Construction chemicals specialist Chembond has launched a high performance elastomeric anti-carbonation and water repellent coating – KEM Proof Ultimate.
  KEM Proof Ultimate is a high quality acrylic emulsion based coating. It is elastomeric in nature and has good resistance to weather and sunlight. It is single component system containing inert pigments and fillers suitable for application by brush, roller or spray. It prevents chloride ion ingress and exceeds all the requirements of a coating that resists carbonation and provides a smooth, durable and water repellent coating for concrete and masonry surfaces.
Areas of application• KEM Proof Ultimate is designed to bind and to protect concrete structures against carbon dioxide, air- or water-borne chlorides.• It is also used as elastomeric water repellent coating for asphalt, timber, fibre cements and zinc sheets.• It may be applied to many types of substrates particularly those commonly requiring elastomeric anti carbonation and water repellent coating like concrete bridges, highways, structures in marine environments, car parking structures, commercial and industrial buildings, flat and slopping roofs.
Features and benefits• High performance: It acts as a comprehensive barrier against carbon dioxide, water, sulphates and chloride ions.• Durability: It maintains its appearance and elastomeric performance with high recovery even after long term UV weathering. Resists growth of fungus and algae.• Application: Easily applied by roller, brush or airless spray.• Flexibility: It is capable of bridging cracks and withstands substrate cracking up to 2 mm and cyclic movement up to 1 mm.• Protection: It acts as a barrier against salts and atmospheric gases.• High build: Masking imperfections in substrates.• Waterproofing: It protects concrete from waterborne salts.• Breathable: Water vapours can escape from the structure.
Standards• ASTM C 1202 – 97, BS EN 12390, ASTM D 412 – 02,• ASTM C 836:1995, ASTM E 96:2000, BS 1881.
