CALSILIT F – Silicate facade paint
Silicate paint with an addition of hydrophobising substances
CALSILIT F - TDSA high-quality topcoat paint based on potassium water glass intended for the performing of paint coatings outside buildings and in KABE THERM SM and KABE THERM SM RENO EWI systems based on EPS and KABE THERM MW EWI system based on mineral wool.The product is intended for use only on mineral substrates (such as: concrete, traditional lime, cement-lime and cement renders as well as thin-layer mineral, silicate renders). It is especially recommended for primary and renovation painting of mineral substrates and for use at damp places on contemporary and historical buildings. It makes up a completely mineral, vapour permeable coating allowing for free evaporation of moisture from the walls and at the same time due to the application of hydrophobising substances, it efficiently protects the facade from precipitation. Prior to paint application, the substrate should be primed with CALSILIT GF. Note: Due to the specificity of the product, it is not recommended to use it on gypsum substrates (i.e. stucco).
Product advantages
• Resistance to adverse atmospheric conditions
• Extraordinary vapour permeability
