Pétrex5 facade coating : Waterproof – Breathable

This is confirmed by the recent tests carried out by Tecnalia (CIDEMCO)
Petréx5 never ceases to give joy to all of us who have ever trusted in its qualities. On this occasion, Petréx5 has demonstrated its strength and quality by passing with flying colors the different tests carried out by the company Tecnalia, formerly known as CIDEMCO.
Breathable, waterproof and resistant
Pétrex5 passes the water vapor permeability test with flying colors, which indicates that it has excellent breathability, without ever losing its impermeability to liquid water, as we can see in the second test.

Adhesion, hardness, strength and resistance to chemical agents.
The rest of them demonstrate something that many already knew, the excellent durability over time that Pétrex5 has always presented:

  • Determination of adhesion by direct traction
  • Determination of abrasion resistance
  • Drop test of a mass (hardness): 2 kg from a height of one meter without cracks or flaking
  • Resistance to strong chemical attack:

During chemical resistance tests, Pétrex5 was subjected to a harsh attack for more than 28 days by compounds such as diesel fuel, motor oil, bleach, salt, sulfuric acid and sodium hydroxide. During this time, Pétrex5 has hardly been affected, with a loss of hardness that has never exceeded 10%.

In conclusion, and as we mentioned at the beginning of this article, once again Pétrex5 demonstrates its quality and resistance by being at the height of the exhaustive tests to which it has been subjected by the prestigious Tecnalia laboratories, generating even more confidence if possible, both to those who daily decide to protect their facades with it, as well as to all those who make it possible for this product to reach establishments throughout Spain and part of Europe.
