Paint Gross façade elastic
Paint GROSS facade elastic is a mixture of polymeric binder, fillers and special additives.
It is a high-quality waterborne elastic (rubber-like) acrylic paint.
Paint is designed for exterior and interior application on plastered, concrete, cement, brick and other construction substrates.
Paint can be used as a finish coat above Astratek insulating coatings, and independently as a protective decorative coating.
High elasticity allows covering cracks, splits and chips up to 1.5 mm, which improves the quality of facade painting as while repairing and face-lifting so as when newly covering.
High durability, chemical and UV resistance of the paint extends the substrate life cycle.
The benefits of paint GROSS facade elastic:
- Vapor permeability
- Durability (not less than 15 years)
- Weatherability

- Excellent spreading capacity
- Elongation more than 100%
- Excellent adhesion
- Abrasion resistance

Tinting
Color — base A (for pastel shades), base C (for rich colors). Paints GROSS may be manufactured in white and tinted form. The tinted paints are marked with the number of tint on the label. The tinting is made in accordance with the RAL catalogue. The volume of tinted paint is not less than 1000 kg.
Application
Surface should be dry, clean, free of oil, wax, dirt, rust, grease, or other foreign matter such as scales, paint chips, etc. Ambient temperature and substrate temperature should be higher than +5°С.
Old mineral, loose, chalky and highly-absorbing substrates should be primed with Gross facade primer or similar acrylic primers.
Paint is applied by brush, roller or sprayer in 1-2 coats.
The coverage of the paint is 100-150 g/sq m (depends on a substrate type). The paint consumption may increase 1.5-2 times more on highly absorbing surfaces.
Prior to application the paint should be thoroughly mixed. It could be diluted with water if necessary. For a first coat it could be diluted with up to 10 % of water, for a finish coat it is not recommended to dilute the paint. The next coat can be applied in 2-3 hours after the first one (ambient t = +20°С, ambient humidity 65%).
Additional ventilation is not necessary. When applied by sprayer, proper respirators and goggles are recommended for your protection.
Storage and transportation
Product should be kept in a tightly closed pail in a storage area from +5°С to + 35°С, out of direct sunlight.
