    Dear Friend,

    This year Maharashtra experienced unprecedented rainfall and on the 26 of

    Mumbai had the heaviest downpour of the century. Innumerable buildings h

    experienced seepage and leakage. Even new buildings have been affected. H

    preventive waterproofing been done, the expensive repair costs would have be

    minimized.

    In this issue of Building Block , our cover story focuses on exterior protective coatin

    for walls. Head R&D (coatings) Pidilite Industries limited, in his art

    focuses on crack-bridging ability of elastomeric coatings and the long-term protect

    of the walls.

    , a reputed chartered-chemist and a reputed Scientist of Singapo

    has written an article on external coating, which provides waterproofing as wel

    heat-insulation.

    This issue onwards, we have started a new column called “ASK THE EXPERT”. We h

    received lots of queries from readers. Our experts will answer the common questi

    related to waterproofing and repairs of structures.

    In other regular columns, we have highlighted our recent initiatives like new prod

    launches, the opening of Dr. Fixit Centres and Shopees. We are also laying out

    schedule of various types of training programmes for engineers, archite

    contractors and dealers.

     We hope you find this issue informative and interesting. Do keep writing in yvaluable feedback and suggestions.

    The yo-yo, a simple toy heldtogether by elastic that defiesthe stress put on it and recoils back 

    to its original size. In the same way our building exteriors are subject to

    stress day in and day out. Concrete and mortar that our buildings are

    constructed is not as flexible as the yo-yo elastic. Affected by thermal

    changes, wall expands by heat of sun and contract by night. Thermal &

    mechanical vibratory movements, over a period of time cause stress and

    tension within wall construction and on its paint coating, resulting in

    lesions and cracks. Conventionally exterior wall surfaces are painted with

    cement paint or acrylic paint, which have no crack-bridging ability.

    Unfortunately, conventional re-painting can only disguise the problem

    temporarily, before these thermal movements take their toll again and

    expose the cracks. Thus the building looks unkempt and run down, alsomaking the interior wall susceptible to seepage and moisture and the

    entire masonry open to deterioration.

    Elastomeric Wall coatings (EWCs) are both functional as well as

    decorative, used as a barrier to liquid water and carbon dioxide gas,

    permeable to water vapour (breathable), be able to accommodate

    movement in substrate and bridge both existing cracks and cracks that

    can appear after application, be able to maintain flexibility and strength

    over a broad temperature range, resist dirt pick up and fungal/algal

    growth, and maintain these properties for periods of up to 10 years.EWC are not applied in the same way as conventional paints, since dry

    film thickness necessary is 100 - 250 (depending

    upon severity of problem) which is much

    more than 60 - 80 of conventional

    paint film.

    In order for a coating to quali fy as

    “Elastomeric”, the binder must be an

    elastomer.

    Natural rubber is best known Elastomer.

     An elas tomer's character istics above its Tg (Glass transi tionTemperature) are:

    • Able to stretch and retract rapidly (resilient)

    • Possesses adequate modulus of elasticity and tensile strength when

    stretched

    It is quiet possible to develop a polymer binder, which give excellent

    elongation properties but very poor tensile strength to enable it to

    retract.

    Crack bridging ability is one of the most important characteristics of an

    EWC. Cracked coating looses their properties. A large number of small

    By I. Varghese, Head R&D(Coatings), PidiliteBy I Varghese cracks in a masonry surface can lead to the equivalent damage tha

    very large hole in the surface could cause. The most severe damage

    caused by water seepage and resultant concrete deterioration.

    Micro cracks (hairline cracks) generally do not extend through

    structure and are least important; nevertheless they are visu

    undesirable and if left unattended could lead to surface spalling of

    concrete. Important concern is structural cracks, which may ext

    through the wall and into the reinforcement. Once air and acid contain

    moisture (CO + Water) have access to exposed rebar, considera

    damage can occur. Expansion joints may also be present

    accommodate the movement of large areas of masonry surface. S

     joints after filling with appropriate sealants can be coated with an EWC

    Crack bridging of an EWC depends upon:

    • % Elongation at break and tensile strength properties of the Coat

    • Film thickness of an EWC

    Thus, an EWC coating resistance to “forthcoming crack width” (i.e. h

    much crack width it can tolerate before failure) is directly proportiona

    the dry film thickness. Since volume of the coating over a new crac

    unchanged from the pre-crack condition, a dramatic drop of dry

    thickness will occur and necking will occur until tensile strength fail

    occurs.

    Hence calculations have proved that to bridge a 1mm crack a minim

    film thickness of 100 and for a 2 mm crack a film thickness of 25

    is essential.

    fastness and flexibility, and provides at least 5 years protection against

    algae and fungus growth.

    Primer for EWC: The performance of EWC increases when a specialwater-based primer on 'nano-particle' size emulsion polymer binder is

    used before application of EWC. This special primer penetrate deep into

    the pores of substrate, thus preventing the movement of alkali/salts

    (giving improved alkaline and efflorescence resistance) as well as

    providing better bonding strength for EWC on to the substrate.

    aesthetic point of view, as well as to protect them from the aggression

    of wind-driven rain, heat, ultra-violet (UV) radiation, and micro-organism

    attack on the surface of the buildings. Paints used for the internal

    purposes are less susceptible to such conditions as compared to those

    for external applications, i.e. exterior paints and coatings.

    Exterior paint coating materials are specifically designed to withstand an

    extremely harsh outdoor condition and environment to keep surfaces of 

    a building clean, sound and prolong a life span of the building. Premium

    quality exterior paint must contain highly durable polymer binder, true

    reflective pigment, UV-heat stable colour pigment(s), and excellent

    biocides with a slow leaching rate profile in order to keep the surfaces of 

    the building out of troubles for up to 8-10 years. The exterior paint

    coating can be based on either “hard” polymer binder or “soft” or

    flexible polymer, or a combination of both depending on the demands

    and applications.

    Introduction

    In Singapore, National Standards for Surface Coatings are governed

    SPRING Singapore, and the standards specifying exterior paint coatin

    on flat or smooth walls are Singapore Standard (SS 345:19

    “Specification for Algae Resistance Emulsion Paint for DecoraPurposes” and Singapore Standard (SS 500:2002) “Specification

    Elastomeric Wall Coating”. However, these exterior paint coatings do

    address concerns on “Heat Transfer” from the external sources into

    inside of a building

    This article will illustrate and provide an insight information on how

    Elastomeric Heat Insulation Paint Coating can be an “answer”

    reader's quests and search for a water-borne paint coating material t

    can resists and/or prevents heat transferring from the walls and ro

    resulting in a “Cooler Building”.

    Basically, there are three (3) mechanisms involved in heat transfer i

    buildings as follows:

    Energy from the sun is transferred through electromagnetic waves,

    converted to “heat” when it strikes a solid surface. This sun radiatio

     After the sun radiation is converted to heat / energy on solid surface

    a substrate, the heat / energy is then transferred through the enclos

    thickness of walls and/or roofs. In this mechanism, a good insulatmaterial (such as Styrofoam, fibreglass and ceramic) or “heat insulat

    paint coating” with low thermal conductivity value (k-Value) or h

    thermal resistivity (R-Value) can resist the heat transfer from the hott

    surface to the cooler side.

    occupants that contributes to higher energy bill to operate air

    conditioner units to cool down the rooms

    “In a Technical Specifications for Waterproofing and Heat Insulation

    Materials, it stated that the acceptable requirement for insulation

    property of the thermal conductivity, k value, is 0.000345 W/m.K for a

    temperature reduction of 3 C at head room temperature based on

    minimal 2 coats (of heat insulation material)”

    The first question to ask ourselves or challenge someone from the

    above specification is “Can a heat insulation coating with 2 coats (of 

    about 400-500 microns dry film thickness) posses such a low thermal

    conductivity, k value, of 0.000345 W/m.K ?” The answer is a big NO, and

    it is impossible and beyond imagination for a coating! The next questionshould be asked is that does it require such low k value just to reduce 3

    C at head room temperature, and does the person who wrote the

    specification understand clearly the mechanism of heat transfer or does

    he/she just simply “cut and paste” from an unreliable source?

    To understand the “real & actual” thermal conductivity value of a

    coating better and clearly, we must first know what test methods used

    for the testing, such as ASTM C 518, ASTM C177, ASTM C 236, ASTM

    E 1461 or ASTM E 1269, etc., and then how the tests are being

    carried out in the laboratory. Different test methods and modes of 

    testing will definitely produce different results of k values. For

    example, the published thermal conductivity value of a so-called“SUPER THERM” Ceramic Heat Insulation Coating shows two

    distinctive k values by different test methods, as follows:

    1. The high density of fibreglass of 3 inch thick was used as the

    “control” material, and its thermal conductivity k value obtained

    was 0.075 W/m.K

    2. The SUPPER THERM coating of about 250 microns (10 mils) was

    applied on the hot side of the fibreglass board, and its

    “Equivalent Thermal Conductivity”, k value obtained was 0.045 W/m.K

    3. This test shows the improvement of 40% heat reduction from the

    hot side (i.e. heat source) of the “control” fibreglass board, and

    its k value is called “Effective” value of the entire system (3 inch

    of fibreglass board plus 250 microns thick of SUPER THERM

    coating)

    3 What is the remedy for salt petre (shora)

    4. What is the Tack free time for Acrylic polymer like Dr. Fixit Pidicrete MPB ?

    On applying Dr. Fixit Pidicrete URP to bricks on vertical walls, it is difficult for a mason to plaster after 30 minutes of application of 2nd coat. Hcan this be addressed?

     Ans.

     Ans.

     Ans.

    Dr. Fixit Repellin WR

    It depends on what substrate the phenomenon occurs. The salts are due to the reaction between water and salts present in the sand or brinaturally. It is called as “efflorescence”. The place can be scraped thoroughly and apply a water repellant / water thinnable epoxy based coat

    like Dr. Fixit Dampguard or an acrylic coating

    Dr. Fixit Repellin WR is a silicone based liquid and hence reacts with the silica in the stone or concrete surfaces. One can

    try to scrape of the salts appearing on the surface, and re-apply the in that place only. There is noremedy actually for the occurrence, as it is always on a case-to-case basis. This is true for all silicone based waterrepellents

    Tack-free time of Dr. Fixit Pidicrete MPB when applied neat can be upto even 30 minutes at 27-30 deg C. If mixed with cement, it will redudepending on the heat of hydration in cement, say 15-20 minutes. As a bond coat to concrete it can be applied neat & as a bond coat to plasit can be mixed with cement in a proportion of 1 : 1.5 by volume. Further over-application ( in both cases) must be done when the bond c

    application is tacky ( Tacky means, that the coat is sticky to the finger but does not wet the fingers)

    Never apply Dr. Fixit URP or Dr. Fixit URP + cement on bricks, as an attempt to waterproof the brickwork. If one wants to waterproofing masonry, the best thing is to:
