Protecting Concrete Walls from Rain and Cracks with Polymer Coatings

Every building ages from the outside in.
The façade takes the full impact of rain, UV, dust, and thermal stress—and when coatings fail, cracks let water creep in, starting a chain reaction of peeling paint, efflorescence, and structural decay.
A true exterior wall waterproof coating must breathe, flex, and protect—all at once.


1 | The Real Enemies of Exterior Walls

Even the best plaster or concrete cannot resist nature’s persistence:

  • Capillary absorption draws moisture into micro-cracks.

  • UV degradation breaks down resins and pigments.

  • Thermal expansion widens gaps between wall layers.

  • Freeze–thaw cycles create hairline cracks that expand each season.

Left untreated, façade damage spreads inward, affecting insulation and interior finishes.


2 | Engineering the Ideal Waterproof Film

YUNYAN’s exterior wall waterproof coating integrates elastic acrylic polymers, UV-stable pigments, and silicone additives for a balanced protective membrane.

Component Function Technical Effect
Acrylic polymer Core binder Crack bridging and flexibility
Silicone additive Hydrophobic agent Water beading & self-cleaning
Mineral filler Structural strength Anti-sag and texture control
UV absorber Weather stabilizer Fade and chalk resistance

YUNYAN Performance Benchmarks:

  • Elongation ≥ 250 % (EN 1062-7)

  • Water absorption ≤ 0.05 kg / m²·h⁰·⁵

  • Adhesion ≥ 1.0 MPa (EN 1542)

  • Accelerated UV aging ≥ 2000 h (ΔE < 2)

  • Vapor transmission ≥ 150 g / m²·24 h (breathable system)

This balance of elasticity and permeability prevents blistering while allowing walls to “breathe out” internal humidity.


3 | Comparison — Acrylic vs. Silicone-Modified Systems

Property Standard Acrylic YUNYAN Silicone-Modified
Hydrophobicity Moderate Excellent (contact angle > 100°)
UV Resistance Good Superior (no chalking > 2000 h)
Crack Bridging 0.3 mm 0.5 mm +
Color Retention 2–3 years 5–7 years +
Maintenance Cycle 5 years 10 years +

Silicone-modified acrylics achieve the best of both worlds—flexible yet highly weather-resistant, ideal for high-rise and coastal projects.


4 | Recommended Applications

Application Zone Environmental Stress Recommended YUNYAN Product Key Advantage
Urban Façades Pollution & UV Silicone-acrylic coating Long-term color stability
Coastal Buildings Salt spray & humidity Elastomeric wall coating Anti-salt penetration
Cold Regions Freeze–thaw cycles Flexible acrylic system Crack-bridging ability
Commercial Complexes Aesthetic & durability demand Textured façade coating Decorative + protective
Historical Renovations Breathability & preservation Mineral-silicate coating Compatible with aged plaster

Each formulation is optimized for regional climate, substrate type, and architectural design intent.
