Perma-Crete High Build 100% Acrylic Topcoat is a heavy-duty topcoat for interior and exterior masonry surfaces that protects against sun, heat, humidity, dirt, salt and efflorescence, thereby extending the repaint cycle, says the manufacturer. The topcoat also fills existing hairline cracks while providing a water-resistant coating that keeps wind-driven rain out and allows moisture vapor from the interior to escape. The paint dries to a flat finish and can be applied to surfaces less than 28 days old for a reduced time schedule.
