Silicate
Dispersion Paints
A quality that surpasses most conventional
wall paints.
Silicate Dispersion Paint is
also known as Inorganic Mineral Paint. It was
developed in Germany in the late 1800s. Since then this
type of paint has evolved into a first-class interior and exterior
decorative, protective coating with out-standing technical
quality features.
As an exterior wall finish on
stucco, concrete, masonry and natural stone it is valued for
it's
• Durability
• Breathability
• Lightfastness and
• Resistance
against acid rain
on historical restoration projects as well as
in new construction of residential, commercial and institutional
projects.
As an interior wall finish on stucco,
concrete, masonry and drywall, Silicate Dispersion Paint provides
an odourless, anti-microbial, non-combustible, matte finish in subtle
Earthen & Mineral Pigment colours.
The colour range can reach from solid full-tone
colours to pastels, off-whites and more artistic approaches,
such as colour washes, faux-painting and mural painting.
Several auxiliary products make artistic painting with
Eco-House Silicate Dispersion Paints and Stains easier than
ever, even for the novice.

Surfaces
suitable for Silicate Dispersion Paint:
Ideal are all mineral wall surfaces made of concrete,
stucco, brick, natural stone or drywall. Only clean, rigid and
absorbent wall and ceiling surfaces should be painted with Silicate
Dispersion Paint. Do not use on metal or wood.
Application:
Read and understand instructions before you start. Some
surfaces may require a pre-treatment with # 1050 PrimaSil,
a Silicate Primer - Conditioner. Surfaces must be clean
of dust and oily residues. Apply 1 - 2 coats by roller, brush
or spraying. See Technical Data Sheet of the specific
product.
What
makes Silicate Dispersion Paint different
from Conventional Dispersion Paints?
 Conventional
Latex Dispersion Paint fails prevailingly due to aging
of the latex resin or due to moisture trapped underneath the paint
coat. When exposed to rising temperatures the trapped moisture
tries to evaporate, but is retained by an impermeable paint film.
As a result the water-vapours lift the paint film ( blistering
) and cause it to fail prematurely ( peeling ).
Inorganic Mineral Paint uses a liquid mineral
( potassium silicate ) as the binder, which determines the
fundamentally different attributes of Silicate Dispersion Paints. Unlike
latex resins, Minerals do not age.
Silicate
Paint does not form a film, but bonds by penetrating
into the surface and by petrification into a stone-like
micro-crystalline coating, which repels liquid water, but
allows water-vapours to pass through. Therefore
Eco-House Silicate Dispersion Paint can not blister
or peel - guaranteed by the laws of chemistry.
