Breathability

Permeability otherwise know as “Breathability” or “Perm-Rating” is a subject many paint companies do not want you to understand.

The fact is however; permeability is one of the most important factors in determining whether or not any type of coating will last. Let us explain further:

Why the bouncing basketball?

Liquid Ceramic is highly resistant to water penetration but yet it allows vapor to pass through at an astounding rate of 20 perms!  The basketball image is a way for us to explain it.  We use the image to demonstrate the size relationship of water as a liquid (the basketball) and water as a vapor (the grape) in a direct ratio of 1,600:1(water-vapor : water-liquid). 

The openings in the mesh represent the micro-pore structure of the Liquid Ceramic membrane.  The pores are so fine that they do not let water pass through, yet they allow vapor to easily migrate through the coating. 

If the moisture’s not pushing it away from the wall, it has a constant bond, therefore lasting indefinitely! Makes a lot of sense doesn’t it?
