  • Tired of being pushed around by water and moisture problems?

    Complete moisture control SOLUTION.

  • You’ve made a major investment in your building and that investment deserves the very best protection available. There’s only one company that has consistently helped owners protect their buildings against the ingress of moisture.

    Methods of controlling moisture in building construction have become extremely important to owners, builders, and contractors. The objective of controlling moisture movement is to prevent building before they occur – and save the building owner unnecessary maintenance and energy costs. Fortunately, as building science has evolved, NXT Coatings has developed many effective products which specifically meet the building designer’s requirement for addressing and controlling moisture movement.

    One of the more complicated issues today in building science is addressing moisture movement in building, both above and below ground. Not only does building design have to recognize that moisture movement will occur, but it must also factor in climate, workmanship, durability and a range of other important variables. Moisture can enter the building in a number of ways – underneath the concrete slab, through the below-grade vertical walls of the building foundation, and through the above-grade walls and roof of the structure. But NXT Coatings is your guardian of the structure. Since 2006, we’ve been developing products that will protect your structure from this moisture infiltration.

    LOCK-DOWN provides superior protection for stone, brink, stucco, mortar and concrete surfaces. It goes on clear so it won’t discolor building surfaces, yet it provides a durable barrier against oil, water, oil-based dirt, and water-based dirt. It’s even effective for unpainted masonry

    LOCK-DOWN is solvent and filler free and does not emit harmful fumes or odor so it’s safe to work with and requires no special equipment to apply.

    LOCK-DOWN provide waterproof barriers that stop moisture, preventing damage and water infiltration throughout the building envelope- on every substrate. As masonry and stucco surfaces are primary points of entry for water, LOCK-DOWN is carefully formulated to remain flexible and allow for movement while providing a high-quality water seal.

    LOCK-DOWN when applied appears as a transparent dustproofing wall sealer to protect walls, including render, plaster, concrete, block work and brickwork. Produces a silky, matt finish with minimal darkening effect on the substrate.

  • LOCK-DOWN Acrylic Latex Sealer is a water-dilutable, low viscosity; styrene-butadiene based exterior sealer. It reduces the absorbency of cementitious substrates. It is solvent-, plasticizer-, and filler-free. An Environmental Choice approved product. features a very low odor, very high spread rate, and years of lasting protection.

    LOCK-DOWN Water Base Primer Sealer is developed to use as primary coat to seal and enhance durability of finishing paint. It is free from Pollution, Solvent, Lead, Toxic, and noxious. It also contains effective additives which protect from fungus for many years.

    Field of Application:

    LOCK-DOW Water Base Primer Sealer can be used on concrete surface of exteriors as primary coat and has excellent undercoat adhesion,

    LOCK-DOWN is a high performance transparent water repellent specially formulated to provide a water repellent finish and prevent attack by water penetration on porous substrates such as brick, stone, concrete, plaster, plasterboard, rendering, porous tiling, grouting etc. LOCK-DOWN penetrates deep into the treated area and actually chemically bonds to the surface, providing effective water repellency for many years. It is unaffected by ultra violet light and offers improved water beading when compared to other traditional.

    However, LOCK-DOWN Masonry & Brick Sealer is 100% breathable and allows water vapor to escape. This means that the liquid water that can be absorbed from under or behind the substrate, such as from below brick driveways or sidewalks, will not be trapped inside because it is filer free and keep micro pores to allow water vapor. This will reduce the spalling and scaling that can occur from water being trapped inside the brick substrate and freezing during cold weather.

    LOCK-DOWN Masonry & Brick Sealer is a water-based emulsion. It penetrates into the substrate to form a waterproof hydrophobic barrier against water penetration. Upon penetrating into the substrate of the masonry or brick, it chemically bonds and fills the pores below the surface. The masonry or brick will be waterproof and protected from spalling, staining and mold and mildew growth.

  • Improved durability and beading effect. Solvent based, quick drying formula.

    Works on most common mineral surfaces. Deep penetrating formula. Ideal coating for exterior cementitious substrates. Excellent undercoat adhesion. Excellent durability in high U.V. environments. An Environmental Choice approved product.

    Performance

    Limitations

    Do not apply at temperatures below 10°C or when it is liable to drop below 10°C during the drying period.

    Not designed for direct to metal applications. Will not penetrate chalky and powdery surfaces. Not normally used on opening sashes and doors. Do not apply to damp/wet surfaces. Do not apply when raining or when rain is

    imminent. Do not use on non porous surfaces. Do not use on wood, plastic or rubber. Do not use in fishponds. Protect windows and surrounding areas from

    overspray. Remove any overspray immediately whilst the

    product is still wet, with a cloth .

    Surface preparation

    Clean down thoroughly to remove all dirt, dust and loose material.

    Ensure surface is free from oil, grease, mould and release agents

    Application

    Prepare surface and prime as above. Dilute with 2 Gallons of drinking water. Stirs and mix well before use. Apply by brush, synthetic fiber roller, brush or

    spray. Apply two coats, allowing at least two hours

    between coats. On vertical surfaces, saturate the wall working

    from the bottom up, ensuring the entire surface is covered.

    Two coats are normally required; the second coat being applied in or after 1 hour – as soon as the first coat has soaked in.

    Clean brushes, rollers and spray equipment with simple water IMMEDIATELY after use.

    Typical uses Block and brickwork Concrete Asbestos Sheet

    Drying Time Approx. 1-2 hours; depending on air temperature
