New Textured Finishes for Walls Systems
A new line of modified acrylic finishes for wall cladding and exterior surfaces has been introduced by the Wall Systems business of BASF Corp.’s Construction Chemicals Division.
Tersus Finishes are formulated to provide “excellent water repellency and enhanced resistance to environmental soiling,” according to the Jacksonville, FL-based business.
Features, Tests
BASF says the finishes use a proprietary formula to produce a highly hydrophobic, non-polar surface that repels water.
In addition, its anti-soiling properties have been tested using two industry established test methods, Dirt Collection ASTM D3719 and Dade County Testing Application Standard (TAS) 143 (modified for textured coatings), the company says.
The product is available in two textures, a 1.0 mm and 1.5 mm sand texture, and can be produced in a wide variety of colors.
BASF Wall Systems is a manufacturer of exterior insulation finish systems (EIFS), stucco and air/water-resistive barriers.
