See coverage, VOC and technical specification. Residential projects looking for a discreet facade, without the strong contrast of a pure white or the visual weight of dark tones, often land on a soft beige like Egyptian Cotton within the Coral Proteção Sol & Chuva palette. The waterproofing performance behind that color choice, protection against infiltration, cracks, algae and mold, stays the same across the line. ## Technical data Classified under ABNT NBR 11702 (09/2019), type 4.5.16. Composition: modified acrylic resin, active and inert pigments, coalescents, thickeners, microbicides, other additives and water. Solids by volume 41% to 47%; VOC 1.5 to 24.0 g/L. ## Application Coverage up to 85 m² per 18 L container. 10% dilution, 3 coats as reference. Touch-dry in 30 minutes, between coats in 4 hours, full cure in 24 hours. ## Treating cracks or structural cracks A hairline crack under 0.2 mm needs only cleaning, brushing and a coat of wall primer before finishing. Anything wider calls for a V-groove cut, a fill of product and sand (2-3 parts sand to 1 part product) over polyester mesh, and at least 3 finish coats on top. ## Technical specification | Field | Specification | |---|---| | Line | Coral Proteção Sol & Chuva Pintura Impermeabilizante | | Color | Egyptian Cotton | | Classification | ABNT NBR 11702 (09/2019), type 4.5.16 | | Coverage | Up to 85 m² per 18 L | ## FAQ ### Does Egyptian Cotton work with traditional ceramic roofing?
