Whenever the rainy season approaches in the Philippines, the havoc water and moisture becomes top of mind for us here at Let It B. We want to look out for you. To keep you and your home problem-free, consider these Boysen products that can provide protection against water and moisture.
Boysen Acrytex
If you’re looking for paint for home concrete exteriors, we recommend Boysen Acrytex. When applied, Boysen Acrytex creates a watertight, non-porous film that can repel water and prevent seepage. This gives your home protection from heavy downpours.
An acrylic, solvent-based coating, Boysen Acrytex’s formulation makes it exceptionally hardy and long-lasting. It adheres firmly to the surface it’s painted on making it unlikely that you’ll see it crack, flake, peel, yellow, or discolor. It will be a long while before you see it aging. Easy to maintain, you can easily wash away dirt and stains from it too.
Boysen Plexibond
Waterproofing on concrete is key to avoiding problems in areas that are regularly exposed to water and moisture. Parts of the home that will benefit from waterproofing include firewalls, parapet walls, concrete gutters, roof decks, and bathrooms. Boysen Plexibond can be used for all of these.
Boysen Plexibond is a cementitious waterproofing system. It creates a seamless, impenetrable layer that disperses any water upon contact, making it ideal for positive-side waterproofing. Positive-side waterproofing means applying waterproofing measures on the side of the wall that comes in direct contact with moisture or water.
Boysen Clear Acrylic Emulsion
Dampness on your concrete surface can cause paint problems as well—and awful ones too. Blistering and peeling paint are prime examples of what can happen when there is excessive moisture on your room walls.
Boysen Clear Acrylic Emulsion is a water-based, acrylic coating that serves as a barrier against dampness on concrete surfaces. Applied between the primer and topcoat, it acts as a sealer so that the moisture from the concrete will not seep through and damage your paint. It’s especially useful if you’re putting up wallpaper or if you have a problem with condensation due to a shared wall between two rooms. Just keep in mind that Boysen Clear Acrylic Emulsion is not a topcoat or a waterproofing product.
Boysen Aquaseal
Boysen Aquaseal is a silicone-based penetrating sealer designed to provide protection and maximum water repellency to masonry and stone surfaces. Use it on a wide variety of aboveground masonry and stone surfaces including concrete, brick, rubble, and sandblast finishes.
It functions as both a clear sealer and topcoat which means you can apply it directly to bare substrate and have no need to apply anything afterward. With that said, note as well that Aquaseal should only be used on bare surfaces. It will not work as intended when applied to a surface with an existing coating.
Boysen Lacquer Flo
If you’ve worked with wood, you know that moisture blushing can be a problem. Moisture blushing is when moisture gets trapped in a coated surface and causes the clear topcoat to turn milky white. This is particularly troublesome when painting in cold, wet, or humid weather conditions. Having to fix it isn’t an easy feat either as you’ll most likely have to sand it back to bare.
Avoid the problem before it even starts. Boysen Lacquer Flo slows down the drying process to minimize moisture entrapment that leads to moisture blushing. Use it for when you’re working with lacquer products like Boysen Clear Gloss Lacquer (for a glossy clear finish) or Boysen Automotive Lacquer (for a Duco finish).
