SIL4 BIO - SILIKATFARBE

SIL4 BIO is a mineral water-based paint, formulated according to DIN 18363, Section 2.4.6., based on potassium silicate, stabilised and modified with compatible binder, natural inorganic pigments resistant to light and UV rays and selected fillers. It also contains potassium silicate soluble in water which, following the application on the surface, reacts with the carbon dioxide present in the air and with the calcium salts present in the layer of plaster, giving birth to calcium silicate, mineral salt which possesses high consolidation and grip characteristics and gives the layer of applied product the appearance and properties of typical building materials. SIL4 BIO is easily applicable and, because it has a mineral nature, it has the appearance and color of colored antique plasters or old lime paint. Once applied, it does not create a continuous film but nevertheless, it has a high breathability to water vapor and excellent adhesion to the substrate, avoiding in time phenomena like detachment or stripping. Furthermore, it has a low retention of dirt and a sanitizing action that minimizes the ingrowth and proliferation in a time of bacteria, molds and algae. The product is weather resistant, it has good resistance to friction and washing and, if waterproofed with special siloxane additives, it gives the painted surface a low water absorption.

SIL4 BIO is suitable for application on exterior mineral mortar plasters based on hydraulic lime-binder, traditional and pre-mixed, finished, in particular for the protection and decoration of new buildings and in urban construction and in rehabilitation and restoration work of historic centers. SIL4 BIO may be tinted with the arteMURI tintometric system.
