  • Shelf Life
  • Waterproofing – Higher film thickness provides crack bridging ability, waterproofing properties.
  • Flexibility – Flexible and covers hairline cracks (upto 0.5 mm) effectively, thus prevents ingress of water
  • Toughness – Tough film withstands wind driven rain.
  • Elastomeric – High elasticity easily withstands stress caused by thermal expansion & contraction
  • Ready to use – No dilution is required
  • Microbial resistance – Resistance to fungus and algae hence maintains the aesthetic value.
  • UV resistant – Resistance to UV hence coating has longer life.
  • Low dirt pick up – Very low dirt pick up & can be cleaned easily hence maintains the aesthetics.
  • Breathability – Permeable to water vapour
  • Ease of application – User friendly, easily applicable by brush, roller or spray.
  • Non Toxic – It is Eco friendly
  • All types of exterior masonry surfaces, concrete, cement sand renderings, etc
  • Applicable on asbestos sheets.
  • Use Dubond's Rainshield directly from the container. Stir contents well before use.
  • Apply two neat coats of Dubond's Rainshield without dilution by brush or roller at a time interval of 5-6 hours.
  • For enhanced protection, apply additional coat of Dubond's Rainshield on rain lashing walls, chajjas and parapet walls.
  • Allow the coated surface to air cure fully for 7 days.
