After the devastating damage caused in the Christchurch earthquakes, Resene fielded many calls about how to repair and repaint damaged buildings.  To make this information accessible to all, Resene created a booklet covering the main paint systems recommended.  A copy of the Resene Paint Systems for Earthquake Affected Buildings booklet can be viewed free on the Resene website, or those in Christchurch can pick up a booklet copy from their local Resene ColorShop

A popular option for use in earthquake affected areas is Resene X-200, which combines low viscosity with high build, ensuring excellent penetration into cracks and pores and superb adhesion.  It develops into a tough, durable and continuous membrane, while its fibre reinforcement increases tensile strength. 

Resene X-200 has a lightly textured low-sheen finish, in keeping with current trends for lower gloss finishes.  It is easily applied and has excellent durability.

Available in an extensive range of Resene colours, including the heat-reflective Resene CoolColour technology.  Colours formulated with Resene CoolColour technology reflect more of the sun’s energy than a standard colour, keeping the paint, surface and building cooler.

It’s also available in a Wintergrade variant; Resene Wintergrade X-200, for use in the colder months.  This special variant is designed to cure at very low temperatures, down to 2°C.

Resene X-200 is a popular choice for refurbishments in areas prone to earthquakes and for concrete buildings nationwide.
