Antimould Emulsion

Description
An excellent, premium quality, low odour antimould coating guaranteed to protect against unsightly and unhygienic black mould even when there is persistent condensation. The unsurpassed performance is achieved by combining modern paint technology with highly advanced, proven biocides. The antimould biocide is combined throughout the paint film which is formulated to impart toughness, elasticity, water resistance and durability to the finish. Ideal for walls and ceilings in private and social housing and a wide range of public and commercial buildings. It is fully washable and resistant to the effects of condensation when the coating is fully dried out.

Properties
- Guaranteed for a minimum of FIVE YEARS to prevent the recurrence of Black Mould.
- Quick drying with no overpainting problems; compatible with all known paint finishes.
- Approved under HSE Control of Pesticides 1986 Regulations as a biocidal paint treatment against mould growth.
- Easy to use and cost effective.

The Drytech Antimould Emulsion will help compliance with Section 82 (Statutory Nuisance), Chapter 43 of the Environmental Protection Act 1990, either used alone or part of various strategies to prevent condensation and mould growth in both private and public tenanted accommodation.

Anticondensation Coating

Description
A high quality coating recommended for use on areas not subject to abrasion or washing. Typically this means ceilings, underside of roofing sheets, ducting, steel building frames, pipework and inside cupboards. Drytech Anticondensation Coating inhibits condensation by absorbing moisture and improving insulation; contains a biocide for the sole purpose of protecting the paint in the can applied film from mould growth.

Form supplied: Ready to use
Pack sizes: 2.5 and 5 litres
Colour: White


Properties
- Porous relatively soft coating resistant to high levels of condensation when fully dried.
- Absorbs moisture during periods of high humidity and releases it later when the humidity drops.
- Provides a non washable matt finish.

Product Data
Composition Light fast alkali resistant non lead pigments and inert mineral fillers bound together by an acrylated copolymer emulsion.
Drying time Single coat at normal thickness: up to 4 hours before re-coating. Subsequent coats will apparently dry more quickly due to the absorption effect from below. Where condensation is likely to occur almost immediately after painting maintain extra ventilation and heating (if necessary) for 24 hour to allow thorough drying.
Practical coverage Apply at no more than 5m²/litre. Apply at least two coats.
Thinning Not recommended.

Heat Recovery Ventilators

Description (Eclipse from Stadium Ventilation)
The ventilator provides a continuous air change in the room by replacing stale moisture-laden air with fresh warmed air. It recovers up to 80% of the heat from the stale air which is used to heat the incoming fresh air.

The unit is fully automatic and works in conjunction with a humidity sensor. When humidity levels rise within the room the unit switches to boost mode to quickly clear the damp and condensation, and once these levels fall to aceptable levels the ventilator returns to its normal quite mode.

- Average Volume of air exchanged*                               370m³/24h
- External Temperature                                                  7°C

Drytech Condensation Control Unit

Description
This virtually maintenance free unit fits into the loft or ceiling space and contains a highly efficient centrifugal fan unit, operated by means of an electronic control system.

Air is drawn into the unit from the roof space, filtered and fed through an outlet at the top of the stairs. Warm air which naturally accumulates in this area is then redistributed throughout the house, resulting in a slight positive pressure which then forces the older moisture laden air out of the house together with any smells and smoke etc.



Advantages
- Reduces draughts
- Relieves chimney downdraughts
- Recirculates heat normally lost through the ceiling
- Provides cleaner filtered air (helping sufferers of asthma and hay fever)



Nu-Air Ventilation Systems

Description
(how it works) Powerful, centrifugal blowers bring fresh air into the home while an equal amount of stale, humid air is exhausted to the outside. This exhausting air first flows through the cross-flow heat exchanger and transfers the heat to the incoming fresh air, which is also filtered. The warmed fresh air is then distributed to each room of the house through an independent duct work system.



Product Data
Several models available from 64l/s (140cfm) up to 114l/s (250cfm)
