Product Description

Resene X-200 is an acrylic waterproofing membrane incorporating the most recent advances in polymer and paint technology. Shows significant advances in the areas of film build, adhesion, penetration, application and durability.
Resene X-200 is also available in a Resene Cool Colour variant. NB. Resene Cool Colours need to be clearly identified in both the product specification and colour schedule to ensure correct tinting is applied.

Technical and Environmental Benefits

Resene X-200 has been certified by Environmental Choice NZ as well as independently reviewed by EnviroSpec for its points contribution potential in Green Star NZ and Homestar building rating systems. Unwanted paint and paint containers can be returned to the Resene PaintWise paint and paint packaging recovery programme. Returns are donated to community groups, sent to solvent recovery, packaging is recycled and other paint goes into covering graffiti and research on alternative uses. Cool colours reflect more heat than standard colours, reducing stress on the paint, substrate and building, reducing heat transference inside and potentially helping reduce the need for air conditioning, all other design features of the building being equal. Additional benefits include:

• Remarkable ease of application.
• Superior void and crack filling properties.
• Excellent durability. Requires no further 'weathering' coats.

Manufacturer and Supplier Information - Resene Paints Ltd

Resene started its quest towards more sustainable practices in the 1950s when it introduced waterborne paint. In 1996 Resene became the first New Zealand paint company to offer an extensive range of Environmental Choice approved products, Resene has since continued innovating in this space. In 2007 Resene Zylone Sheen VOC Free was introduced, and more recently Non VOC tinters have been introduced. The Cool Colours range provides exterior paints formulated to reflect solar radiation that would normally be absorbed. This is claimed to reduce substrate stress, improve paint longevity, and can help reduce heat absorption through building fabric which in turn could mean less air conditioning requirements. Resene also operates the PaintWise recycling programme, which includes a world-first" mobile paint collection and recovery

Application and Purpose

Application: Resene X-200 may be applied by brush, roller or airless spray.

Installation and Maintenance

Resene products are guaranteed to provide film integrity and adhesion for the expected life of the paint system. Maintenance: Avoid cleaning the paint finish until at least four weeks after application time to ensure it has had sufficient time to fully develop its properties. Keep any cleaning to a minimum to avoid damaging the paint film. Follow the care and cleaning instructions in the Resene Caring for your paint finish brochure.
