CRAKGON® Reinforcement Tissues

CRAKGON-PR® was specifically designed and developed as a paint reinforcer to permanently repair and prevent humidity related problems, in a simple, yet, highly effective way.

Properties of CRAKGON®

CRAKGON® is a non-woven paint reinforcing tissue of randomly dispersed continuous C-glass fibers . The glass fibers are bonded to one another by means of a specific binder. The binder is 100% compatible with emulsion, and solvent based coating systems.

The inherent properties of the "C-Class" glass used to produce CRAKGON® bestow it its high resistance to acids, alkalis, hydrolysis, and abrasion. These are critical factors in the efficacy of this solution as a permanent protection against the elements and aggressive environments. The fibers in CRAKGON® are chemically inert, fireproof, and do not rot nor lose resistance. Also, they do not allow for the growth of microorganisms.

The binders within CRAKGON® are 100% stable, permanently flexible, and are non-yellowing under extended UV ray exposure.

Permanent Solution

CRAKGON® ensures the correct and recommended industry standard paint-film thickness (circa 300u with 2 coats. Dry paint-film). Traditional paint systems tend to be only circa 180u (dry paint-film: 60u per coating). Too thin a paint-film results in inferior surface protection, uneven and mediocre appearance, and more frequent and costly repainting jobs.

The CRAKGON® glass fibers function as the "steel-rod grid in concrete structures", enhancing the durability and, thus, preventing cracking of the reinforced paint system (see diagram B). A single layer of CRAKGON® and paint offers an impermeable, highly abrasion-resistant, hygienic, and long lasting protection barrier, which, most importantly, allows for the wall to "breathe". CRAKGON® is ideal for both interior and exterior walls, and as a preventative against the effects of UV rays exposure, osmosis, and other related humidity problems.
