ECO GlassCoat Waterbased Architectural Coating for Cementitious Surfaces
Description
GlassCoat is a glass-filled system that is formulated to seal, condition, repair and coat
concrete, concrete block, masonry and stucco surfaces. It is a single-component,
waterbased system that can be rolled or spray applied for architectural coatings. It
provides long-lasting color and texture and is extremely water and weather resistant.
GlassCoat is an acrylic modified system that is reinforced with mica and recycled crushed
glass - up to 30% of the final thickness is recycled glass. GlassCoat's elasticity allows
the coating to stretch without cracking when the building moves, while providing the
protection of a tough outer skin. GlassCoat's high-build qualities will bridge hairline
fractures and will help fill surface irregularities, for a more uniform finish. The system
is not caustic and does not contain materials considered hazardous. It is extremely user-
and environmentally-friendly.
Advantages
Suggested use: exterior vertical surfaces
Why use a waterborne coating?
Application
Test a small area prior to application to ensure that the application is satisfactory.
Method:
Spray and backrolling are preferred, but may be rolled and brushed. See GlassCoat Application data Sheet for detailed application instructions.
Cautions
Use with adequate ventilation. Do not take internally. Keep out of reach of children. Close container after use. If spraying, use an approved NIOSH/MSHA respirator.
