Silikonharzfarben

Silikonharzfarben, also known as silicone resin paints, are a type of coating formulated with silicone resins as the primary binder. These paints are known for their unique properties that differentiate them from conventional paints. The silicone resin provides excellent water repellency, making these coatings highly resistant to moisture and preventing the penetration of water into the substrate. This characteristic contributes to their durability and protection against weathering and environmental factors.

A key advantage of silikonharzfarben is their breathability, often referred to as "diffusion open" or "dampness permeable." Despite their water repellency, they allow water vapor to escape from the building material, which is crucial for maintaining the integrity of structures and preventing the buildup of moisture within walls. This property is particularly beneficial for exterior facades, where temperature fluctuations can cause condensation.

Furthermore, silikonharzfarben exhibit exceptional UV resistance and color fastness, meaning they are less prone to fading or degradation when exposed to sunlight over time. They also possess a high resistance to dirt pick-up and are generally easy to clean. Their elasticity helps to bridge small cracks in the substrate and accommodates minor movements, thus contributing to a longer service life.

These paints are commonly used for protecting and decorating exterior surfaces, including mineral plasters, concrete, and existing paint layers. Their ability to withstand harsh weather conditions, maintain their aesthetic appeal, and protect building structures makes them a popular choice for architectural applications.
