The Vm-3 Liquid Vinyl System 

Vm-3 Liquid Vinyl System was developed to overcome one of the inherent deficiencies in conventional surface coatings…..that is to provide film continuity in the event of any existing or developing cracks and corrosion protection.

The Vm-3 System has advantages over other conventional vinyl coatings, due to:- 

Vm-3 has improved intercoat adhesion.Vm-3 can be applied to virtually any dry, clean porous substrate and clean hard surfaces. Concrete, masonry, stucco, plaster, sheet rock, stainless steel, steel, wood, fibreglass and acrylic. Vm-3 has a tensile strength of 15.10 mpa and elongates in excess of one hundred and forty percent at 20 degrees Celsius and remains flexible at temperatures as low as minus 30 degrees Celsius.Vm-3 contains a new generation of resins, plasticizers and solvents; higher technology and "new improved formulas". Vm-3 does not support combustion with a zero flame spread rating.Vm-3 has improved abrasion resistance. In accordance with AS1580-403.1 the Vm-3 liquid vinyl had an impresser loading of 3800(g).
Vm-3 retains it colour. Coated surfaces have gone beyond 10 years without discolouration and may easily be rejuvenated at anytime. Vm-3 will not allow mildew or mould to grow and has excellent chemical resistance unaffected by most acids, alkalis, oils and even seawater. It is also approved for water potability to AS4020. Vm-3 has as per AS1580.408.5 an adhesion strength of greater than 3.5 (MPa) when applied to a concrete substrate.Vm-3 is easily cleaned with simple detergents.For any project requiring a flexible coating with excellent protective properties, consider the Vm-3 System, a vinyl coating exclusive to Vinyl Systems.

There is a growing realisation by architects, design engineers and applicators responsible for drawing up coating specifications, that modern high performance coatings are much less tolerant of low standards of surface preparation and application than traditional paints.There is also a growing expectation on the part of the consumer that product performance can be extended over longer periods.Consequently, there is an increasing need for control, beyond the technical assistance provided by the coating supplier, to cover surface preparation and coating application.

Vinyl has one of the broadest and most useful ranges of properties of any coating. Successfully used in ships, bridges, locks, dams, interiors and exteriors of water storage tanks, sewerage and water treatment plants and swimming pools.High performance in corrosive environments and heavy-duty maintenance market.Vinyl after initial application does not require sandblasting as it has excellent long-term recoatability via a solvent-welding mechanism.Single -package systems without mixing and pot life complicatioos.With the cost of maintenance increasing steadily and corrosion problems increasing, vinyl has the history of being one of the most effective coatings.Flexibility in the vinyl coating.Resistance against salt, UV rays, acids, alkalis and oils.

It has been known for a long time that PVC finishes inside a swimming pool gives the lowest maintenance surface available. VM-3 gives you all of these advantages i.e. no blackspot, UV treated, uses less chemicals, soft to touch etc. but with the added advantages of being bonded to the surface, no seams or joins, unaffected by most chemicals and easily re-coated instead of full replacement. Shapes and sizes are not a problem as the VM-3 is sprayed to whatever structure is in existence. Whether a new pool or renovation, domestic or commercial pool VM-3 offers many advantages over other types of interior finishes.
