How CRAKGON® ‘Cures’ Humidity-Related Pathologies
CRAKGON®’s perfect compatibility with both the paint-film and the cement/plaster rendering is due to two important facts: (1) Sand (i.e., Silica) makes up 2/3 of the composition of the cement/plaster rendering. Equally, Silica (i.e., sand) makes up 2/3 of the composition of glass (CRAKGON®); (2) The specific binders within CRAKGON® are 100% compatible with the resins that make up the paint (see diagram A).

A Composite is formed through the absolute adhesion of CRAKGON® to both elements (the paint-film and the wall surface). Thus, the opposing coefficients of thermal expansion and contraction movements between the wall and the paint itself are equalized by the presence of CRAKGON® in the paint system.

CRAKGON®, simultaneously, moves in sync with the wall surface and enhances dimensional stability to the paint-film. Lab results show irrefutable evidence that CRAKGON® reinforced paint-film’s tensile strength is 10 times greater than unreinforced paint-film itself and 3 times greater than CRAKGON® tissue itself.
