Technical Specifications

Why Choose COTEC LEGACY ELASTOMER 888?

Professional Grade Performance: Formulated for demanding commercial and residential applications where standard paints fail. The elastomeric properties ensure long-term protection against weather, thermal movement, and structural settling.

Cost-Effective Solution: While premium-priced, the superior coverage, durability, and crack-bridging properties provide excellent long-term value by reducing maintenance cycles and preventing costly water damage.

Proven Technology: Incorporates the latest polymer technology with surface cross-linking chemistry, ensuring optimal performance in harsh exterior conditions.

Application Guidelines

Surface Preparation: Suitable for new unpainted cementitious surfaces (aged minimum 28 days) and previously painted surfaces in good condition. Requires proper surface preparation including cleaning, power washing (minimum 3500 PSI), and appropriate priming.

Recommended Primers:
– TRUEPREP MULTIPRIME for cementitious surfaces
– TRUEPREP ACRYLIC PRIMER for enhanced adhesion
– TRUEPREP LIMESTOP for lime-rich substrates

Application Conditions: Apply when air and surface temperatures are above 10°C and will remain so during application and drying. Avoid application before heavy rain to prevent blistering.

Important Considerations

– Cures slowly due to high film build – choose weather conditions carefully
– Total dry film build of 250-300 microns needed for optimum crack-bridging properties
– Not recommended for interior use or surfaces subject to foot traffic
– Not suitable for hydrostatic pressure applications
