QUARSITE POOL COATING
Catalog Quartsite pool coating
Quartsite pool coating is a twin-pack resin coating with a high gloss and waterproof finish. It is suitable for interior and exterior applications for concrete/gunite pools (can also under conditions re-coat fibreglass pools). It has outstanding weatherability and chalk resistance (unlike epoxy coatings) and displays excellent flexibility and high abrasion resistance. Quartsite pool coating dries rapidly to a slick, durable finish that exhibits very good resistance to a wide range of chemicals (including acids, alkalis and solvents). Quartsite pool coating is manufactured in a factory complying with SABS ISO 9001:2000 requirements. Quartsite Pool Coating is light fast and therefore there is no need for the use of mosaics as a waterline finish. Quartsite Pool Coating is a long lasting coating after which all that is required to recoat is a light sanding of the surface prior to recoating. Quartsite Pool Coating is impervious to a wide range of chemicals, alkalis and acids. It does not have the tendency to mottle and will not have calcium build up as in cement based plasters. It has the added advantage of saving chemicals whilst being smooth to the touch. |
