Monolastex Smooth - decorative coating which provides protection against carbonation and water ingress
(BBA)

Flexcrete's Monolastex Smooth is a water based, elastomeric, high build, decorative coating which provides protection against carbonation and water ingress, yet allows damp substrates to breathe without blistering. Its ultra-fast drying enables two coat applications to take place on the same day and facilitates year round usage, even in uncertain weather conditions. The product is available in a range of attractive colours and prevents the growth of mould and fungi, making it an ideal maintenance coating for internal and external use.

Monolastex Smooth is a single component, high build, decorative and protective coating based on an advanced micropolymer resin binder which cross links to give excellent adhesion to most building substrates. The cured membrane is elastomeric, enabling it to facilitate movements in the substrate and to bridge hairline cracks, giving outstanding durability. It protects reinforced concrete structures from carbonation and water ingress, whilst allowing the free passage of entrapped moisture from the substrate without blistering the coating or weakening its adhesion. MONOLASTEX SMOOTH is available in a range of attractive shades which give high obliteration of strong underlying colours, whilst an active fungicide inhibits the growth of mould and lichens, making it the ideal maintenance coating for both internal and external use.

Advantages of Monolastex Smooth

Anti-carbonation: High diffusion resistance to carbon dioxide, offering complete protection from the effects of carbonation.
Durable: The advanced micropolymer resin binder and cross-linking system cures to form a durable coating with excellent adhesion to most building substrates.
Fast drying: Rivals that of many solvent based systems, enabling two coat application on the same day and facilitates year round application.
Compliance: Approved by the BBA, Certificate No. 05/4276.
Safe: Low hazard, water based product with no flash point. Equipment easily cleaned with water.
Breathable: Low water vapour diffusion resistance allows damp substrates to breathe and dry out without blistering, whilst still providing a tough, impenetrable barrier to further water ingress.
Decorative: High colour pigment concentration obliterates strong underlying colours to produce an attractive finish, whilst an active fungicide inhibits the growth of moulds and lichens.
Maintenance: Easily and quickly repaired and maintained.
