Description
Teknos Siloksan Facade Masonry Paint a water borne masonry paint, a fully permeable matt finish for use externally or internally on to previously painted render, concrete, plaster, lime render, brickwork or mineral boards. Easy application with brush, roller or spray leaving a flat matt finish that will offer many years of service. The unique binder formulation prevents the coating from becoming brittle from the action of UV light or heat. Teknos Siloksan Facade Masonry Paint is highly water repellent and keeps clean even in urban environments it resist degradation from atmospheric pollution. Silokson can be overcoated easily in the same day.
With Siloksan Gel added there is no need for separate priming on to bare, previously unpainted render or brickwork.
SURFACE PREPARATION
NEW SURFACES: New concrete element or cast surfaces can be painted with SILOKSAN FACADE Silicone emulsion paint when a minimum of one month has passed after the casting, the surface is completely bound and no longer wet or matt moist. In measurements the moisture values of the concrete must be under 97% as relative humidity (RH) or 4 % as per cent by weight. It is recommended that new plaster surfaces are coated only after a hardening time of 6-8 weeks.
Remove all dirt from the surfaces by cleaning with high pressure washer. When needed, add sand to the washing water or use a steel brush or similar in order to achieve sufficient surface profile (e.g. mould-cast surfaces). NOTE! When painting concrete elements take care of removing the laitance before painting. When preparing and painting substrates containing asbestos, regulations given by authorities must be followed.
PREVIOUSLY PAINTED SURFACES: Remove flaking and poorly adherent or pulverized (e.g. lime wash) paint coats from previously painted surfaces. The method to be used is chosen depending on the strength of the substrate and the type of the paint to be removed (e.g. wire-brushing, hot pressurized-water cleaning or water-sand cleaning). Remove also poorly adherent, brittle plaster and concrete surfaces. Check the condition of the concrete seams and repair where required. If concrete constructions have cracks by the reinforcement bars, these cracks are to be opened by e.g. chipping or with a grinding machine. After this the concrete is roughened, if required. Clean all rust from the exposed steel bars and protect them with e.g. a coat of INERTA MASTIC epoxy coating. Use appropriate mortar, on plaster surfaces repair mortar, to repair the opened cracks and dents. Finish the repaired areas carefully and let them harden before they are painted.

PLEASE NOTE
Mixed paints are Non Returnable and Non Refundable. They are made to order, all colours are made using approved manufacturers materials and equipment.
Due to varying screen resolutions, colour swatches shades can vary when mixed in to paint. We would recommend the purchase of a Tester Pot if you are unsure, this would give a more accurate
reference of the colour, also looking at the shade in the home environment would give additional assurance as colours are influenced by there surroundings ( Metamorism ).
It is the customers responsibility to ensure you order the correct colour.
