Fosroc Dekguard E2000

Product Overview

The Dekguard E2000 system comprises two components: a single-component penetrating silane-siloxane primer (Dekguard WB Primer) that forms a chemically-bonded hydrophobic barrier in the substrate, inhibiting water and waterborne contaminant passage while consolidating porous surfaces; and a single-component crack-accommodating pigmented coating (Dekguard E2000) based on a special pure aliphatic acrylic polymer that provides excellent crack accommodation, low dirt pick-up and rain protection. Both are water-based, ready for immediate site use, and can be applied by brush, roller or spray. Available in a wide range of colours.

Features

• Crack accommodation — bridges subsequent cracking in the substrate (per manufacturer)
• Excellent barrier — blocks carbon dioxide, chloride ions, oxygen and water
• Low dirt pick-up — special acrylic polymer minimises dust and dirt retention
• Breathable — allows water vapour to escape from the structure without trapping moisture
• UV resistant — withstands ultraviolet light exposure for long-term outdoor use
• Water-based — single component ready to use; tools clean with water
• Non-flammable — all system components are non-flammable (per manufacturer)

Applications

• Anti-carbonation protection of exposed reinforced concrete structures
• Structural anti-corrosion coating in coastal environments
• Protection of concrete surfaces at risk of subsequent cracking
• Bridges, flyovers and infrastructure exterior protection
• Building facade concrete protection and decoration
• Overall protective coating after concrete repairs (used with Renderoc series)

Application Guidelines

• Surface preparation — surfaces must be dry, clean, free from oil, loose particles, release oils and curing compounds; light grit-blasting recommended
• Blow hole filling — surfaces with blow holes must first be filled with Renderoc FC fairing coat
• Primer application — apply one coat of Dekguard WB Primer; allow to dry completely before top-coating
• Top coat application — apply one to two coats of Dekguard E2000 ensuring an unbroken coating
• Application methods — brush, roller or airless spray equipment
• Corner detailing — take special care at external corners and exposed protrusions to maintain coating continuity

Packaging

• Dekguard WB Primer: 20 litre tins
• Dekguard E2000: 20 litre drums

Notes

• Do not apply primer when substrate temperature is too low
• Do not expose to frost within a short period after application
• Do not apply in windy conditions or when rain is likely soon after
• Do not apply when relative humidity is excessively high
• Not suitable for areas subject to ponded water
• Wear appropriate protective equipment and ensure adequate ventilation
• Protect from frost during storage
• Shelf life: twelve months in original unopened packs (per manufacturer)
• For detailed application methods, coverage rates and technical parameters, refer to the official product data sheet

FAQ

How does Dekguard E2000 differ from regular exterior paint?

E2000 is a professional-grade elastomeric anti-carbonation protective coating. Beyond decoration, it provides structural protection by effectively blocking carbon dioxide and chloride ingress into reinforced concrete. Its crack-bridging capability maintains protection even when the substrate cracks, while remaining breathable. Standard exterior paints offer only decorative finish without these protective functions.

What primer is required?

Dekguard WB Primer, a silane-siloxane penetrating primer, is required. The primer forms a hydrophobic barrier within the substrate and stabilises the surface — an essential part of the system's protective performance. The primer must be fully dry before top-coating.
