Finngard Silicone Protect

Waterborne, silicone facade paint. For use on traditional lime-cement and cement plasters, mineral plasters thin-film polymer, acrylic and concrete surfaces. Can be used for renovation of dispersion and mineral (silicate) surfaces.

• Create hydrophobic surface with law water absorption, ensuring high durability • Vapor permeable – allows moisture to be drained from the wall • Surface highly resistent to fungi, molds and algae • Resistant to dirt • Available in a wide range of colors from Tikkurila Facade 760 color card

Especially recommended for renovation of thermal insulation systems made of expanded polystyrene and mineral wool.

6-9 m2/l per one coat, depending on the absorbency and structure of the substrate, application method and painting tool used. Attempt to determine the performance for a given substrate. Make test painting in order to determine the coverage of the substrate.

Waterborne

spraying, brush, roller

Work at air and substrate temp. not lower than +5°C and not higher than +25°C. Avoid direct sunlight, relative humidity> 80%, rain and frost. Protect the paint coating from rain for min. 48 hours - the optimum temperature and humidity conditions (temperature +20°C, relative humidity below 55%). This interval under conditions of elevated humidity and lower temperatures of air and ground may be extended.

The substrate must be carrying, dry and clean. Humidity of painted substrates should not exceed 4%. Products can be applied min. 16 hours after priming with Tikkurila Finngard Uni Primer. The product is suitable for use in commercial form, and before use requires careful mixing, if necessary thin the paint max. up to 5%. Apply two coats in min. 12 hours intervals. In order to avoid streaking and discoloration apply the paint in continuously way. Technological breaks schedule at the edges of the walls. Provide adequate amount of paint from one production batch. The paint from different batches should be mixed before use. Do not apply on lime coatings and distemper paint. Raw surfaces: The surfaces of new cement-lime, cement and concrete seasoned min. 4 weeks. Remove loose parts of the ground, dirt, greasy stains and salt efflorescence. Remove algae, lichens and fungi. Wash the facade with water at high pressure. Unevenness and cracks equalize with mortar with composition similar to the original. Prime the surface with Tikkurila Finngard Uni Primer. Previously painted surfaces: Remove loose and loose material substrate, peeling paint, dirt, greasy stains and salt efflorescence. Wash the facade with water at high pressure. Permanently remove algae, lichens and fungi. Remove the chalky substrate (eg. by blasting). Unevenness and cracks equalize with mortar with composition similar to the original. Prime the surface with Tikkurila Finngard Uni Primer. Before the renovation of old coatings should be performed test application that will assess the adhesion of the new paint to the painted surface, eg. by cross-cut and allow for evaluation of the appearance and color of the coating. A positive result determines the use of the product.

First coat:

Apply system: primer + facade paint by Tikkurila brand. Do not apply on horizontal surfaces exposed to direct contact with weather conditions: rain, snow. The manufacturer is not responsible for poor quality coating in case when above instructions are disregarded. It is recommended to use ANZA painting tools.
