Silicon A4

Silicon A4 is a water-based, silicon adulterated, acrylic, decorative and matte exterior coating material which gives the surface a texture of thin grains.

Decorative
It is decorative since it offers wide range of colors. By using different techniques, numerous decoration and texture combinations can be obtained.

Durable
Since our product is produced by using high quality silicon additives, it is resistant to different climatic conditions, its color does not fade and it doesn't crack, peel, blister nor moulder. It is resistant to water, humidity and impacts. Since it is produced by using acrylic binder of Swiss Clariant, it completely adheres and corresponds with the surface.

Economical
It is easily applied. It saves you time and labour.

Sanitory
It is water-based. It doesn't contain any substances that are harmful for human health and environment. It has a high value of vapour permeability and lets the applied surfaces breathe. It keeps molds, bacterias and microbes away.

• Plaster, Stucco
• Paste Backfilled Surfaces
• Concrete Surfaces of Prefabricated Buildings
• Undercoated Metal Surfaces
• Old Painted Surfaces

To avoid the water loss of Silicon A4 and get better adherence to the wall, 1 kg Izole Lak Pure Acrylic Primer should be mixed with 5 lt of water and must be applied to the wall by using brush or paint roller until the surface is saturated. Acrylic Putty must be applied for slight imperfections and Rustik Putty must be applied for subtler imperfections.

Silicon A4 must be reduced by using approximately 20% water and it has to be applied as two layers by a regular or lambskin paint roller. 12 hours are needed for the first coat to be dry. Before applying the second layer, Silicon A4 must be reduced by using approximately 5% water. Proper paint roller is used downwards to give texture to the surface. Application must be made with care without applying too much pressure on the surface.

The surface becomes dry in 12 hours under the temperature of 20^oC and 65% humidity conditons. It takes 36 hours to be resistant to impacts and dry completely.

For the application of Silicon A4, the surface must be stable and solid. So if it is applied in a new construction, four weeks are needed for the hardening of the cement.

Consumption
Izole Lak Pure Acrylic Primer: 0.020-0.030 kg/m²
Silicon A4: 0.600-0.800 kg/m²

The material must be stored in cool environments and must be prevented against frost. The product should be used within 12 months.

Silicon A4 is packaged and introduced to the market as 25 kg poliethylene buckets.
