SPECIFICATION FOR EXTERIOR WALL PAINTING

Novalux Technical Information

NOVALUX masonry paint is based on 100% pure Acrylic Co-polymer resin. The coating is resistant to Alkali. Acids and Mould growth, Novalux masonry paint does not contain any water sensitive ingredients which are common in water based paint like Cement paint. Sand Texture paint and water based acrylic paints and hence it has excellent water resistance property.

Uses

Economical paint for the decoration of Interior and Exterior masonry surfaces. Stucco, Cement plaster, Stone. Precast Concrete, Pebble clash, Asbestos etc.

Providing and applying ready mixed ready to use solvent based paint Novalux consisting of resins / fillers / alophetic and aromatic solvents / additives / pigment etc.

The paint should be applied in two or more coats as required on an under coat of suitable cement primer or one coat of cement paint on new cement palstered surfaces inclusive of required tools, materials, scaffolding and other painting accessories etc. The paint is to be applied as per the MFGRS. Specifications and instructions and to the entire satisfaction of engineer-in-charge.

COMPARISON CHART OF EXTERIOR WALL FINISHES

Novalux exterior interior masonry Paint   Exterior / Interior water based Acrylic paint WATER RESISTANCE   Far Superior than any water based paints   Because water based paint Contain water sensitive additives interior water esistance compared to NOVALUX ALKALI RESISTANCE   Excellent RESISTANCE   Can get saponified by Alkali present in the plaster surface and give patchy appearance BREATH ABILITY   Low water uptake during Rainy season and better Breath ability of entrapped moisture   High uptake of water during rainy season and poor breath ability during dry season causing blistering RESISTANT TO MOULD   Does not contain any water Sensitive ingredient for any Micro organisms to grow And with excellent water Resistance properties has far Superior mould growth resistance than water based paint   Contain water sensitive ingredient which can be attacked by micro organism and hence more susceptible to mould growth ADHESION   The particle size of Novalux Based on resins is several thousand times smaller than that of water based paints based on resin emulsion hence Novalux can penetrate into most difficult substrate and adhere well.   Large particles of emulsion Cannot penetrate as deeply as Novalux and hence poor adhesion compared to Novalux SHELF LIFE   Unlimited shelf life   Limited shelf life RENOVATION   Very easy to renovate as it can Take any number of repainting Cycle of Novalux, without Having to remove old Novalux   Difficult to renovate because. the base paint needs to be removed to avoid flaking of the paint film.
