the current Solver Permalastic TDS before specifying.

Taubmans Endure Exterior Flex is a flexible acrylic exterior topcoat with elastomeric properties for use on masonry and render facades requiring enhanced flexibility and waterproofing compared to standard exterior acrylics. The flexible binder system accommodates minor substrate movement and fine crack formation without splitting, providing a more durable coating performance on facades subject to temperature cycling and minor structural movement. Applied as a two-coat system over Taubmans exterior primer or alkali-resistant primer on cement render, Endure Exterior Flex includes anti-fungal additives and UV resistance suitable for Australian exterior conditions. Confirm current product name, primer specification, DFT, and system details from the current Taubmans product documentation before specifying — product range and naming may vary.

Nutech Nuvol is a high-performance elastomeric coating specifically developed for the Australian remedial building market. It is positioned as a specialist facade protection system for masonry, render, and concrete substrates on strata buildings requiring superior waterproofing, crack accommodation, and UV resistance in demanding Australian climatic conditions. Nutech is an Australian company with strong market positioning in the remedial and strata painting sector across NSW and Queensland. Nuvol is applied by brush, roller or spray as a high-build system over Nutech primers and provides a thick, flexible protective film that resists hydrostatic moisture penetration. It is particularly suited to commercial and multi-storey strata facades where durability, waterproofing, and long service life are specification priorities. Confirm current product specification, primer requirements, DFT, and system documentation from Nutech technical before specifying.

Sika Sikagard 545 W Elastocolor is a specialist elastomeric waterproof facade coating in the Sika professional remedial product range. It provides high elongation at break — enabling the coating to bridge fine and hairline cracks in the substrate — combined with strong UV resistance and waterproofing performance on concrete and masonry facades. Sikagard 545 W Elastocolor is a water-based elastomeric system applied as part of the Sika facade protection system upstream of Sika primers and with Sika reinforcing fabric for more demanding crack-bridging applications. It is primarily specified on commercial and multi-storey strata buildings where a professional-grade remedial facade coating system is required. Available through Sika's national trade and contractor supply network. Confirm current product specification, system documentation, primer requirements, and DFT from the current Sika Sikagard 545 W Elastocolor TDS before specifying.

Mapei Elastocolor Paint is a specialist elastomeric waterproof coating for concrete and masonry facades in the Mapei professional remedial product range. It provides high elongation at break enabling fine crack bridging, combined with waterproofing, UV resistance, anti-fungal properties, and anti-carbonation protection — making it particularly suited to concrete facade remediation where carbonation-induced corrosion of reinforcement is a design consideration alongside waterproofing. Elastocolor Paint is applied as part of the Mapei facade protection system and is designed to work with Mapei primers and reinforcement systems for more demanding crack-bridging applications. Available through Mapei's national trade supply and building contractor network. Confirm current product specification, system documentation, primer requirements, and DFT from the current Mapei Elastocolor Paint TDS before specifying.
