 PROBLEMS CAUSED BY WATER INGRESS  All mineral building materials are absorbent. Their porosity holds the key to the whole problem of water ingress. When these absorbent building materials come into contact with water, the amount absorbed depends on their porosity; therefore there are different levels of damage  Brick facing will blow due to damage caused by water penetration that freezes and expands  Salt Efflorescence and salt damage – white deposits on the bricks additives being drawn out with moisture  Mortar loss, due to continued water ingress  Impairment of the thermal insulation property  Render detaching from the wall

 REMEDIALS – INSPECTION  PREPARATION PROCESS – IDENTIFY FAULTS  Faults in the brickwork or masonry such as missing or cracked pointing  Identify if render has detached from wall – sounds hollow when tapping with a small hammer  Identify Salt Efflorescence and salt stains  Rust staining due to metal ties corroding  Mortar loss, due to continued water ingress  Organic growth – due to moisture retention

 PREPARATION  Repair all cracks and re-point where necessary. – repair with either ready mixed mortar or a sand/cement mix  Repair render if necessary – sand cement option or silicone render option  Mask all windows and doors using poly cover quick  Wash all surfaces with Ecocoat cleaner

 Hygrothermal performance  Ecocoat improves Hygrothermal performance  Ecocoat is tested to EN ISO  Hygrothermal performance is the combination of moisture (in masonry walls) and heat (loss through building surfaces)  MOISTURE IN WALLS IS A HEAT CONDUCTOR  It is a proven fact that wet walls transfer heat twice as quickly as dry walls  Ecocoat will help reduce the moisture content within the walls by drying out the wall, which in turn will slow down the transfer of heat. Resulting in lower energy use  Improving Hygrothermal performance (how well the building retains heat)

 Ecocoat® Coatings - the most superior and latest Nano technology coating from Germany  In nature the Lotus Leaf completely repels dirt and water due to its unique microstructure, through the development of technology Ecocoat coloured and clear (crème) wall coatings are able to replicate this super hydrophobic effect

 Water Repellency of Ecocoat ® Coloured and Clear coating  Water repellency is governed by the organic group (methyl group) of the silicone resins. The inorganic portion of the silicone resin “cements“ together the filler and pigment. The super hydrophobic groups project into the capillaries and pores, rendering them water- repellent

 Ecocoat® Vapour Permeability (Breathability)  The high breathability makes the products resistant to blistering and peeling, allowing coatings to last as long as years  Ecocoat® has superior breathability  Excellent vapour permeability

 Ecocoat® self cleaning effect  Silane/Siloxane resins penetrate deep into the substrate creating a super hydrophobic surface (ultra water repellent)  The higher the contact angle of the coating the smaller the area is for water to make contact, which means the droplets will bead like marbles which roll off the surface picking up dirt particles and contaminants

 Ecocoat® Durability – Coloured and clear coating  The superior quality of the Silane/Siloxane resins contribute to stable longer lasting colour retention and UV protection  Resulting in superior durability and life cycle 15-20yrs  Because the surfaces of Silane/Siloxane systems are highly water- repellent – on average the coatings are drier for a longer period of the year. This reduces the opportunity for organic growth such as algae or fungi

 Ecocoat® Masonry Crème  Applied white and dries completely clear  To protect and retain the appearance of natural facades  Ecocoat® masonry Crème penetrates up to 17mm into the substrate protecting the surface and repelling water offering a self cleaning surface

 Ecocoat® Masonry Crème  Moisture present in masonry walls speeds up heat transfer from inside the building to outside. However, Ecocoat® masonry Creme has unique properties helping to create a dry masonry wall, slowing down heat movement, therefore helping to keep fuel bills and energy consumption down The red area in the thermal image demonstrates the severe heat loss through the damp masonry wall. The blue area in the image demonstrates how when drying out masonry walls thermal efficiency is improved resulting in lower energy costs.

 Ecocoat® Masonry Crème  Improves the thermal efficiency of the property  tested to DIN ISO for thermal insulation, proven in tests to reduce energy consumption  Tested to EN ISO 15148:2002 for Hygrothermal performace

 Ecocoat® Water Repellent  Scientifically engineered to protect mineral surfaces by active binding  Water based water repellent designed using the latest Nano technology  A special chemical composition that reacts with mineral groups and actively bonds to mineral surfaces  Extremely water repellent  High contact angle >160°  Self Cleaning
