Product Description: Dow Corning® AllGuard Silicone Elastomeric Coating is designed to waterproof above-grade exterior masonry substrates, such as concrete block, fluted block, brick, stucco, synthetic stucco, poured concrete, precast concrete, exterior insulation finish systems (EIFS) and previously coated masonry substrates. Color Chart Click Here Proven Performance That Can't Be Beat Dow Corning® AllGuard Silicone Elastomeric Coating is a one-compound, waterbased 100% silicone elastomer that cures to form a breathable membrane that seals out rain but lets internal moisture escape. AllGuard Silicone Elastomeric coating is specially designed for waterproofing above-grade exterior masonary substrates. • Outperforms acrylics in long-term membrane flexibility and breathability • Withstands hurricane-force, wind-driven rain and thermal movement • Outstanding breathability; allows moisture vapor inside the substrate to escape • Dynamic crack-bridging capability; bridges hairline cracks (up to an inch) • Resists fungus and mold growth better than acrylics (intrinsically mold-and-mildew resistent; not a nutrient for mold or mildew growth) • Resists environmental degradation better than acrylics • Can be applied without primer • Waterbased ...low VOC (meets federal guidelines); easy cleanup • Attractive matte finish • 55 standard colors plus unlimited custom colors; field-pigmentable by your distributor for rapid (often one-day) delivery • Inorganic pigments promote longterm color retention • Can be applied over Dow Corning¨ 123 Silicone Seal for a total weatherproofing and EIFS renovation solution • Superior, 10 year-warranty • Backed by Dow Corning Corporation, a global silicone technology leader with a reputation for superior technical support and one of the best warranty programs in the business Product Shortcomings COMPETITIVE SILICONES GE SilShield SEC2400 - Solvent based, higher VOC; cured coating may be less breathable than AllGuard (no permeance data provided); resistance to wind-driven rain unknown; crack-bridging ability unknown; lower movement capability than AllGuard because all colors are custom made to order. Product delivery time may be longer: more material required to obtain the same coverage. Sto StoSilco Lastic 222 - Less breathable than Allguard; lower movement capability; more limited crack-bridging capability; requires greater thickness and subsequently more product to obtain optimum performance; higher VOC. Sonneborn Sonocoat Silflex - Because this is a silicone-modified acrylic, rather than a 100% silicone, it may be less weather, mold and mildew resistant than AllGuard, more prone to damage by UV rays; may demonstrate poorer longterm flexibility; less breathable than AllGuard primer required on uncoated concrete and masonry; requires greater thickness and subsequently more product to qualify for warranty; significantly more drying time required between coats; higher VOC. COMPETITIVE ACRYLICS Acrylic Coatings (in general) - Poorer long-term membrane flexibility and breathability than silicones; less resistant to damaging UV rays and environmental degradation - may chalk, peel or blister over time; less robust mold and mildew resistance (dependent on the addition of antimicrobials, which can leach out over time). Thoro Thorocoat - Less breathable than AllGuard; less solids content; no crack-bridging capability; requires greater thickness and subsequently more product to obtain performance; higher VOC Thoro Thorolastic - Less breathable than AllGuard; lower movement capability; more limited crack-bridging capability; significantly more drying time required beyween coats; requires greater thickness and subsequently more product to obtain performance. Thoro Thoroguard - Less breathable than AllGuard; lower movement capability, no crack bridging capability; significantly more drying time between coats Sto Stolastic 211/212 - Less breathable than AllGuard; more limited crack-bridging capability; requires greater thickness and subsequently more product to obtain performance. Sonneborn Sonocoat Colorflex - Less breathable than AllGuard; no crack-bridging claim; significantly more drying time required between coats; higher VOC For above-ground waterproofing performance that is everything it claims to be... put your trust in AllGuard Silicone elastomeric coating from Dow Corning.
