Kool n Seal



Product Information
Bring home one of the most advanced technologies in construction - Birla White
Kool-n-Seal. It is a revolutionary coating material, which outperforms every other traditional option. When applied on the roof or exterior walls, its unique formulation cools the building interiors, reducing the need for air conditioning and cutting your electricity bills. In addition, Kool-n-Seal also seals minor cracks in the surface and helps arrest seepage. Unlike other coating materials, it can be easily applied in the form of slurry with a brush. That's why, it is ideal for roofs, terraces, water tanks, cracks in parapet walls and water pipes.

Benefits

  • Protection from heat: Kool-n-Seal is a superior UV resistant coating, which when applied on the flat-roof surface, reflects the heat and reduces the indoor temperature by 4-5 centigrade. When applied on water-tanks, it prevents excessive heating of water during summers.
  • Protection from water-related damages: Kool-n-Seal reflects the heat incident on the roof, thus preventing the occurrence of cracks due to expansion. This ensures enhanced durability of the roof surface and RCC slab. It also covers hairline cracks on the surface and ensures that water doesn't seep-in through the walls and ceiling. Thus, it protects the structure from water-related damages (like rusting of steel in RCC slab).
  • Best value for your money: Kool-n-Seal brings you two strong benefits in a single product and that too, at a reasonable price.

FAQs

Q. What is Kool-n-Seal?
A. Kool-n-Seal is a cement based elastomeric coating.

Q. In what form Kool-n-Seal is available?
A. It is available in dry free flowing powder form in 1 kg and 20 kg packs.

Q. What are the main constituents of Kool-n-Seal?
A. It consists of Birla White cement, high-quality polymers, speciality chemicals and mineral fillers.

Q. What is the function of Kool-n-Seal?
A. It gives dual benefits - reduces the indoor temperature and seals minor cracks on the surface.

Q. How many coats of Kool-n-Seal are suitable for any surface?
A. Ideally, two coats. The second coat should be perpendicular to first coat to create a netting effect.

Q. Do I need to cure the surface before applying Kool-n-Seal?
A. No, curing is not required but the application surface should be clean and dry.

Q. Can I use Kool-n-Seal as a waterproofing material?
A. Kool-n-Seal is a surface coat; it can effectively prevent water seepage.

Q. How does Kool-n-Seal reduce the temperature of the surfaces?
A. Kool-n-Seal contains speciality chemicals, which reduces the absorption of heat. Thus it deflects UV rays and reduces heat.

Q. Can I use Kool-n-Seal for repairing structural cracks?
A. No, crack fillers or grouts are to be used in such cases.

Q. Can I use Kool-n-Seal on Syntex water storage tanks?
A. Yes, it is extremely effective in reducing the temperature of water (by almost 10 degrees).

Q. How much water is to be added to make a slurry of Kool-n-Seal?
A. About 50-60% of water is to be added to prepare Kool-n-Seal slurry and it should be added in an incremental manner.

Q. Does Kool-n-Seal require curing after application?
A. No, curing is not required.

Q. What is the average coverage area of Kool-n-Seal?
A. Usually, the coverage area of Kool-n-Seal will depend on the surface quality. Under normal conditions, it will provide a coverage area of 10-12 sq.ft./kg.

Q. How is the Kool-n-Seal slurry applied on the surface?
A. Kool-n-Seal slurry is to be applied with the help of a paint brush.

Q. What is the expected life of Kool-n-Seal coating?
A. If instructions are followed properly, Kool-n-Seal should last for at least three years.

Q. Can I apply Kool-n-Seal inside a water tank?
A. Yes, Kool-n-Seal is non-toxic in nature and can be applied inside the tank. Water can be stored in the tank after 4-7 days of application.
