PROBLEMS CAUSED BY WATER INGRESSPROBLEMS CAUSED BY WATER INGRESS All mineral building materials are absorbent. Their porosity

holds the key to the whole problem of water ingress. When these absorbent building materials come into contact with water, the amount absorbed depends on their porosity; therefore there are different levels of damage

Brick facing will blow due to damage caused by water penetration that freezes and expands

Salt Efflorescence and salt damage – white deposits on the bricks additives being drawn out with moisture

Mortar loss, due to continued water ingress Impairment of the thermal insulation property Render detaching from the wall

REMEDIALS – INSPECTIONREMEDIALS – INSPECTION PREPARATION PROCESS – IDENTIFY FAULTSPREPARATION PROCESS – IDENTIFY FAULTS

Faults in the brickwork or masonry such as missing or cracked pointing

Identify if render has detached from wall – sounds hollow when tapping with a small hammer

Identify Salt Efflorescence and salt stains Rust staining due to metal ties corroding Mortar loss, due to continued water ingress Organic growth – due to moisture retention

PREPARATIONPREPARATION

Repair all cracks and re-point where necessary. – repair with either ready mixed mortar or a sand/cement mix

Repair render if necessary – sand cement option or silicone render option

Mask all windows and doors using poly cover quick Wash all surfaces with Ecocoat cleaner

Hygrothermal performanceHygrothermal performance Ecocoat improves Hygrothermal performance Ecocoat is tested to EN ISO 15148 Hygrothermal performance is the combination of moisture

(in masonry walls)  and heat  (loss through building surfaces)

MOISTURE IN WALLS IS A HEAT CONDUCTOR It is a proven fact that wet walls transfer heat twice as

quickly as dry walls Ecocoat will help reduce the moisture content within the

walls by drying out the wall, which in turn will slow down the transfer of heat. Resulting in lower energy use

Ecocoat®Ecocoat® Coatings - the most superior and Coatings - the most superior and latest Nano technology coating from Germanylatest Nano technology coating from Germany

In nature the Lotus Leaf completely repels dirt and water due to its unique microstructure, through the development of technology Ecocoat coloured and clear (crème) wall coatings are able to replicate this super hydrophobic effect

Water Repellency of Water Repellency of EcocoatEcocoat®® Coloured and Coloured and Clear coatingClear coating

Water repellency is governed by the organic group (methyl group) of the silicone resins. The inorganic portion of the silicone resin “cements“ together the filler and pigment. The super hydrophobic groups project into the capillaries and pores, rendering them water-repellent

Ecocoat® self cleaning effect Silane/Siloxane resins penetrate deep into the substrate

creating a super hydrophobic surface (ultra water repellent) The higher the contact angle of the coating the smaller the

area is for water to make contact, which means the droplets will bead like marbles which roll off the surface picking up dirt particles and contaminants

Ecocoat® Durability – Coloured and clear coating

The superior quality of the Silane/Siloxane resins contribute to stable longer lasting colour retention and UV protection

Resulting in superior durability and life cycle 15-20yrs Because the surfaces of Silane/Siloxane systems are highly

water-repellent – on average the coatings are drier for a longer period of the year. This reduces the opportunity for organic growth such as algae or fungi

Ecocoat® Masonry Crème Applied white and dries completely clear To protect and retain the appearance of natural facades

Ecocoat® masonry Crème penetrates up to 17mm into the substrate protecting the surface and repelling water offering a self cleaning surface

Ecocoat® Masonry Crème Moisture present in masonry walls speeds up heat transfer

from inside the building to outside. However, Ecocoat® masonry Creme has unique properties helping to create a dry masonry wall, slowing down heat movement, therefore helping to keep fuel bills and energy consumption down

The red area in the thermal imagedemonstrates the severe heat loss through the damp

masonry wall.

The blue area in the image demonstrateshow when drying out masonry walls thermal efficiency is improved resulting in lower energy costs.

Ecocoat® Masonry Crème Improves the thermal efficiency of the property tested to DIN ISO 4108-4 for thermal insulation, proven in

tests to reduce energy consumption Tested to EN ISO 15148:2002 for Hygrothermal performace

Ecocoat® Water Repellent Scientifically engineered to protect mineral surfaces by

active binding Water based water repellent designed using the latest

Nano technology A special chemical composition that reacts with mineral

Ecocoat® Water Repellent Can be used on all mineral surfaces such as walls, roofs

and paving slabs Protects against weathering such as rain, dirt, algae,

airborne pollutants and oils Recommended for surfaces such as Clay, Concrete,

Terracotta and Slate Prevents salt efflorescence Superior colour retention
