Content
There is hardly a person in our society who does not know what rubber is. This multifunctional material has long been used in various fields, from the construction of spacecraft to the production of toys. The main properties of rubber - elasticity, water resistance, protective properties - are inherent in the paint with its content.
Elasticity, which persists even after complete drying, is able to prevent damage to the treated base from serious deformations (twisting, bending, shrinkage, seismic shocks, etc.). It is able to shrink and stretch in accordance with the vibrations to which the painted base is subjected, without cracking or crumbling.
The coating is impact-resistant and is not afraid of hail damage and abrasion. He is also not afraid of all kinds of fungi, microorganisms and insects, as well as sudden changes in temperature.
Complete waterproofness is another protective property of rubber paint, which has led to a high demand for it. Waterproofing was just one of the main issues that needed to be addressed, and special attention was paid to it. As a result, it was possible to combine water resistance with vapor permeability. Rubber paint does not allow water to seep through, but it does not prevent the evaporation of moisture that has remained in the painted surfaces.
Another issue that was resolved during the development is complete environmental friendliness. It is devoid of toxic fumes both during operation and in the process of further operation, which makes it suitable for any external and internal work in places where waterproofing is required, including in rooms where children or people suffering from respiratory diseases will be. systems. This material was originally developed for use in children's and medical institutions, which explains its hypoallergenicity.
