DULUX AcraTex 951 Sponge Fine Render
Code:
194-85803
DULUX AcraTex 951 Sponge Fine Render delivers the charm of yester-year with the benefits of today’s technology and unlike limewash or cement based coatings, will not develop surface cracks. The cured coating has a mottled aged rendered patina and is similar to that of a limewash finish.
Specified in multilayer applications, generally without topcoat, the natural finish will age gracefully.
Can be overcoated with AcraShield weather-proofing barrier topcoat for optimum life cycle effeciency.
Features
- 7 year warranty when used as a full Acra-Tex system
- Pre-mixed ready for use
- Fast processing & Long "wet edge"
- Low maintanance
Benefits
- Guaranteed long term exterior durability.
- Has a weatherd look look & finsh in a range of colours
- Quick, efficient, and levels uneven cement based surafces to an even finish
- Weatherproof & stays cleaner longer reducing maintenance when top coated with 955 Acrashield
Performance Guide
| Weatherability | ] Excellent resistance to cracking, flaking and chalking as when topcoated with DULUX AcraTex 955 AcraShield. |
| Heat Resistance | ] Up to 90C (dry). Meets Early Fire Hazard AS 1530.3. Ignitability 0, Spread 0, Heat 0, Smoke 1. |
| Water Resistance | ] Resists rain and condensation when top coated with Dulux Acra-Tex 955 Acrashield |
| Abrasion Resistance | ] Excellent resistance to abrasion. |
| Solvent Resistance | ] Resists achohols & aliphatic hydrocarbons. Sensitive to other strong solvents. |
| Acid Resistance | ] Slight softening with dilute acids. Best when topcoated with DULUX AcraTex 955 AcraShield |
| Alkaline Resistance | ] Slight softening with dilute alkalis. Best when topcoated with DULUX AcraTex 955 AcraShield |
| Salt Resistance | ] Resists salt spray when topcoated with DULUX AcraTex 955 AcraShield. |
