About the product
Matte mineral coating made of potassium silicate in aqueous solution, for the protection, decoration and restoration of mineral substrates with high resistance to the passage of time.
PROPERTIES
Strong bond to the substrate through physicochemical cohesion, high resistance to the passage of time, high breathability (water vapor permeability), highly resistant to dirt, good opacity and whiteness, and excellent degree of matt finish.
APPLICATIONS
Especially suitable for the restoration of historic buildings and, in general, for the protection and decoration of mineral surfaces and whenever a mineral finish is required.

Viscosity: 90 ± 25 U.K. (Krebs units) at 25 ± 10ºC (UNE 48-076).
Density: 1.43 ± 0.20 gr/cc depending on color (UNE-EN-ISO 2811-1).
Coverage: good. Yield: 6-8 m2/lt per coat. Drying time: 30-60 min. Recoating time: 4-8 hours. Tools: clean with water. Storage: more than one year in its original sealed container. Non-flammable C.O.V: 2004 /42 / II (A/c)(75/40) Max. VOCs: 39 g/l.
SURFACE PREPARATION
New surfaces: mortars or renders must be fully set (4 weeks) and clean. Old surfaces:
a) Of unpainted mortars or renders with organic paints: wash with high-pressure water and let dry. b) Previously painted with organic paints: completely remove old paints before applying Siliblatem.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
On very absorbent and irregular surfaces, prime beforehand with our Siliblatem Fixer. Apply two coats of Siliblatem, diluted with 10-15% drinking water. If necessary, the product can be applied wet on wet. It is applied by brush, roller or spray gun. Brush and roller 10-20% and spray gun 10-30% dilution.
RECOMMENDATIONS
Do not paint in rainy weather, when there is strong sunlight or wind, or at temperatures below 8ºC.
Surfaces that are not to be painted (glass, natural stone, ceramic, wood, etc.) must be protected with appropriate measures. Splashes on adjacent areas should be washed immediately with plenty of water.
PACKAGING
In 15-liter containers. Colors: White.
STORAGE
Storage time: more than one year in its original sealed container, protected from the elements (under cover and at a temperature between 5 and 35ºC).
SAFETY INFORMATION
If applied by spray gun, it is advisable to wear a mask. Keep the product out of the reach of children. In case of contact with eyes, wash with plenty of clean water. For more information, consult the product's safety data sheet.
