Description
Reflective Elastomeric Coating for Energy-Efficient Façade Protection
Silatex® Reflect is a high-performance, water-based elastomeric acrylic coating developed for exterior walls and façades where waterproofing, durability, and energy efficiency are essential. It combines advanced waterproofing performance with heat-reflective properties to improve building comfort and reduce thermal stress on surfaces.
The coating forms a seamless, flexible membrane that protects façades from moisture ingress, UV radiation, and environmental exposure. Its high solar reflectance and thermal emittance significantly reduce the temperature of sun-exposed surfaces, helping to maintain cooler indoor conditions and reduce energy consumption for cooling.
At Everkast, Silatex® Reflect is recommended for projects across Nigeria where buildings are exposed to intense sunlight, high temperatures, and heavy rainfall, making both waterproofing and thermal performance critical.
The coating maintains its elasticity across a wide temperature range and effectively bridges capillary cracks, preventing water penetration while accommodating minor substrate movement.
Its breathable formulation allows water vapour to escape, reducing the risk of trapped moisture and ensuring long-term coating performance. Additionally, its high resistance to dirt pick-up and self-cleaning effect helps maintain surface appearance over time.
Silatex® Reflect also protects concrete surfaces from carbonation and aggressive atmospheric conditions, making it suitable for urban and coastal environments.
Being water-based and eco-friendly, it offers easy application with low environmental impact, making it ideal for both new construction and refurbishment projects.
