Blok-Lok: Coburg Water Reclamation Facility

At the Coburg Water Reclamation Facility in Coburg, OR, maintaining the integrity and appearance of the facility’s split-faced block buildings is critical. Constant exposure to water, weather, and environmental elements can take a toll on unprotected masonry, leading to damage and costly repairs. To address these challenges, contractor Fine Painting applied Blok-Lok to protect the buildings and ensure they remain protected from graffiti and water damage for years to come.

Blok-Lok is a high-performance, water-based silane/siloxane sealer designed to protect masonry, concrete, and wood surfaces. Its breathable formula penetrates deep into porous materials, creating an invisible barrier that repels water while allowing trapped moisture to escape. This ensures long-lasting protection without altering the natural appearance of the surface.

Why Blok-Lok was the Perfect Choice:

• Efflorescence Prevention: Blok-Lok stops the buildup of white, chalky deposits on masonry surfaces.

• Water Damage Protection: Forms a hydrophobic barrier that repels water and prevents moisture from seeping into the blocks.

• UV and Weather Resistance: Keeps the surface protected from the sun’s rays and harsh environmental conditions.

• Graffiti Coating Compatibility: Can be top coated with a VandlGuard Anti-Graffiti coating for added protection.

• Eco-Friendly: With low VOC content, Blok-Lok is safe for both applicators and the environment.

Fine Painting’s use of Blok-Lok ensures that the split-faced blocks at the Coburg Water Reclamation Facility are safeguarded against water intrusion, weathering, and long-term deterioration. Thanks to its durable, eco-friendly formula, Blok-Lok was the ideal solution for protecting the facility’s masonry while maintaining its natural look.
