Glory Acid Wash Concrete Cleaner is an inhibited acid chemical etcher produced by Nasib Industrial Products Limited in Nairobi. It opens concrete floor pores and removes efflorescence to guarantee floor paint adhesion. Sienna Paints supplies 5L and 20L containers nationwide.
Glory Acid Wash Concrete Cleaner is an inhibited acid etching solution engineered to dissolve concrete laitance, open surface pores, and guarantee epoxy floor paint adhesion.
Duracoat Alkali Resistant Primer is a high quality water based acrylic copolymer primer intended for use on masonry surface to minimize unsightly white salts or "efflorescence" migrating through the applied coating system. The primer forms a barrier over alkali substrates limiting the reaction with atmospheric Carbon Dioxide thus reducing the formation of unsightly white deposits or "efflorescence" on the surface typically associated with coating of highly alkaline fresh masonry.
Alkali-resistant pure acrylic exterior primer engineered to neutralize free lime, block efflorescence, and provide an adhesive foundation for exterior acrylic facade paints.
Hydrophobic oligomeric siloxane impregnating agent that penetrates deeply into concrete and stone, creating an invisible, 100% breathable water-repellent barrier against rain and efflorescence.
Sadolin Dampshield™ Moisture Barrier is an authoritative matt grey water-based coating from Sadolin Paints delivering exceptional durability, coverage of 4 - 6 m²/L, and long-lasting protection across Rising Damp Plaster, Retaining Concrete Walls.
A modified alkyd-based primer for masonry and gypsum surfaces.
Heavy-duty 4-inch wall and floor scraper with reversible high-carbon steel blade for stripping flaking paint, adhesive residues, and mortar snots before coating.
Heavy-duty 2-inch stiff chisel paint scraper featuring a solid steel striking cap and a 25-degree chisel-ground edge. Built to gouge out stubborn flaking paint, blistered render, and rust scale.
Glory Emulsion Undercoat White is a water-based preparatory primer-sealer designed to equalize suction, resist alkali, and provide an opaque white base on masonry and plaster.
Duracoat Tile Grout is a cement based fine powder filler for Tile joints. It contains special binder, water proofing additive, Efflorescence reducing additive and inert aggregates. It is supplied in three standard colors.
High chemical alkalinity (pH 12 to 14) in fresh Portland cement plaster burns standard paint pigments, while migrating capillary moisture deposits soluble mineral salts (efflorescence) beneath the film, resulting in unsightly white crystalline crusts, chalking, and blistering.
White chalky salt crusts and flaking plaster caused by moisture rising through masonry foundations.
Commercial outdoor murals and public art installations in Kenya suffer rapid failure from moisture ingress through unsealed boundary wall copings, severe UV pigment fading, traffic soot contamination, and defacement without protective clear topcoats.
That chalky white crystalline crust blooming across your brick or plaster is efflorescence. It is not mould; it is migrating mineral salts pushed out by evaporating moisture.
Why standard PVA paints bubble over fresh cement plaster. The science of alkali resistance, efflorescence blocking, and deep-penetrating masonry primers.
A technical diagnostic guide for diaspora Kenyans finishing houses that have stood exposed to the elements. Covers weathered plaster inspection, moisture testing, crack consolidation, and efflorescence remediation.
Painting over a damp wall is the fastest way to waste money in Kenya. Understand the difference between rising damp, penetrating damp, and condensation before opening a tin.
