Superior self-cleaning renders PermaRock’s ThermoSan-NQG renders represent the very latest in clean façade render innovation
best in colour fastness and to colour brilliance for unbeatable results and sets the industry benchmark for through-coloured renders.
External façades have to cope with the full force of the weather and climatic conditions, from driving rain and high wind pressures to soiling through dirt and mould growth. The effectiveness of cladding products against the elements has always been of upmost importance to the client and building specifier. With these important issues in mind, PermaRock introduced ThermoSan-NQG through- coloured renders into their product range in 2011.
technology, PermaRock has pioneered the next generation of ‘self-cleaning’ renders which offer superior levels of performance in terms of cleanliness and colour stability and provide unparalleled resistance to the elements. For the client and building owner ThermoSan-NQG renders provide the added value of cost savings over the lifetime of the cladding system through reduced maintenance requirements in comparison to standard acrylic and silicone based renders. Ideally suited for application on

new and existing buildings, ThermoSan-NQG renders are constructed from organically cross- linked nano-particles which form a compact, mineral-hard, three dimensional quartz-matrix structure which protects against soiling and keeps façades cleaner for longer

and the special silicone resin/binder combination also generates water repellent, highly water vapour permeable surfaces. These pioneering materials also incorporate inorganic pigments which offer superior light and colour fastness and enable the use of dark colours on insulated (external wall insulation) backgrounds. PermaRock have specially
developed a colour range for ThermoSan-NQG renders to provide specifiers the latest offerings in terms of material technology and quality whilst bringing near limitless options in terms of colour choice. PermaRock’s Façade A1 range, available in 500 selected colour shades, offers the

FAÇADE A1 COLOUR RANGE The new Façade A1 colour range provides 500 colour shades with the highest colour brilliance and permanent colour stability. Formulated entirely with inorganic pigments, the new colour range is designed to complement our latest ThermoSan-NQG renders which employ unique binder combinations. This combination of carefully
selected materials confers a number of key benefits over standard colour ranges employed with conventional acrylic and silicone renders and coatings.
KEY BENEFITS: • Inorganic pigments enable deep/dark intensive colour shades to be achieved with low air absorption and lower surface temperatures • UV absorbing pigments converts aggressive UV to less harmful longer wavelengths • Two new inorganic pigments replace UV-unstable orange and blue pigments to provide unprecedented colour fastness in this part of the colour spectrum • 500 balanced colour shades over the colour spectrum • Low lightness factors, light/colour stable shades now available • Achieves Class A1 (Class A binders coupled with Class 1 pigments) as classified by B.F.S (Fact Sheet 26).
