Protection systems combined with masonry paint

Combination of hydrophobation, masonry paint and easy-to-clean effects.

The brand Protectosil^® offers a variety of building protection products. Most of them may be combined to achieve overall protection. In many cases, buildings need to be protected against damage caused by water or other pollutants, such as sulfate. They can be treated with paints and may need an easy-to-clean or antigraffi ti surface treatment. Protectosil^® shows that a combination of hydrophobation (Protectosil^® BHN), paint and surface protection (Protectosil^® SC product range) can be easily achieved. For example, by using Protectosil^® SC CONCENTRATE on a silicone emulsion masonry paint, the paint is protected against staining or bleaching so that a recoating can be postponed. If the paint is damaged through UV radiation or cracks, the mineral substrate is still protected against water or pollutants through the depth hydrophobation. For such a combined system, the water repellent is applied fi rst (e.g. Protectosil^® BHN) followed by the masonry paint. In order to protect the paint Protectosil^® SC CONCENTRATE is applied on top. This combination offers very good overall and long-term protection for attractive breathable facades.
