FotoSilox
Siloxane resin-based paint in a water solution containing selected additives with excellent resistance to light. The specially selected raw materials provide excellent PHOTOCATALYTIC characteristics.
The PHOTOCATALYTIC properties of the formulation allow for the oxidation of pollutants and their subsequent transformation into harmless residual substances.
- “Cleaning” effect of pollutants by means of the decomposition of micro-organisms that dirty surfaces.
- High permeability to water vapour.
- High degree of water repellence and protection from aggressive chemicals.
- Antibacterial and anti-mould action by means of photocatalytic oxidation-reduction.
- External surfaces of historic buildings and modern day homes.
- City centre buildings exposed to high levels of pollution.
- Structures such as underpasses and arcades.
Substrates to be treated must be dry, solid and of mineral nature or old organic paint. The surfaces must be free from saline efflorescence, flakiness and peeling. Two coats of FotoSilox should be applied with a brush or roller over a coat of FOTOSILOX PRIMER.
N.B. You are advised to apply FotoSilox when the weather is good but not in direct sunlight or when it is windy. These factors can prolong drying times and harm both appearance and photocatalytic performance. The paint film normally takes from between 8 – 10 days to dry completely and the effects of rainwater can be the appearance of cause ugly translucent, sticky patches. These patches do not affect the protective properties of the product and they disappear when washed or subjected to subsequent rainfall.
