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.
