SILICOLOR

Silicone Emulsion Paint


SILICOLOR is a unique, silicone emulsion formula that resists soiling and water penetration yet provides high breathability. SILICOLOR can be used as an interior or exterior coating over plastered or previously coated autoclaved aerated concrete surfaces for long lasting protection. It can also be used over concrete and masonry surfaces.

Advantages
  • Highest vapor permeability available
  • Water resistant
  • Superior salt spray resistance
  • Excellent UV stability
  • Excellent coverage
  • Silicone emulsion formulation resists soiling
  • Good adhesion
  • Exceptional color retention
  • Unlimited color possibilities
  • Ideal for interior surfaces
  • Resists mildew and algae
  • No harsh odors
    • Surface Preparation All surfaces to receive SILICOLOR must be free of grease, oil, paint, and other foreign residues. Remove efflorescence and moisture related stains from the surface. All algae and mildew must be removed.
    Mixing Mix SILICOLOR prior to thinning to reduce its’ consistency. For brush or roller application, the first coat may be thinned up to 10% with water. The second coat may be thinned 5%. Spray application may require thinning with as much as 20% water depending on the surface, drying conditions, and equipment used.
    Application Untreated surfaces should be primed first. SILICOLOR should be applied in two coats. Allow the first coat to dry 24 hours before applying the second coat. Spray applications must be back rolled to ensure proper performance. Protect from rain until dry.
    Precautions Do not apply when the temperature is expected to fall below 40o F within 24 hours. Surface temperature should not exceed 95o F. Do not apply to metal. Not suitable for application over some resin paints. Do not apply directly on autoclaved aerated concrete.
    Drying Time Allow at least 6 hours. Actual drying time will depend on temperature and humidity.
    Cleaning May be cleaned with water prior to drying. After coating is thoroughly dried, the use of paint thinners may assist removal of material. Protect other surfaces from contact with coating.
    Coloring SILICOLOR is available in a variety of colors and dries to an attractive flat finish. Custom colors are also available.
