GE Optic 3101 Translucent Silicone Coating is a low VOCs, 100% silicone elastomeric coating used to provide a waterproof barrier to above grade surfaces. Optic 3101 Translucent coating cures to a durable, flexible and weatherproof membrane that is translucent for visual aesthetics. This breathable waterproof barrier typically takes 85% less in time and cost than brick removal/reinstallation, but can last for decades, and all without sacrificing the original beauty of the building. Optic Translucent coating can securely bond to most substrates, including brick, concrete, natural stone, stucco, masonry, wood, copper, EIFS, aluminum, glass, and many painted surfaces.
Features & Benefits
Durable silicone excellent long-term resistance to natural weathering from extreme temperatures, ultraviolet radiation, rain and snow and will not harden, crack or peel
Protects against water intrusion even from wind-driven rain
Low VOC, compliant with most air quality requirements
Waterproofs with high vapor permeability for building moisture management
Thin film application allows the underlying substrate to show through
Waterproofs while allowing light transmission to pass through in applications such as glass blocks or sky lights
Anti-graffiti; resistant to non-mechanical vandalism and graffiti, most paints and inks can be easily removed with simple cleaning methods
Applications
Optic Translucent coating can securely bond to most substrates, including brick, concrete, natural stone, stucco, masonry, wood, copper, EIFS, aluminum, glass, and many painted surfaces.
Brick, natural stones, and other surfaces where significant appearance change is undesirable
Glass block walls, skylights, stained glass windows, daylighting features, shelters, and other substrates through which light transmission is required
ASTM D6578 Standard Practice for Determination of Graffiti Resistance.
ASTM D6904 Standard Practice for Resistance to Wind-Driven Rain for Exterior Coatings Applied on Masonry.
Limitations
Customers must evaluate MPM products and make their own determination as to the fitness of use in their particular applications
