Packing a powerful punch!
Plascon has been producing industry-leading coatings for over 130 years and has pioneered its own guarantee systems in South Africa. Micatex, specifically, has been one of the preferred products of architects for the past 25 years.

Inspired by the resiliency of South Africa, Plascon Micatex now comes with a 15-year guarantee so you know your walls will last a long time. Micatex is supported by a strong Research and Development team and has over 40 years of testing behind it enabling it to stand the test of time.
With its long-respected and powerful duo of Mica for stretch and Marble for strength, Plascon Micatex has been one of the trusted household names for decades. But now, Micatex has been developed even further, by making its already weather-tough exterior finish even tougher with the addition of yet another respected brand – Polycell Fine Crack Filler – allowing the user to enjoy the benefits of Micatex and Polycell Fine Crack Filler in one.
The new Micatex with Polycell combines two top products long revered by consumers for superlative quality and durability, making it 23% tougher than its nearest competitor. Micatex with Polycell is a match made in heaven, designed to withstand even the most hellish of weather. Now backed up by a 15-year guarantee.
Fixing hairline cracks is painstaking and time-consuming – a nightmare for most homeowners, let alone the contractors who have multi-storey buildings to coat. In the past, the thousands of hairline cracks that pepper a building’s walls would need to be scrupulously filled before any painting could take place. Now, Plascon has done all the hard work by adding Polycell Fine Crack filler to Micatex.
Not only will Micatex with Polycell cover any hairline cracks at the same time as it coats them, but Plascon has also taken its new Micatex formula yet another step further, by adding a host of other bonuses to this already convenient new product. Micatex with Polycell has twice the film thickness of conventional paints and is tougher. WeatherTough technology, unique to Plascon, and Polycell Fine Crack Filler combine to ensure that moisture doesn’t seep through hairline cracks, in turn, preventing dampness and damage to the paint film. Micatex with Polycell not only simplifies the application process but is also easy to maintain. With low dirt pick up, walls coated in Micatex with Polycell are easy to clean. Add long-lasting colour to the mix and your walls will have that ‘just painted’ look for years to come.
Micatex with Polycell is a great innovation that comes with a trustworthy reputation. Plascon’s Micatex has always been a hero product. Improving it now is in line with the company’s concerted drive to reinvent itself and renew its product offering, ensuring that Plascon’s leading products continue to remain top of mind because of the unsurpassable value that they offer users. You can rest assured that Plascon’s Micatex with Polycell has got you covered.
