Fiber Cement Solutions
Long-term resistance without compromising on aesthetics.
Enhance the lifetime of your fiber cement solutions
Extend the weatherability and service life of your fiber cement products – such as tiles, slates, corrugated sheets, façade boards and siding panels – with solutions that can be custom-formulated to address your specific application requirements.
Our range offers:
- Acrylic emulsions designed for use as site- and factory-applied sealers and coatings.
- Silicone post-treatment sealers or water repellents that offer reliable and long-lasting water repellency without negatively impacting post-coating adhesion.
- Hydrophobic admixtures that can reduce water absorption and offer integral protection in the final product, eliminating the need for a post-treatment.
