SILICOAT WR

WATER REPELLENT COATING FOR PAINTED / UNPAINTED MASONRY SURFACES

APPLICATIONS
SILICOAT WR is a water based, non-corrosive, Milky white Co-polymer liquid to be used as an overcoat or as an undercoat to cement based and acrylic based paints.  It serves the following purposes:
 

  • When used as an overcoat above Cement Paint, it maintains the sheen of the Cement Paint
  • It is UV resistant and therefore does not allow fading of the Cement Paint
  • Enhances the richness of the surface by not allowing dust accumulatio
  • Protects the paint and also the surfaces below the paint and hence serves the purpose of waterproofing since SILICOAT WR acts as water repellent
  • When used as undercoat, it prevents dampening of walls due to rain
  • It decelerates the process of ageing of building structure
     

METHOD OF APPLICATION

SILICOAT WR
is a user friendly ready to apply milky white liquid. It is to be brush applied or sprayed without adding water or any other ingredients. Surfaces to be treated with SILICOAT WR should be dry and free from all debris, dirt, oil, grease, wax and all other forms of contaminations, which can prevent the penetration of SILICOAT WR.  Dry weather or absence of rain during applications & 24 hrs thereafter is necessary for proper curing of SILICOAT WR. It takes long time to cure under humid conditions, in such cases allow for 72 hrs to cure.
 

ADVANTAGES
 

  • SILICOAT WR is a very good water repellent
  • It is colorless on application and does not alter the finish of the building
  • It gives very high gloss / sheen and can be applied on any paint
  • It has very good UV resistance like any pure Acrylic Paint
  • It has excellent weathering and waterproofing properties
  • It is effective for a period of seven years
  • It is very economical and easy to use
  • It gives the result equivalent to Acrylic Paint

 

SPECIAL FEATURES 

  • It gives clear, non staining coatings and does not affect the exterior decorative colours
  • It does not clog the pores of the wall and forms a very thin net like film which stops the entry of moisture but allows the dampness of inside to evaporate out
  • Dirt collects on wall can be easily washed off
  • It prevents efflorescence and fungus growth

UNIQUENESS OF SILICOAT WR

In case of normal Silicon based coatings, the problem occurs at the time of repainting of the building. This is because these coatings cannot be over coated by new paints unless the silicon-based coating is scraped all together.
 

Uniqueness of SILICOAT WR lies in the fact that any paint will adhere to this coating

 

ADVANTAGES OF SILICOAT WR AS COMPARED TO CEMENT PAINT

Sr.No.

 

CEMENT PAINT

 

 

 

CEMENT PAINT OVERCOATED BY Silicoat WR

 

1

Cement paint fades due to effect of sunlight

 

Fading is avoided due to Silicoat WR coating over Cement Paint.

2

Cement Paint washes off due to effect of water

 

Silicoat WR water repellent keeps the water away from Cement Paint. Hence Cement Paint is protected from washing off.

3

It is not UV resistant

 

Silicoat WR over Cement Paint is UV resistant. Hence the system of Cement Paint and Silicoat WR over it becomes UV resistant 

4

It does not form waterproof film

 

Silicoat WR forms water repellent film therefore

system as whole is water resistant.

5

 It is effective for one season only

 

Silicoat WR is longlasting and effective for seven years 

6

 It is economical

 

 

Economy achieved at little extra cost but with

excellent enhacement of properties as mentioned above

 ADVANTAGES OF SILICOAT WR AS COMPARED TO ACRYLIC PAINT

Sr.No.

 

ACRYLIC PAINT

 

 

 

CEMENT PAINT OVERCOATED BY
Silicoat WR 

1

Single layer system of two coats

 

Double layer system- coats of cement paint penetrate the body and fills the pores and two coats of Silicoat WR form water repellent film

2

Water drains off the surface due to smoothness of the film

 

Water repels from the surface due to the characteristic of the film

3

Degree of UV resistance is less

 

Degree of UV resistance is more

4

There is no repellency element, hence waterproofing will be of lesser degree and lesser duration

 

Waterproof surface achieved is of very high degree because water is repelled and not allowed to penetrate the surface

5

 Less economical

 

Much economical than Acrylic Paint with many additional properties
