SILOMAL NANO

100% quality guaranteed: professional protection product used to prevent problems related to walls. Highly efficient colourless preservative with hydrophobic properties, recommended for substrates exposed to weather conditions, acids present in the atmosphere, and micro-organisms of biological origin such as bacteria, fungi, seaweed, algae, moss, lichens, etc. Silomal prevents moisture and all substances present in the atmosphere from penetrating the substrate. Providing a coating resistant to water penetration, this silane/siloxane product has self-cleaning properties. Creates a thin and water vapour permeable layer, ensuring the right appearance and atmosphere without affecting the colour.

Applications

Recommended for various types of substrates, such as indoor and outdoor plasters, decorative plasters, walls, marble, stone, façades, paving stone, terracotta, ceramics, sandstone, brick, etc. Provides excellent protection of surfaces exposed to water and dirt penetration in bathrooms, kitchens, laundry rooms, boiler rooms, as well as of decorative plasters such as travertine, concrete, rust effect, bucciato, etc. Can be applied to provide additional protection of critical surfaces (without proper eaves, north-facing walls, surfaces close to green areas) painted with Murisil F or covered with Murisil 1500. Recommended for modern buildings, historic tenements, office buildings, stylised buildings, manors, blocks of flats, sky scrapers, public utility facilities (health care, educational, cultural), sanatoriums, nursing homes, spas, etc.

Characteristics/Benefits

• rapid effect,
• easy application,
• protects against humidity,
• brightens the colour of the substrate,
• resistant to water penetration,
• enables the surface to "breathe",
• removes water vapour from walls,
• reduces vulnerability to dirt,
• does not contain harmful solvents,
• extends the freshness of the surface coated with paint or plaster,
• does not change the colour of the substrate, colourless, creates a thin layer.

General application principles

All work on a given substrate should be performed and finished with products from the same production batch, with the same serial number, as there may be slight differences in the base that may affect the final colour and effect. The instructions to perform the work in a professional manner are based on basic occupational health and safety rules, and guidelines described in the following sheets: technical, application system, adapting work to conditions (i.e. temperature, humidity, drafts, etc.), and proper surface preparation.

Before we begin painting, it is very important to verify the technical condition of the substrate and follow the guidelines related to its proper preparation. The substrate should be: stable, dry, cleaned, all cavities should be filled and any fungi should be removed if necessary. Dust must be removed from the surface, as well as any built up dirt and grease. If the surface does not meet the requirements, old layers of paint, which should adhere to the substrate well and endure the adhesiveness of the new finish, must be removed mechanically. When working on mineral textures that have never been painted, ensure they are clean and free of defects (new plasters should be painted after 3-4 weeks of stabilisation or after the time indicated by the producer of the plaster, putty, filler, etc.)

In order to achieve a level and homogeneous surface on a given substrate, the work should be performed by a single person using the same tools, with a short application time (without pauses) for each coat so the whole wall may be covered with wet paint.

The final effect depends on the user's skills, tools, and the amount of product applied. Therefore, the efficiency, samples, and other parameters presented here are illustrative and approximate only, calculated based on several years of experience and research, applicable to optimal climatic conditions (approx. +23°C and 65% humidity). The parameters may change in other conditions. However, due to a great variety of substrates and application conditions, it is necessary to verify the product and its effectiveness by testing it individually under given conditions.

If the surface requires washing, the whole wall must be washed with similar motions and using the same tools and liquids. Wash the tools with water immediately after use. ECORSON is not responsible for non-intended use of the product and uses inconsistent with the principles, also when used beyond our reasonable control.
