Remmers Silicone resin paint system

The reversible alternative for moisture protection

The opaque or translucent Remmers silicone resin paint system is an alternative to the use of hydrophobising impregnations as a structural water-repelling measure. The outstanding performance of silicone resin paints is all thanks to its microporous structure.

These can be seen in their characteristic values. They achieve a diffusion resistance coefficient of around 150. This corresponds to an sd value of well below 0.10 m. As a

result, they can be said to be equivalent to conventional single-component silicate paints. The capillary water uptake of the normal paint layer achieves a low value of

0.035 kg/(m2h0.5). This corresponds to optimum protection against driving rain, which is exceeded by all silicate paints and most dispersion paints.

Greater transparency by adjusting the glaze level

The glaze level of Remmers silicone resin systems can be adjusted according to the requirements of historic preservation or the wishes of the building owner. Like genuine silicone resin emulsion paints, the binder base of Color LA Add transparent is a combination of silicone resin emulsion and pure acrylic dispersion.

Advantages of Remmers silicone resin paints and glazes

 Maximum water vapour permeability and minimum capillary water uptake
Also suitable for use on render surfaces of mortar class Plc (mortar with hydraulic lime)
Colours that blend in when used on historic monuments, thanks to colour-fast, inorganic pigments
Easy to apply by brush; stains can be applied in a wide variety of ways
Matt, chalk-like coating
No silicification and therefore no risk of narrowing, densification or clogging of the pore space
No interference with the carbonation reaction
Reversible
Contains film preserver for protection against algae and fungi
Self-cleaning (not susceptible to dirt accumulation)
Durable
