Faced with water infiltration and the constant attack of humidity, a simple finishing paint is not always enough. When water seeps through masonry or concrete, it is essential to treat the problem at its root.
Using a professional anti-humidity coating is the most effective solution to waterproof your surfaces in depth and therefore reduce the risk of mould in your interior.
Why choose the Prisma Color anti-humidity treatment coating?
Prisma Color’s flagship product comes as a flexible, single-component fibre-reinforced powder coating. Unlike classic coatings that harden and crack at the slightest building movement, this technical coating offers unique properties:
- Total waterproofing: it effectively protects and waterproofs all masonry, concrete or render surfaces, even under constant water or high humidity.
- High flexibility: thanks to its great elasticity, it perfectly covers the micro-cracks that naturally form in concrete under stress.
- Preventive action: by blocking water upstream, it remains the best weapon to clean up walls durably and reduce future mould risk.
This waterproofing logic does not stop at walls: for the floors of garages, basements or workshops, choose a waterproof epoxy resin.
In a bathroom, always treat the surface’s humidity before laying your paint on tiling: this guarantees a renovation that lasts.
Application guide: how to succeed in laying your anti-humidity coating?
To ensure optimal effectiveness and perfect adhesion of your anti-humidity product, surface preparation and respecting the dosages are crucial steps.
1. Surface preparation. The condition of your wall determines the longevity of the treatment. The surfaces to be treated must be:
- Strong and solid.
- Perfectly cured.
- Free of any dust, wax, oil or grease.
- Cleared of any old paint or release agent.
2. Mixing and preparing the mortar. The precision of the mix guarantees the coating’s hydrophobic properties.
- Dosage: mix the entire 20 kg bag with 6.0 litres of clean water.
- Mixing: mix mechanically at low speed (electric mixer) to avoid air bubbles that would weaken the protective layer.
- The resulting mix must be completely homogeneous, smooth and free of lumps.
3. Step-by-step application. Application is done crosswise so that no infiltration gets through.
- Apply a first coat with a filling knife or float, not exceeding 2 mm thickness.
- Let the first coat dry for about 4 hours.
- Apply a second coat perpendicular to the first: this crossing guarantees perfect, durable structural waterproofing.
By choosing Prisma Color anti-humidity technical coating, you give your buildings robust, flexible protection against water damage. Once the wall is perfectly waterproofed, you can finish with an anti-mould paint such as FONGEX for lasting fungicidal protection.
