Code:
194-20827
Approvals:
APAS-0117/3, APAS-0118/3 (system approval)
DULUX AcraTex 953 103 Membrane is a High Build Elastomeric Membrane coating applied by medium cell Texture Roller delivering a weatherproofing, highly flexible crack bridging coating with a light relief Texture Profile. Specified in 400-500 micron dry film build specifications.
Tintable across Dulux Colour Specifier pastel and deep colour selections, Membrane 103 is specified in system with AcraShield Topcoat for extended lifecycle and full colour range.
Features
- 10 year warranty when applied as full Acra-Tex system
- High water tigh barrier coating
- Flexible & crack bridging ability
- Resists carbon dioxide
Benefits
- Guaranteed long term exterior durability.
- Excellent water resistance and protection.
- Resists substrate thermal epxansion & contraction
- Ideal protective coating for spalled concrete.
