Acrylic Elastomeric Coating For Visually Immersive Surfaces Nashik

Acrylic elastomeric coating is a high-performance, water-based protective coating primarily used for roofing, walls, and exterior surfaces. It combines the flexibility of elastomers with the durability of acrylic polymers. Here's a detailed breakdown:

 What is Acrylic Elastomeric Coating?

Acrylic elastomeric coating is a flexible, rubber-like coating formulated with 100% acrylic polymers. It’s designed to stretch and return to its original shape without cracking — ideal for surfaces that expand and contract due to temperature changes or structural movement.

Key Properties

Property Description

Elasticity Can stretch up to 300–600% and return to shape.

Durability Long-lasting — 10 to 20 years depending on thickness and exposure.

UV Resistance Excellent resistance to UV rays, prevents chalking and fading.

Waterproofing Forms a seamless, waterproof membrane when applied properly.

Breathability Allows moisture vapor to escape while preventing water penetration.

Adhesion Strong adhesion to a variety of substrates like concrete, metal, stucco, and more.

 Applications

Area Use

Roofs Flat or low-slope roofs to prevent leaks and improve energy efficiency.

Walls Especially useful on stucco, masonry, and concrete surfaces.

Bridges/Infrastructure Protection from weathering, cracking, and corrosion.

Industrial Buildings UV and chemical resistance for demanding environments.

 Types

High-Build Elastomeric Coatings – Thicker, designed for roof applications.

Textured Elastomeric Coatings – For walls, improves crack bridging and aesthetic appeal.

Cool Roof Coatings – White or reflective formulations to reduce heat absorption.

 Application Process

Surface Preparation: Clean and repair cracks; power washing may be needed.

Priming (if required): Some porous or chalky surfaces may need a primer.

Application: Typically sprayed or rolled in 2 or more coats.

Curing: Needs 24–48 hours depending on temperature and humidity.

Advantages

Energy savings via reflectivity (cool roofs)

Extends lifespan of underlying materials

Eco-friendly: water-based and low VOC (Volatile Organic Compounds)

Crack-bridging ability

Easy maintenance and recoatability

Limitations

Should not be applied in cold or wet weather

Not suitable for high foot-traffic areas

Requires proper substrate preparation for best results
