Fine-Texture Loxon XP™ For Flawless Protection

New Formula Provides Better Aesthetics in a Durable, Direct-to-Concrete Masonry Coating

ORLANDO, Fla. (February 13, 2008) — Building on the success of Loxon XP, a direct-to-concrete, high-build masonry coating that requires no primer and provides exceptional coverage, Sherwin-Williams introduces a fine-texture version of the coating that will cover surface imperfections better for more aesthetically pleasing results. With Loxon XP, builders and contractors can complete concrete jobs faster and more efficiently.

Loxon XP can be applied to fresh concrete and masonry less than 28 days old and cures more quickly than standard coatings, so construction schedules can be accelerated. Designed for use on tilt-up, pre-cast or poured-in-place concrete, as well as concrete masonry units (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, this unique 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, and its high-build formula can be sprayed, rolled or even brushed on in small applications resulting in a breathable film. With its proprietary technology, Loxon XP tolerates pH levels of up to 13. Concrete surfaces coated with Loxon XP will retain their original finish for years without fading, which reduces the frequency of repaints.
