Fibreglass Paint Reinforcement Solutions

CRAKGON® – the Permanent Solution
CRAKGON® ensures the correct and recommended industry standard paint-film thickness (circa 300u, dry paint-film). This is an important feature as there is a direct and proportional relationship between the (long-term) performance of the paint-job and the thickness of the paint-film. On average, only up to 3 coatings of un-reinforced paint-film are usually applied (mainly for economical reasons), which underlines the familiar short-comings of traditional paint systems, as only circa 180u (dry paint-film) are achieved (60u per coating, dry paint-film). Too thin a paint-film results in inferior surface protection, uneven and mediocre appearance, and more frequent and costly repainting jobs.

A CRAKGON® reinforced paint system won’t require more than 3 coatings (only 2 if a textured paint is used) to achieve the recommended paint-film thickness (300u, dry paint-film).

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.
