The pigments in a paint coating have to be extremely resistant to weathering and light if they are to do their job properly.
The resins in ecocoat facade are resistant to ultraviolet and infrared components of sunlight meaning the coating will not fade with the sun and will not lose its colour.
Ecocoat Silicone Facade masonry coating is also highly abrasion-resistant which assists in making it colourfast.
Dirty and discoloured facade are affected by the deposits of dirt particles that are held in place by rain and then dry out with the sun.
Silicone resins are resistant to:
- alkalis
- acids
- sunlight
- industrial emissions
- lichens
- algae
Rainfall simply washes the painted surface clean and keeps it clean year round. Surfaces coated with Ecocoat Silicone Facade will be self cleaning for up to 20 years.
