Quick drying & recoatable: Touch-dry in as little as one hour and recoatable in three hours, AllCoat is ideal for completing jobs quickly and avoiding delays in unpredictable weather.
-
Long-lasting weather protection: Provides up to 15 years of resistance against cracking, blistering, peeling and fading in exterior conditions. It offers excellent colour retention over time.
-
Breathable & water-resistant: Allows trapped moisture to escape while forming a tough, rain and severe weather-resistant film, ideal for older buildings and changing climates.

Mould & mildew resistant: Some formulations contain a biocide to protect the paint film from fungal growth and provide additional moisture resistance. This keeps surfaces looking fresh for longer and may combat existing mould.
