FESTER ACRITON GREEN-SHIELD
Product Features & Why a Mexican Product is Suitable for Malaysia
Fester Acriton Green-Shield 19L is a new generation eco-friendly acrylic waterproofing coating under Henkel’s Fester range, developed in Mexico. It is designed as a Cool Roof + Waterproofing System, providing both waterproof protection and heat reduction performance.
Key Features of FESTER ACRITON GREEN-SHIELD 19L
1. High Solar Reflectivity & Heat Reduction (Cool Roof Technology)
The white reflective surface helps reflect solar radiation and reduce heat absorption.
Special technology helps lower the roof surface temperature.
It can reduce surface temperature by up to 20°C (depending on site conditions).
Why suitable for Malaysia:
Malaysia has:
High temperature throughout the year
Strong sunlight exposure
High solar radiation
Traditional roofs absorb heat, causing:
Higher indoor temperature
Increased air-conditioning usage
Higher electricity consumption
Fester Acriton Green-Shield helps reduce heat load on the building.
2. Flexible Elastomeric Waterproofing Membrane
It is an elastic acrylic waterproof coating.
Able to accommodate minor movement and expansion of concrete surfaces.
Suitable for applications such as:
Roof slab
Concrete roof
External wall / facade (with suitable system)
Why suitable for Malaysia:
Malaysia’s climate creates:
Daytime heat expansion
Rainwater cooling effects
Thermal movement on concrete surfaces
This may cause:
Hairline cracks
Water leakage problems
The flexible membrane helps protect the surface and reduce crack development.
3. Long-Term Protection & Warranty System
Designed to provide long-lasting waterproofing protection.
System performance can reach up to 10 years protection depending on surface condition, application method and maintenance.
Suitable for:
Condominium
Apartment
Shopping Mall
Factory
Commercial Buildings
4. Eco-Friendly Water-Based Technology
Features:
Water-based formulation
Low odour
Environmentally friendly acrylic technology
Safer application compared with solvent-based coatings
5. Protection Against Building Deterioration
Helps protect against:
UV degradation
Surface weathering
Concrete aging
Moisture penetration
Extends the service life of building structures.
Why is a Mexican Product Suitable for Malaysia?
Many people may ask:
“Mexico and Malaysia have different countries and environments. Why is this product suitable for Malaysia?”
The reason is that both countries experience similar environmental challenges.
1. Both Countries Have High Solar Exposure
Mexico experiences:
Strong sunlight
High roof temperature
Intense solar radiation
Therefore, the product was developed with a focus on:
Reflecting solar heat + protecting building surfaces
Malaysia also faces similar conditions.
2. Strong UV Protection Requirement
Malaysia has:
Strong sunlight
High UV exposure
Year-round outdoor weather conditions
Building coatings are easily affected by:
Colour fading
Surface deterioration
Loss of protection
Fester Acriton Green-Shield provides UV-resistant protection for long-term durability.
3. Suitable for Tropical Rainy Climate
Malaysia experiences:
Heavy rainfall
High humidity
Frequent wet and dry cycles
The acrylic waterproofing system helps protect:
Roof areas
External walls
Concrete surfaces
against water penetration.
4. Supported by Henkel Technology
Fester products are developed using Henkel’s global construction technology, providing professional waterproofing and building protection solutions not just ordinary paint.
Customer Presentation Statement:
“Fester Acriton Green-Shield is not just a waterproof coating. It is a new generation Cool Roof waterproofing system developed by Henkel. Originally designed for high solar exposure environments, it is highly suitable for Malaysia’s hot and rainy tropical climate.
