NWRT-91 can be applied by two methods, either a labor-intensive process involving hand application, ensuring a precise application of color and artistry to each individual unit, or by spray application when complete coverage is desired.
Nawkaw Water Repellent Treatment, (NWRT-91), is a water-based, color-penetrating water repellent in a hydrous, multiple-polymer formulation of resin solids, color pigments and specially formulated tint base to give a wide range of colors. It is designed to exhibit the overall characteristics of being light fast, UV resistant, penetrating, aspiratory, quick drying, and mold, fungus, mildew and water resistant. This product is for use on above-grade vertical masonry surfaces.
THE RESULTS
Staining of the brick and mortar was completed in just three months and consisted of cleaning, light restoration work, and brick and mortar color application. A total of three crews were required, and Nawkaw provided everything from beginning to end to complete the building in time for a scheduled Grand Re-Opening Gala for the hospital. The groundbreaking took place in 2004, and work was completed nearly two years later. The new construction greatly enhanced the appearance of the facility, so much so that stain was later chosen as a viable solution to color match the concrete parking deck to the newly stained masonry expansion.

TEXTROFLASH™
LIQUID
Air and Vapor Barrier
The unique composition of this single component material enables dual usage as both a permeable and non-permeable air/vapor barrier system. Textroflash Liquid can also be exposed to UV for up to 145 days, much longer than many products on the market today.
TEXTROFLASH™ LIQUIDVP is a vapor permeable air barrier. The "breathable" barrier allows proper drainage in various types of wall systems and promotes drying of the wall cavity in either direction. It provides protection from the effects of energy loss, condensation, efflorescence, bacterial growth and mold. More environmentally friendly than other spray applied products, Textroflash™ Liquid VP is a resilient, seamless membrane with water-resistant properties.
