MID WALES TEXTURED MASONRY COATING.
MID WALES textured exterior masonry coating is an organic based enamel coating containing a developed blend of hard wearing amorphous minerals, titanium oxide and small quantities of crystalline silica. The mixture is bound with strong polyethylene fibres and suspended in an alkyd resin/ white spirit. The paint is lead free.
PROTECTION AND DECORATION
Resistance To Dirt Retention
Well- formulated paints based on Pliolite resins are hard and resist dirt pickup and hence are well suited to urban and industrial zones. They are self- cleaning, any dirt retained is easily washed away by rain.
Resistance To Blistering And Peeling
Deep penetration into the masonry surface ensures long lasting adhesion. The micro porous nature of Pliolite based paints means that they protect the masonry surface from wind driven rain, yet allow entrapped moisture vapour to escape.
Unique Ageing Characteristics
Pliolite resin has been especially developed to resist in a controlled way the damaging effects of the sun's UV rays. Paints based on Pliolite resins are self- cleaning. A few microns on the surface of the paint film are regularly eliminated by rain, removing any retained dirt, preserving an appearance close to the original.
Weather Application
The film of masonry paints based on Pliolite resins is not affected by climatic conditions. Application of these paints is possible either at low ambient temperature or at high wall temperatures. Night time freezing temperatures after application will not affect the coating

PROCLEAR
CLASSIFICATION
PROCLEAR is based on Polyoxoaluminium Stearate in a solvent carrier used in protecting brick, stone, concrete, and masonry against rainwater penetration. Proclear does not change the aesthetic appearance of the substrate after treatment. On application, dependant on the porosity of the material to be treated, it penetrates up to a depth of 5mm, effectively repelling driving rain. The surface, however, can breathe, thus ensuring that previously absorbed moisture will evaporate and thus allowing the treated areas to dry out normally.
METHOD OF USE
Allow at least one day for the new pointing to be adequately dry for PROCLEAR application. (May need more than 24 hours in poor weather conditions). Apply by brush or spray (low pressure) at a rate of 3- 5m/litre per coat. Coverage depends on the porosity of the surface and two coats are normally applied. Allow six hours drying time between the coats.
