Loxon XP™ For Ultimate Waterproofing Protection In One Less Coat

Increased Flexibility, Weather Resistance and Durability in a Direct-To-Concrete Formula

(ORLANDO – January 13, 2005) – Builders, property managers and contractors can get concrete jobs done faster and more efficiently while providing longer-lasting protection with new Sherwin-Williams Loxon XP™, a direct-to-concrete, high-build masonry coating that requires no primer and provides exceptional coverage.  Designed for use on tilt-up, precast, or poured-in-place concrete, as well as CMU, cement block and stucco surfaces, Loxon XP provides superior resistance to alkali and efflorescence.  With one less coat required to achieve the desired results, the unique new product achieves maximum performance, which saves on time and labor costs because jobs can be turned faster.

Loxon XP also has excellent resistance to moisture penetration from wind-driven rain, which makes retaining a great looking finish easier.  The high-build formula, which must be applied at a minimum of 14.0-18.0 mils wft and 6.4-8.3 mils dft, can be sprayed, rolled or even brushed on in small applications.  With its proprietary technology, Loxon XP tolerates pH levels of up to 13 and can be applied to fresh concrete of less than 28 days old so construction schedules can be accelerated.

Loxon XP is available in Sherwin-Williams in a wide array of colors, and with its long-lasting durability, flexibility and fade resistance can be counted on for years of good looks with fewer repaints.

For over 135 years, Sherwin-Williams has satisfied the coating and color needs of builders, designers, specifiers, property managers and contractors.  Sherwin-Williams provides fast, flexible, responsive local service and personalized, expert advice.  3,000 stores and 1,500 sales representatives make Sherwin-Williams North America’s largest single-source supplier of high-quality paints, stains, masonry coatings and brand-name wall and floor coverings.
