Specialty Exterior Paint

Dulux Colour:  Natural White (close match)

Paint brand & type: Resene AquaShield - mineral effect finish

Resene AquaShield is a high mineral content, super hydrophobic, water repellent coating with excellent coverage. It combines the water repellent properties of silicones with a special surface micro-structure, which considerably reduces the contact area for water and dirt. The result – dirt particles adhere lightly and are more easily carried away by rain.

Although it has excellent weather resistance, as with most waterborne finishes it allows the building to 'breathe' so that water vapours from inside are able to pass through the paint film to the exterior.

Resene AquaShield is an attractive flat mineral effect finish, a classic aged look, particularly suited to heritage, art deco, Santa Fe and Mediterranean style homes and buildings.

When used commercially it is best applied to heritage buildings that suit the soft, slightly textured finish. Use Resene Lumbersider (see Data Sheet D34) or Resene Sonyx 101 (see Data Sheet D30) for foundations or other high wear areas.

Resene AquaShield is suitable for brush, roller or spray application.
