Architects, specifiers and design professionals across the United States can now earn AIA continuing education credits with RD Academy. As an AIA Continuing Education Provider, we offer accredited sessions on waterborne protective coatings: how they work, where they perform best, and how to specify them with confidence on your next project. Each session counts toward your AIA learning units, and our team can bring it directly to your firm.
The Lille Presteskjær lighthouse (1895), at the mouth of the Rekefjord in Norway, has been restored to its former glory following a complete external renovation using RD-Elastoflex.
Concrete carbonation is a natural process that occurs gradually when concrete is exposed to air. Here is a clear and structured explanation:
In Hong Kong’s humid, subtropical climate, condensation on warehouse ceilings can lead to drips, product damage, and safety hazards. At a drink manufacturer's busy distribution facility, we solved the problem with RD-Aquasorb — our waterborne moisture-regulating coating. Unlike many mould-resistant paints, RD-Aquasorb contains no biocides. Its unique spongy microstructure naturally absorbs excess moisture from the air and releases it gradually, helping prevent drips while keeping ceilings...
Since 2000, RD Coatings has been innovating in waterborne technical coatings, delivering sustainable, high-performance solutions for the construction and industrial sectors through applied research and industrial agility.
In the ISO 12944 standard, which defines corrosion protection for steel structures using protective paint systems, the C5 Very High (C5-VH) classification refers to the most severe atmospheric corrosion environments – C5 – with the demand for a long durability – Very High / VH – of the coating system.
This table provides an overview of the most common coating systems tailored to different environments and expected durability levels.
RD Coatings has achieved C5 Very High certification for its groundbreaking, high-performance, water-based coating: RD-Monoguard!This is a world-first: RD-Monoguard is the only single-pack, water-based paint to obtain this very high-level certification.
RD-Elastoflex and RD-Elastometal selected for the renovation of steel and concrete structures.
High-performance elastomeric coating combining superior anti-corrosion and waterproofing properties. RD-Elastometal has exceptional permanent elasticity, stretching up to 200% of its original length without breaking! This guarantees perfect adhesion and watertightness for steel roofs subject to continuous expansion and contraction.
