In response to a question about Permcoat: What is an Elastomeric Coating?

Coatings have been around for over 40 years and began originally as an “elastomeric”. Regular paint was mixed with plasticizers to give paint more flexibility, breathability as well as a better water/moisture barrier, and would work more effectively and a lot longer at protecting a building’s exterior. Today, there are a number of Elstomeric and Polymer-Resin coatings to choose from. Each have different properties and performance characteristics in relation to the surface they are being applied to.
PermCoat is an elastomeric, polymer-resin coating that has superior performance characteristics over conventional paint against chipping, cracking, peeling, or fading. PermCoat’s formulation is designed specifically for exterior sidings, it is 5 times more breathable that paint for superior vapor transmission, comes in over 900 colors, fades about 3% over 10 years and is warrantied against chipping, cracking, peeling or un-even fading for the LIFETIME of the “Original” owner.
