Comparison between silicate and silicon based paint
- Silicate is a mineral (not including organic matter). It does not have volatile organic components (green products). Silicon-based organic volatiles
- Silicate root waterproof. Silicone is only water resistant
- Silicate root is not attacked by microorganisms. Silicon-based is not capable of this
- Silicate root fireproof. Silicone is a flammable substance
- Silicone applied on damp surface is better than silicon base
- Silicate root does not form a glossy film (it is crystalline). Silicon-based silicon film
- Silicate root penetrates the substrate. Silicone core is not permeable to the substrate
- Silicate root with better substrate (penetration).
Advantages of silicate paint
- Waterproof mineral paint
- Long-term sustainability (many dozen years)
- No blistering or blistering
- microbial resistance (fungi, mold, algae, etc.)
- High dust resistance
- Excellent breathing ability (not interrupted by front panel gas exchange)
- Natural finish (not shiny)
- Suitable for ecological environment (completely odorless and VOC)
- Fire
- Applications for indoor and outdoor areas
- Application on dry and damp surfaces (moderate moisture)
- High adhesive ability on large substrates by force consolidation.
- Increased penetration into the substrate (up to 7 mm)
- Most used on inorganic materials, concrete, cement and mortar, etc.
- Easy to apply by traditional methods
- Economically profitable
