Silicate paint for walls with moisture
WHEN USING silicate paints?
For the chemical reaction, silicate paints require a support containing silicon. Therefore they are ideal for mineral substrates such as mineral plasters and concrete.
They are not suitable for mounting wood, plastic, and to apply to other paintings in oils or plastic paints.
The water vapor permeability (breathability) of silicate paints equals the bracket. This means that just silicate paints prevent the diffusion of water vapor.The moisture contained in the site or in the plaster can diffuse outwards unhindered. This keeps the dry walls and prevents damage to the work. So they are suitable for application on walls and stands with residual moisture.
It also avoids condensation on the surface, thus reducing the risk of an attack by algae or fungi. The high alkalinity of the silicate as binder is added security against the growth of microorganisms and allows completely renounce the use of preservatives.
Painted with mineral paint surfaces soiled less, since not acquire electrostatic charges or become sticky with heat (not thermoplastic) as resins based paints. Therefore dirt particles adhere less and can be removed with ease in May.
Silicate paints are not flammable and do not contain organic compounds or organic solvents, which are fireproof.
The color of silicate paints is extremely stable. Since only are colored with mineral pigments that are not affected by UV light, silicate paints retain their stable hue over decades.
Silicate paints based on mineral raw materials. They are very respectful of the environment in their manufacture and effect. Their durability saves resources and composition, free from harmful substances, protects the environment and health. Therefore, silicate paints are highly appreciated today, especially in the field of bio.
Characteristics and properties of silicate
It is reinforced siloxanes, a type of silicone resin gives the ability to absorb the steam, but not water, achieving a good flow of moisture.
Moreover, it is very resistant to light, if we talk about important quality outdoor use.
Silicate mineral paints are characterized by highly durable and weather resistant. They can reach more than one hundred years durability. An example of this is painted with mineral paint in the nineteenth century town hall of the town of Schwyz , Switzerland.
One of its most important properties is that they cover imperfections very well wall and can even fill in the cracks, or use them to plaster. Therefore, they are suitable for restoring other paintings as well as to cover natural stones, achieving a uniform effect. They are well suited for the restoration of old buildings, but is also often used in decoration for interior design, achieving amazing effects.
HOW TO APPLY Silicate paint?
It is desirable to ensure that the surface where we will apply is clean and completely dry. Before painting, prepare the wall with a primer solution, we will find our online store.
To prepare, it is important to note that we do mixing paint thinner and only once, if possible, since otherwise it is difficult to find the exact shade again.
You can paint with a brush so as roller or spray, but never will if the sun shines directly on the surface to be covered, if it rains or is windy.
Usually we apply two coats of paint, but always letting at least 12 hours apart.
Sometimes, there may be sensitive equipment around the wall on which we will work; glass, metal or ceramics, should be covered, and if you still get splash, it must be cleaned as quickly as possible with water.
HOW TO KEEP EXCESS PAINT SILICATO?
This type of paint should be stored only in plastic containers, tightly closed in a cool place. Being careful, it is kept in good condition up to a year.
Although anyone can use, and have a perfect finish, the fact is that a professional will achieve a better result, since this type of substance does not have the same ease of application plastic paints.
