Mapei Silancolor Paint is a silicone resin, breathable masonry paint that has the advantages of traditional mineral based paints as well as synthetic paints. It makes the substrate very permeable to water vapour and is extremely water-repellent.
Best Uses
Mapei Silancolor Paint's has been developed for exterior and interior substrates, producing a very permeable coating that is extremely resistant to water vapour and moisture. Mapei Silancolor Paint offers high adhesion to all types of traditional renders and old well bonded paints. Its water-repellent nature protects the substrate from chemical aggression as well as remaining clean for longer than many other masonry paints even after many years of being exposed to rain and UV derogation, making this an extremely durable paint. Silancolor Masonry Paint is resistant to alkaline, regular washing, U.V rays and ageing, all without altering its properties or appearance. Silancolor Paint does not only protect the surface, but has a very pleasing smooth, opaque and velvet effect to the touch.
Application
IMPORTANT - Dilution rate add approx 650ml of water and mix with a paddle mix before application for a 5 Kg tub. Add approx 2.5 Litres of water to a 20 Kg drum and mix thoroughly using a low speed paddle mixer in an electric drill. This may vary due to ambient temperature and porosity of the substrate.
Preparing the substrate
New surfaces that need to be treated or any restoration with repair mortars must be cured, perfectly clean, well bonded and dry. Completely remove any traces of oils or grease on the surfaces and any loose parts. Seal cracks and repair damaged concrete with mortars from the Mapegrout range. Seal pores and level any uneven parts of the substrate with Monofinish
or Mapefinish. Apply Mapei Silancolor Primer (ready-to-use). After 12 - 24 hours, apply Silancolor Paint.
Preparing the product
Dilute Silancolor Paint with 15-20% water, making sure to mix thoroughly, using a low speed mixing drill. For partial quantities, it is recommended to stir Silancolor Paint as it is before using the quantity needed.
Applying the product
Silancolor Paint is applied using conventional methods: brush, roller, spray or airless on the special dry Mapei Silancolor Primer. For complete protection, wait 24 hours between each coat, in normal humidity and temperature conditions, and in all cases when the underlying layer is completely dry.
